Our full lineup is finally here! The 180+ additions announced today join a list of over 65 previously announced artists, confirming 250+ bands to play the festival this June!
Newly announced artists include heavy metal favourites TORCHE, Jersey punk trio Screaming Females, hip-hop soaked garage rocker Obnox, English electronic duo My Nu Leng, Oakland-based sludge rockers Kowloon Walled City, reunited riff machines Barn Burner, indie-rock up-and-comer Stef Chura and emotional alternative project Black Belt Eagle Scout, the final pick from our guest curator Julien Baker. On top of that, we are joined by Anishinaabe singer-songwriter Ansley Simpson, last year’s Indigenous Music Award winner for Best New Artist, gloomy alt-pop group Little Destroyer and Vancouver post-punks NOV3L.
Today’s announcement also includes accomplished avant-garde composer Jonathan Kawchuk, doom-infused post-punkers Bonnie Doon, Edmonton grunge trio Dead Fibres, Mint Records staple dumb, playful pop-punks Necking, psych-meets-post-punk outfit Peeling, experimental electronic hip-hop duo PLAINS (featuring Trent Reznor/Saul Williams collaborator Thavius Beck), Toronto folk-pop project Quaker Parents, the vintage sounds of power-pop four-piece The Sick Things and emerging indigenous electronic producer Ziibiwan.
As always, we love to showcase local talent and have plenty of Calgary artists joining the 2019 lineup, including art-rock septet 36?, country crooner Amy Nelson, electro-pop duo Beach Season, the snarly punk of Hairnet, trap whiz Jae Sterling, experimental flautist Jiajia Li, indie-pop idols Lab Coast, precocious punks Slut Prophet, pastel-bathed bedroom-pop act soft cure and the riff-laden intensity of beloved metalheads Woodhawk.
