Get ready Calgary, The Blue Stones are going to turn up the heat on Friday July 10th as they kick off the 2026 Oxford STOMP at Prince's Island Park with their explosive opening set!
The Blue Stones—vocalist and guitarist Tarek Jafar and drummer Justin Tessier—formed during their university days and inspired by the freedom of creating without boundaries, grew from playing small-town bars to headlining iconic venues like The Troubadour in Los Angeles, Electric Ballroom in London, and The Danforth Music Hall in Toronto. Along the way, they’ve racked up over 300 million streams, four JUNO nominations, and radio hits like Shakin’ Off the Rust, which topped Rock charts in Canada and hit #5 on U.S. Mainstream Rock.
The Blue Stones’ sound—a melting pot of rock, blues, hip-hop, and pop—has always set them apart. They thrive on contrasts and a controlled sense of chaos, both on record and during their awe-inspiring live shows. “We’ve always wanted our music to empower people,” says Justin, speaking about their latest album METRO. “This record is about reconnecting with your authentic self—the part of you buried under everyone else’s expectations.”
