December lineup reveal!

On December 6, we’re heading to Kensington Market for our first show at St. Stephen-in-the-Fields. Choose your own adventure: thrash against colonial purity politics with Indigenous-led hardcore from Indian Giver, sweat everything out to STELLA’s dance floor cacophony, take a dip in Toronto Experimental Translation Collective’s hot tub or lounge on one of Tamara Jones’ plush parodies of hostile architecture.

Tickets and full lineup below!

Long Winter returns to St. Anne's for a 2-night season blowout

NEXT FRIDAY marks the beginning of our two-night return to St. Anne’s. Sending out year 13 in style, next weekend (March 21 and 22) we've got a double dose of Long Winter at St. Anne's Parish Hall. 

Spilling across two floors, next weekend's programming will feature the prodigal return of sleaze punks SLASH NEED chasing a week of SXSW camp and debauchery, the local debut of Pursuit Grooves and Caleb Klager's Arc&Texture project, stilted circus stunts from Pixel Heller, healing tones from Spectral Soundbath (bring your own pillow), and so much more.

Notably, Friday will also feature open decks hosted by local party crew Not A BBQ, and Saturday's programming includes open HDMI presented with InterAccess.
