It’s cold out, so let’s warm up in the pit!
is hitting the ground running for 2026 with our winter concert series. New local bands, old favourites returning and hidden gems you haven’t experienced yet that will blow your minds (and ears!)
We’re back in full force with Vol XIII on Tuesday, February 3rd. To kick it all off, we’re bringing back Calgary’s Upside Down Man who tore up the stage and turned heads waaay back at Vol 1. Hot on the heels of their recent release; Fairy Tale for a Modern Age. With them we have .band and locals Company of Wizards
Vol XIV Tuesday, March 3rd. Coming back to Banff for the first time since 2020 with a new 3piece lineup is loser points - back in action and hungry to storm stages, this melodic pop-punk act will have you singing along to their choruses after the first listen. Also in March we have .music and Go Away Fast making their Banff debut. Banff’s best band, Jonny Rocketmans Atomic Tango round out this killer evening.
Vol XV Tuesday, April 7th, the last of our 2026 winter series is far from the least. After experiencing their live show for ourselves, we dug deep and harassed lushclot until they agreed to make Banff a stop on their spring schedule. Comprised with veterans of Edmonton’s different music scenes, this newer project is often described as hypnotic and mesmerizing and seriously needs to be experienced to be appreciated. Joining them are 2 Litre Superpunk and Banff’s Regal Foul both with fresh new releases. Reckloose from Edmonton take up opening duties.
Thanks goes to our sponsors for making this go forward Hilhorst Realty Pro Image Signs & Printing Gerryoke and our new media partner Rocky Mountain Live
