If you’ve ever wanted to hear the iconic song played at the end of an Oilers home game win, Los Lobos will be performing in Edmonton in the spring.

River Cree Casino and Resort announced the concert on Tuesday and will play at The Venue in May.

The band is most known for their hit La Bamba, which has special ties with Edmonton Oilers fans.

Not only was La Bamba one of Joey Moss' favourite songs – who was the Oilers' former dressing room attendant before he died in May 2022 – but it was also among Oilers superfan Ben Stelter’s favourites before he died four months later due to brain cancer.

The 50-year veteran band will perform their hits at The Venue at River Cree on May 15 at 8 p.m.

General sale will be available on Ticketmaster on Friday.
