Celebrating 20 Years of Arkells

In addition to the big rally news, 2025 marks a huge milestone for Arkells – their 20th anniversary as a band.

The first time Arkells ever performed together was at a battle of the bands at McMaster University in the spring of 2005. And Since then, they’ve gone on to release ten albums, play thousands of shows, and become one of Canada’s most beloved and successful bands.

As they reflect on two decades of music, the Arkells are as motivated as ever to push boundaries and create unforgettable memories with their fans. They’ve always been about making each show bigger and better than the last, and with this year’s rally, they’re set to do just that.

Special Guests and Performers

As if Arkells weren’t already an exciting enough headliner, they’ve invited some incredible artists to join them for this year’s rally. Get ready to rock out to performances by Portugal The Man, Valley, and Seago – three amazing acts that will bring their own energy and style to the stage. These acts are sure to complement Arkells’ high-octane performance, making the entire day an unforgettable experience.

As always, Arkells are committed to giving back to their community. This year, $1 from every ticket sold for the rally will be donated to Hamilton organizations through Plus 1, an initiative that supports charities and causes in need.
