Bowling For Soup at Union Hall

Bowling For Soup

If you need a dose of unpretentious, instantly catchy pop-punk, then there are few better bands to see than Bowling for Soup. The quintet formed in the 1990s, and spent much of the decade cultivating a small but loyal following as their contemporaries (Green Day et al) took over the world. Get ready to have fun with Bowling For Soup this year!

Dropkick Murphys at Edmonton Convention Centre

Dropkick Murphys

The Dropkick Murphys are a Celtic punk band who count amongst their many influences bands such as The Pogues, The Clash, Stiff Little Fingers and AC/DC. Their music has been used as the Boston Red Sox's World Series-winning song as well as in many films such as Fever Pitch. Don't miss them live this year when they hit the road once more!

Explosions In The Sky at Midway Music Hall

Explosions In The Sky

Explosions In The Sky are heading on their first tour since 2020! With a reputation for a scathingly intense live performance and a quickly sold-out CD-R demo 'How Strange, Innocence', which was later reissued in 2005, Explosions in the Sky was touted early on in their career as the next phenomenon in moody and dynamic instrumental indie rock a la Mogwai and Godspeed You Black Emperor!

Social Distortion at Midway Music Hall

Social Distortion

Hailed as the godfathers of Punk, Social Distortion have spent their four-decade career playing by their own rules to create a distinct brand of West Coast Punk Rock with a Rockabilly edge. While the band has seen multiple line-up changes, lead vocalist and guitarist Mike Ness has remained a constant leader, overseeing the release of seven studio albums and numerous world tours.

Tokyo Police Club at Midway Music Hall

Tokyo Police Club

They might have announced the end of their career, but don't worry, the Tokyo Police Club are going on one last tour! Taking off across North America with support from Born Ruffians, the indie rockers promise to lead you on a journey spanning their entire career, from A Lesson in Crime to TPC, and everything in between.

Evanescence and Halestorm at Rogers Place

Evanescence and Halestorm

Alt-metal icons Evanescence and Halestorm are teaming up for a powerhouse joint tour this fall, bringing a smorgasbord of heavy goth and emo rock, and course, phenomenal vocals to a stage near you. As titans of the genre, this is an unmissable chance to see both bands in what is sure to be one unforgettable night out!

Neck Deep at Union Hall

Neck Deep

Welsh alt-rockers Neck Deep are heading across the pond this fall in support of their recently released self-titled album with The Home Team and Super American in support! Calling to mind the glory days of Blink 182, New Found Glory and Fall Out Boy, the quartet have risen to the forefront of the current pop-punk revival with supercharged teen anthems comprised of fuzzy power chords, pounding drums and hook-laden melodies.

Needtobreathe at Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium

Needtobreathe

Grammy-nominated Needtobreathe are hitting the road again this year doing what they do best and bringing their music to their fans on their latest 'Caves' tour. Don't miss your chance to see them live as they cross the country with 27 dates from April through to July before heading to Europe later in the year!

Sebastian Bach at Union Hall

Sebastian Bach

The name Sebastian Bach may call to mind delightful Baroque interludes and powdered wigs, but during the 1980s, a hair rocker with long blonde locks, a rebellious attitude, and growling, powerhouse vocals rose to prominence and claimed the name for himself. Don't miss the iconic Canadian singer-songwriter as he hits the North American road once again!

The Dead South at Edmonton EXPO

The Dead South

Harkening back to an era where country was more about punch-in-the-guts emotions and authentic performances than auto-tune and fist-pumping party anthems, The Dead South are often described as outlaws for their fearless return to a simpler time, blending bluegrass and folk with the energy of a DIY punk band. As compelling on stage as they are on record, the rock-stomping Canadian quintet hits the road once again!
