Punks and rudies assemble. This year’s Friday Night Curling Club show may be the best lineup of punk and ska we’ve ever assembled.

Headlining the night is one of Canada’s most beloved and longest running punk bands, Propagandhi. Originally forming in Winnipeg in the mid-80s, Propagandhi quickly made legions of fans with a trademark blend of pop-punk melodies and thrash metal fury. Never one to rest on their laurels, Propagandhi’s music has constantly evolved to become more complex, aggressive, and experimental across their acclaimed catalogue of LPs on legendary punk labels Fat Wreck Chords and Epitaph. On top of constantly challenging themselves musically, Propagandhi’s career has been underlined by an uncompromising commitment to social and political justice, staunchly supporting progressive causes and vehemently opposing global fascism. Their message is as important as ever, and we’re honoured to host them at our festival. They may have sang “Ska Sucks” 30 years ago, but we don’t hold grudges! Maybe they’ll even play it…

Formed in 1995, Save Ferris remains one of the seminal and most beloved bands from the third wave of ska. The group’s Orange County home was fertile ground for a thriving music scene, with innumerable legendary punk and ska artists emerging from the region. Alongside peers such as No Doubt, Sublime, and Reel Big Fish, Save Ferris blended a diverse array of musical genres to help bring the region’s sound to the world. Anchored by the enigmatic frontwoman Monique Powell, Save Ferris is still going strong with a fresh lineup, new songs, and a renewed fervour for lighting up every stage they touch. You’ll mosh, dance, and skank with a big smile on your face the entire time.

You know we couldn’t just book one legendary Canadian punk band, right? Formed in Montreal over 35 years ago, GrimSkunk have spearheaded the Quebecois punk scene through their genre-blending music, fierce political message, and unwavering commitment to uplifting rising acts. Playing more genres than we have time to list and singing in several different languages, expect a GrimSkunk show to take you on a global journey through punk, metal, hardcore, folk, ska. reggae, Latin music, and beyond. Ask your Quebecoi friends about GrimSkunk and they’ll quickly tell you about how momentous this performance will be.

Rounding out the lineup is Punitive Damage. Sporting members from both BC and Washington State, the group is one of the most vicious punk acts to come out of the Pacific Northwest in recent memory. Anchored by savagely screamed vocals, lightning-fast drumming, and blazing guitar playing, Punitive Damage’s no-bullshit brand of hardcore is impossible to ignore. Much like the evening’s headliner, the group is not afraid to speak their mind, as their socially conscious lyrics attack systems of oppression, hate-fuelled violence, and inequity.

As if this lineup wasn’t packed enough, DJing between acts is local favourite Grossbuster. Previously a member of BC punk favourites One Drop and The Rebel Spell, Nate Cunnings is better known nowadays for his involvement as a producer and DJ in the hip-hop and electronic scenes.
