SUMMARY:Sled Island presents: Horse Rider\, Bluffing\, Aladean Kheroufi and Lushings
DESCRIPTION:Horse RiderIf you squint hard enough\, you can try to slot them into the “emo” label\, but Horse Rider plays neither the stoned math rock nor the emotionally volatile pop-punk that’s been associated with the term in recent years. Instead\, the four-piece creates an intensely melancholic brand of melodic indie rock\, with influences of slowcore\, power pop and more.BluffingAlways evolving and (contrary to their name) always wearing their heart on their sleeves\, Bluffing is a Calgary three-piece forging introspective indie rock with post-punk\, emo\, and shoegazey influences. Their contemplative sound blends slacker rock grit with hypnotic grooves and candid lyricism. Check out their two self-released EPs and get hyped for their upcoming full-length. Aladean KheroufiA veteran of the “making it work” school of music making\, Aladean Kheroufi records in improvised spaces with borrowed microphones and a minimalist\, low-volume sound that will be instantly familiar to fans of Vulfpeck. He writes songs that are idiosyncratic\, soulful and devastating\, with a glass half-full optimism that turns heartbreak into melancholy party anthems. LushingsCalgary\, ABChanneling ’90s alternative rock into layered soundscapes that feel both intimate and expansive\, Lushings was initially shaped by their shared influence within Calgary’s music scene and have since become a familiar presence at Sled Island. Weaving hazy melodies through walls of heavy guitar\, their live sets are immersive and unfiltered.Important info:Start and running times are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Sled Island and Absolute Underground present: Suffering Hour\, Milkmaid and Old Mound
DESCRIPTION:Suffering HourPitch-black metal trio Suffering Hour plumb the depths of depravity for an avant-garde take on extreme music. Their sound features goth intonations\, primal howls\, and even touches of thrash metal on their latest EP\, Impending Rebirth. With thunderous riffs born in the pits of hell\, Suffering Hour is one of the heaviest shows at Sled Island this year.MilkmaidExisting at the edges of heaviness and restraint\, Milkmaid is an all-female doom/sludge trio inspired by the isolation of the prairies. After witnessing the sheer power of Seattle sludge band MUÑECA at Sled Island last year\, Milkmaid found new motivation to represent the genre in 2026\, with hopes of encouraging more women to explore their metal side.Old MoundStream-of-consciousness lyrics\, gliding freak vocals and fuzzed out minimalist bass riffs rule the psychic landscape of Old Mound\, a witchy post-metal project fronted by Wes Christiansen. Meditative and uncanny\, this solo endeavour plies the queer trauma prairie landscapes of Southern Alberta with old haunts to emerge supreme with new wisdom and oracular vision. Important info: Start and running times are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Sled Island presents: Spank Williams\, Forest Ray\, Virgo Rising and more
DESCRIPTION:Spank WilliamsA high-energy cow-punk five-piece originally from Merritt\, BC\, Spank Williams pulls as much from James Brown and Tom Waits as they do from Hank Williams and George Jones. The group claims to lack capabilities in singing and songwriting\, but this is easily disputed by their impressive musicianship\, good-time inducing performances and knee-slapping shenanigans.Forest RaySeattle-based folk n’ roll group Forest Ray has been described as “spaced-out\, down to earth” and “Brit-pop gone country\,” and through a consistent touring and recording schedule\, they have become one of Seattle’s most known active bands. Their sixth studio album\, Windfucker (Jebivjetar)\, was released in January 2024.Virgo RisingShimmering with knotty arrangements\, heartfelt storytelling and a luminous sense of depth\, Virgo Rising blends intimate bedroom pop with electrifying indie rock. With their EPs Sixteenth Sapphire and Vampyre Year earning critical praise\, stay tuned for their debut full-length album slated for release in the fall of 2026.The Rifle County PlayersEmerging as an experiment to indulge in a genre outside of their musical comfort zones\, The Rifle County Players cut their teeth with country classic covers and have since transformed into a Calgary mainstay with a growing original catalogue. Check out their latest release “22-X Rated” – the first single off their upcoming album expected in 2026.Important info:Start and running times are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Sled Island and CKXU present: Julius Sumner Miller\, Astrology Girl\, VIBES and more
DESCRIPTION:Julius Sumner MillerBlazing their own path in the punk rock world since 2013\, Julius Sumner Miller is a raucous five-piece with five albums under their belt\, and a high adrenaline show that needs to be experienced live. JSM covers the mundane to the arcane; sometimes personal\, sometimes partying\, sometimes political\, it’s all on the table.Astrology GirlBridging the gap between Midwest emo and the Warped Tour punk scene\, Astrology Girl delivers a nostalgic\, diverse selection of songs on their 2024 self-titled EP. Their Sled appearance that same year was a banger\, so strap in for an abundance of sad chords for pit villains this year. VIBESFormed in 2014\, VIBES has become a staple of Alberta’s hardcore scene. The group blends skate-punk and metal influences with five-part vocal attacks\, thunderous drums\, and rapid-fire lyrics tackling political injustice\, harm reduction and personal growth. Start with their latest album\, Baseball Bat to the Worlds End.Rebel GrrrlzEmerging from Calgary’s all‑ages underground\, this five‑piece riot punk outfit delivers loud\, fast bursts of teenage angst and socially charged lyrics. Their 2025 included appearances at Purple City\, SoundOff Summit\, and on the Coca-Cola Stage at the Calgary Stampede. Plus\, the release of their snarling debut EP We’re Gonna Eat Your Soul.

SUMMARY:Sled Island and CJSW present: Backxwash\, MAGELLA\, Lana Del Rabies and more
DESCRIPTION:BackxwashInfluenced by traditional Zambian music\, industrial metal and experimental hip-hop\, Ashanti Mutinta has carved out a noisy place in Canada’s rising rap scene. After a prior win in 2020\, her most recent album\, Only Dust Remains\, was also considered for the 2025 Polaris Music Prize. Uncompromising\, unpredictable\, and deeply political; Backxwash is all this\, and so much more. MAGELLAMontreal-based singer-songwriter MAGELLA carefully blends elements of industrial\, electronic\, experimental and soul\, and combines it with the diasporic blues. With her powerful\, warm tone\, she uses the various colours of her voice to create a sonic canvas\, examining themes of isolation\, identity and resistance.Lana Del RabiesOn Omnipotent Fuck — the second in a planned trilogy of releases — Lana Del Rabies plumbs the depths of spiritually esoteric thought with clanging sounds and relentless industrial drones. Her confrontational\, feral audio assaults hold a dark mirror up to modern pop music. Will you like what you see? Bring earplugs and prepare for sonic possession. Yolande LarocheA familiar face in projects such as Pony Girl and Orchidae\, Canadian Taiwanese artist and producer Yolande Laroche delivers a high-energy performance that melds EDM with haunting pop melodies and raw dynamic vocals. Bringing a commanding presence to the stage while offering audiences a visceral and unapologetic experience\, stay tuned for her upcoming album Run Body Run.DermabrasionGoth duo Dermabrasion have peddled their fleshy post-punk with a deceptively ferocious live show that has landed them supporting slots for the likes of Lydia Lunch RETROVIRUS\, Vision Video\, and Front 242’s Patrick Codenys. With their debut album\, Pain Behaviour\, released on Hand Drawn Dracula in 2024\, the band received rave reviews and solidified their reputation for menace.Void CompThe solo project of artist and producer David Julé\, Void Comp fuses electronica\, indie and alternative rock into a uniquely atmospheric sound. Known for lush\, dark production\, the project indulges in hazy synths\, heavy drum machines\, electric baritone guitar\, and warm\, ethereal vocals that feel both intimate and expansive.ECHTHROSPresenting sheer sonic agony in the form of meticulously arranged industrial/power-electronics\, ECHTHROS delivers a central theme of ongoing colonial violence against the Indigenous Peoples of so-called Canada. Their storytelling delivers anguish\, vengeance\, determination\, and celebration through a wall of harsh drone balanced with the calm uneasiness of what is to come next.Important info:Start and running times are subject to change.
