Two of Canada's most iconic country music stars, Terri Clark and Paul Brandt, are reuniting for an encore run of their wildly successful co-headlining acoustic tour, Homecoming Tour 2.0. Following the overwhelming response to their 2023 collaboration, the legendary duo will once again share the stage for an intimate, stripped-down concert experience that spans generations of beloved country hits. 
Fans can expect a night of unforgettable music and storytelling as Clark and Brandt perform their most celebrated song, trading stories and personal reflections that shaped their remarkable careers. Sharing the spotlight for the entire show, the pair brings undeniable chemistry and heartfelt connection to every note. 
"Being on tour with Terri Clark has been a highlight of my career; it's hard to recall the last time I had so much fun," says Brandt. "When you find a chemistry that is so natural and powerful, you just want more. The fans have spoken - the demand is there - so here we come. I can't wait to bring Homecoming Tour 2.0 to stages across Canada."
"Paul and I have been friends for years, but the Homecoming Tour was our first time sharing the stage - and the magic and chemistry were beyond what we imagined," says Clark. "We thought it might be a one-time thing, and I was genuinely sad when it ended. I'm thrilled we get to do it again, and to go coast to coast with one of Canada's finest talents."

"Paul and I have been friends for years, but the Homecoming Tour was our first time sharing the stage - and the magic and chemistry were beyond what we imagined," says Clark. "We thought it might be a one-time thing, and I was genuinely sad when it ended. I'm thrilled we get to do it again, and to go coast to coast with one of Canada's finest talents."

How to Train Your Dragon - Synopsis:
Hiccup (our hero) is a Norse teenager from the island of Berk, where fighting dragons, like the Monstrous Nightmare, is a way of life. His progressive views and weird sense of humor make him a misfit, despite the fact that his father (Stoik) is chief of the clan. Tossed into dragon-training with his teacher Gobber, he endeavors to prove himself as a true Viking, but when he befriends an injured dragon he names Toothless, he has the chance to plot a new course for his people's future.

Xiu Xiu 
Constantly shapeshifting around frontperson Jamie Stewart, Xiu Xiu has plumbed the depths of experimental noise rock over decades and continents.Xiu Xiu (pronounced "shoo shoo") was formed in 2002 and quickly established its confrontational approach on the debut LP Knife Play, including despairing lyrics, clanging percussion, a variety of instruments and multimedia storytelling. The emotional follow-up album A Promise explored the border between music and non-music, layering Stewart’s Reznor-esque vocals over a cacophony of audio experiments and surprising melodies.  Each release in the years since has been a fearless jump into new sonic territory. 2004’s Fabulous Muscles created waves of synthpop, while 2010’s Dear God, I Hate Myself experimented with chiptune sounds engineered with a Nintendo DS. They released a tribute album of Twin Peaks tracks in 2016 and described 2017’s Forget as their “most direct engagement with pop music,” which is just the tip of the iceberg of their vast discography. Between this dizzying flurry of albums, the band has relentlessly toured the world, collaborated with Mitski, and gigged alongside acts like Deerhoof and Sun Ra Arkestra. They performed an extended audio piece at the Guggenheim Museum in 2019, and in 2023, Stewart published a brazenly vulnerable memoir entitled Anything That Moves. Their latest album, 13" Frank Beltrame Italian Stiletto with Bison Horn Grips, is a chaotic storm of psychedelia that explores the idea of "interesting uselessness.” It’s also proof that fourteen albums and 20+ years in, Xiu Xiu’s noisy exploration — from post-punk universes to danceable queer pop over kosmische rhythms — is far from over. 
Devours
Across five acclaimed underground albums, Devours — the electropunk project of Vancouver-based DIY artist Jeff Cancade — has written confessional and confrontational electronic music about masculinity, body image, gay politics, and inner-city queer existence. Their most recent album, Sports Car Era, came out in March and featured Japandroids’ David Prowse on drums for the live release show.
Kee Avil
Montreal producer Kee Avil combines guitar, voice, and electronic production to forge deconstructed songs informed by a distinctive amalgam of post-industrial, avant-pop, glitch, minimalist, and experimental folk sensibilities. Her second album, Spine, was released May 3, 2024 on Constellation Records as Bandcamp’s “Album of the Day.”
KERUB
The brainchild of Vi Levitt, KERUB is at the confluence of ambiance, driving drums, traditional folk melodies, and hyper-modern club music. Apocalyptic but playful, KERUB independently released their debut album, MIN, in ‘23, a techno-organic take on Jewish mysticism through instrumental transgender allegories. Their sophomore album is expected to release this year.
HAWA B
Genre bending Montreal artist HAWA B challenges the limits of creation with her iconoclastic music of plural textures, where soul and jazz meet alternative rock. Through her first two EPs, Sad in a Good Way and sadder but better, HAWA B embraces melancholy and its most contrasting variations. This ultimately led to her breathtaking debut LP better sad than sorry, released last November.
MORRISMORRIS
The raw, sensual, and sometimes abstract sounds of MORRISMORRIS are a love letter to audio synthesis and the electronic underground. Their sonic vision harmonizes buzzy post-punk influences with a passion for some of the most important electronic movements of our time, such as Chicago footwork, UK jungle, and Detroit techno.
Tawni Bias
Freak-folk art rockers Tawni Bias blend raw vocals, experimental production, and post-rock grit to craft vulnerable, hopeful tuneage. Their sound moves between earthy folktronica and other-worldy noir vibes. Latest single “Soot” is an invitation for listeners to reflect, connect, and embrace human struggles whether at home or at the show.

Horse Jumper of Love
From contemplative slowcore to melodic indie rock, Horse Jumper of Love has covered miles of sonic ground across five albums. They wear their influences on their sleeves as well, whether opening for Duster’s reunion tour or creating a fuzzed out Smashing Pumpkins cover. Latest album Disaster Trick hoodwinks listeners with intimate songs awash with shoegaze heaviness.Hailstones
Beginning in 2023 as the solo endeavour of Idlefon’s Hesam Ohadi, Hailstones soon transformed into a collaborative symphony of shoegaze-y dream pop. Now featuring Mehraun Ehsani (canadabasement) on guitar, Bo Scavvies (The Bonsais) on bass, and of course Ohadi’s captivating vocals over keys, Hailstones are a dreamy sight to be seen.
Ribbon Skirt
Led by Anishinaabe musician Tashiina Buswa, Ribbon Skirt is a four-piece alternative group from Montreal formerly known as Love Language. Their 2025 debut album Bite Down (released on Mint Records) brings a darker and more introspective sound, dealing with themes of memory, grief and Buswa’s connection to her Indigenous identity and cultural practices.
Bluffing
Featuring prominent local jazz drummer David Lavoie, along with guitarist Aidan O’Reilly and bassist Jae Polgar, Bluffing isn’t messing around with their hazy brand of uniquely Canadian indie rock. Their second EP, Nature, is a three-track trifecta of American indie, emo, and just a bit of Pavement-style grit, creating a raw, dynamic sound they’re becoming known for.
Barbara
“Kurt Cobain but pretty” just begins to describe Barbara’s experimental indie rock and psychedelic dabblings. After back-to-back appearances at Sled Island and the inaugural Bob-Sled festival in January, Barbara is set to return to the other side of the Rockies once again, this time in support of their brand new sophomore LP, SO THIS IS LIVING.
Dresser
This Montreal trio creates art-rock built on a foundation of well-considered lyricism, drawing inspiration from songwriters like David Berman and Jason Molina. Their introspective songs are laced with overdrive and untethered delivery, evoking hints of post-punk, emo, and krautrock influences. Check out the ‘24 release Fuel for a taste of their eclectic sound.
Witch Victim
Everything-gaze collective Witch Victim have finally released their self-titled EP, and Calgary has taken notice. The six-song shoegaze odyssey was #1 on CJSW for the first two weeks of its release, and its shambling grooves even made waves on Windsor and Victoria radio stations. These psychedelic purveyors are always a “can’t miss” piece of the Sled Island puzzle.

nk. archaic
Emay — AKA nk. archaic — is a producer who draws influences from every corner of hip-hop, electronica, and more. As a child of Ghanaian immigrants, his art channels his personal experiences to address sociopolitical realities. On the recent single “sns.,” Emay navigates glitched-out MF DOOM vibes and ominously cold drum beats to explore a new future.
Arlo Maverick
Incorporating soul, jazz and Afrobeats with hip-hop to move his fans physically and emotionally, Arlo Maverick is a thought-provoking lyricist with a killer band behind him. Arlo’s live show – which he describes as a symbiotic exchange – has opened doors for him to headline festivals, receive radio play and perform overseas.
Bijaan
With roots stretching across India, East Africa, and Canada, hip-hop artist Bijaan finds influence on a global scale. Inspired by the lyricism and authenticity of the early pioneers of the genre, and the poise and polish of the modern era, Bijaan’s music transcends generations, creating a unique blend of old school authenticity with new school swagger.
Tanajah
New York hip-hop artist Tanajah blends self-empowerment and positivity through reflective lyrics and vibrant performances. Her 2023 EP, What If Dreams Came True?, propelled her to international recognition, growing her fanbase across borders.

Lowkita

Lowkita is a force to watch, evolving her craft while staying true to her roots and embracing a world of musical inspiration.
K-Riz & The Family
Having found his stride at the intersection of hip-hop and R&B, award-winning K-Riz packs his syllables and vocals with power. A rare, multifaceted artist who can rap and sing with equal aplomb, on his third full-length album One Way Ticket, K-Riz pulls from an assortment of influences and showcases the dynamo at his apex.

Makaya McCraven
With a philosophy that connects jazz with folk tradition and the future, drummer and bandleader Makaya McCraven has been a vital piece of Chicago’s storied jazz puzzle for nearly 20 years. 
Born to a Hungarian singer and African-American drummer, Makaya spent his Massachusetts childhood immersed in Eastern European folk, avant-jazz, and ‘90s hip-hop influences. He cut his teeth in jazzy hip-hop band Cold Duck Complex (who opened for the Wu-Tang Clan!) before relocating to Chicago in 2007 and quickly establishing himself as a force behind the drumkit, collaborating with the likes of Willie Pickens and Sled Island alum Jeff Parker. 
His debut record as a bandleader, 2012’s Split Decision, incorporated rock flair and hip-hop bounce into free-ranging jazz arrangements, a firm mission statement for Makaya’s musical fearlessness. This genre-bending continued on 2015’s In The Moment, a synthesis of jazz improvisation and rap beats that made the “Best of 2015” lists for PopMatters, NPR, and the Los Angeles Times.
You can trace Makaya’s visionary approach through his releases since. ‘17’s Highly Rare showcases his deft live improv, while ‘18’s Universal Beings creates a melting pot of international sounds and narratives. He reworked Gil-Scott Heron's final album We’re New Again with swampy blues flair, and his 2022 release, In These Times, boils seven years of recording sessions in a labyrinth of introspective, poly-textural arrangements. 
Makaya’s electric live show — which incorporates virtuosic drumming with thrilling improv — has to be seen to be believed. Check out his Blue Up performance uploaded to YouTube last year for a taste of the party you’re in for, Calgary. mineo kawasaki
Japanese drummer and composer mineo kawasaki builds electronic soundscapes, both with live drums and a MIDI controller. The solo project employs vinyl sampling infused with elements of house, techno and experimental music to carve tracks that sound just as good in headphones as they do on the dance floor.
Midnight Channel
Existing in the cosmos between free jazz and intricate songwriting, Midnight Channel deals in sonic joy via strings ‘n sax. They originated as a collective from the University of Lethbridge’s music program before dropping Gemini Sunrise in 2023. The album bends between familiar smooth jazz melodies and thrilling improvisation that careens with wild abandon.
Hip Hip ThursdaySix musicians began jamming together on (you guessed it) Thursdays at The Alcove: thus, Hip Hip Thursday was born. A truly Calgarian project, this collective fosters creative space to speak truth to power, reflecting the diversity of talents Mohkinstsis has to offer. And they do it all with a jazzy, indie-funk flair and an irresistibly feel-good live presence.

Tropical Fuck Storm
“Supergroup” only begins to describe Tropical Fuck Storm, a furious typhoon of hooky art punk and clangy noise rock straight out of Melbourne. Founded by Gareth Liddiard and Fiona Kitschin from The Drones and rounded out by Lauren Hammel of High Tension and Erica Dunn from Mod Con, TFS made a loud statement with 2018 debut album A Laughing Death in Meatspace: the techpocalypse is upon us, and they’re going to make it a party fuelled by wit and odd time signatures.Following a flurry of tour dates with Modest Mouse and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, TFS unveiled their second album to the world. Braindrops, released in 2019 through Joyful Noise Recordings, delivered mangled art-rock jams and swampy grooves that were described by Iggy Pop as “a good fuck” and earned a Austrailian Music Prize nomination. This was followed by Deep States, a hyper-experimental stew of psych rock dirges that explored social media fuckery, science fiction mind fuzz, and conspiratorial compassion fade. Deep States was listed among NME’s 25 best Australian Albums of 2021 and received the Best Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Album award at the 2021 ARIA Awards.Following the skronky Satanic Slumber Party split EP with King Gizz in 2022 and the highly acclaimed Moonburn EP later that year, the storm briefly cooled its fiery touring schedule in 2023. But the band is back in the saddle (and the studio), ripping across live dates on the path to Sled Island. Looking for an entry point? Their latest release, the live album Inflatable Graveyard, was recorded at the peak of their ‘22 “Fuck the Rain Away” tour and showcases over an hour of scorching wobble rock that blisters the skin and rings out the ears; a perfect taste of the psych-rock insanity in store for Calgary.
MotherhoodUplifting and unpredictable, Motherhood has been some of eastern Canada’s finest purveyors of thoughtful art rock for over a decade. After relentlessly touring the world, they’ve brought it altogether for their weirdest, hookiest release yet: Thunder Perfect Mind, a sci-fi concept album that squares the circle between Gnostic myths, Morricone guitars, Pixies-style wails, and hardcore punk rippers. 
Family ManRelentless and brutal are the two words that define Family Man’s evolving post-punk sound. Their debut EP, What’s New, was inspired by the turmoil of one of the members’ breakups, while the ICONOCLAST LP addresses deeper issues such as sexuality, religion, trauma, and death. Feedback addicts rejoice for these noisy punks.
Eye of Newt
This self-proclaimed “overthought” art rock project of Calgary multi-instrumentalist Nate Waters relies on shameless pop songcraft butting up against insistently obtuse compositional quirks. Disjointed jazz nerd guitar lines and caterwauling electronics weave their way around their first EP, Stay In Your Lane, which is advice Mr. Waters can’t seem to take himself. Who knew that questioning everything could be so catchy?
Truck Violence
Brazenly smashing hardcore punk and folk together, Truck Violence are a prairies-to-Quebec transplant with a deadly edge. Also informed by punk, shoegaze and sludge, their ‘24 debut LP Violence is a shifting kaleidoscope of heaviness, anchored in small town reminiscence. If you got sweaty at last year’s Show Me the Body show, you’re gonna love Truck Violence.
Cheer
Spanning the cosmos of psychedelia and krautrock, Cheer is Calgary’s shambling Fuzzenstein’s monster. Featuring members of BRIDGELAND, Sub / / Cell, and Brain Bent, their eclectic touch is felt throughout the scene — but it’s best heard on their epic ‘24 release Pure Mass Detection. If the relentless riffs don’t grab you, the soaring three-part vocals will.
SunglaciersCalgary quartet Sunglaciers deliver highly relatable rock music laced with post-punk, new wave and garage elements that is intricately constructed, yet highly danceable. The group made waves in 2024 with a 30-date tour across North America to support their third full-length record Regular Nature — a sprawling epic showcasing their myriad of styles.

Step into the dark and decadent world of kink and fetish at the inaugural FETISH BALL—a night of unfiltered expression, bold fashion, and unapologetic queerness.
Guests are encouraged to wear their kink and fetish gear—harnesses, latex, leather, jocks, and everything in between—as we celebrate all things sensual, subversive, and liberating.
The night will feature live performances and demonstrations from some of Canada’s top burlesque, kink, pole, and drag entertainers—including Karla Marx, Bitch Sassidy, Luna Love, Holly Graphic, Shawn Tay, and Kage Wolfe. All set to a pulsing soundtrack of industrial, techno, synth, and dark pop, spun by Greycell and Rollin Dolan.
Indulge your desires with a decadent menu of à la carte kink experiences, curated by experts in eroticism. From spankings and massages to lickable boots, bites, and beyond—each offering is designed to tempt, tease, and fulfill your fantasies. Perfect for Kink-lite night—a space for voyeurs, erotic enthusiasts, and the kink-curious to connect, explore, and enjoy.
The FETISH BALL is a queer-centered, body-positive, and inclusive space, created for all to dance, explore, and connect in safety and consent.

Mary Lattimore
From performing with Thurston Moore to live streams on Resident Advisor, Mary Lattimore is known to shape-shift her harp with effects pedals and synthesizers. This contemporary approach shimmers through her 2020 album Silver Ladders. But the nine plus minute single “I Spent the Day Inside” is her latest, a waterfall of plunked notes and haunting melody.
SANAM
With lyrics inspired from Arabic folklore and a primordial storm of heavy free rock, SANAM’s debut release Aykathani Malakon is a hypnotic slow-burn of old and new, indebted to traditional Egyptian songs and post-punk experimentation. Take part in their audio rituals on last year’s release Live at Cafe Oto… or better yet, right here at Sled Island. 
Hermitess
The project of self-professed “reclusive witch” Jennifer Crighton, Hermitess deals in sonic dreams, with music and images bringing listeners deeper. Layered orchestral textures, harmonic voices, and pedal-driven magic combine with a harp (and sometimes a backing band) to configure a fleeting fever dream of haunting chamber melodies.
Elder Blessing
This year, we’re very fortunate to start off the festival with a special elder blessing, taking place on Wednesday, June 18 at Central United Church. The ceremony starts at 5:30pm ahead of the Mary Lattimore show.

Rae Spoon
Musician, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and author Rae Spoon returns to Sled Island after a memorable appearance in 2011. Spoon is a trans, non-binary artist who lives with multiple disabilities, reflected on their most recent album, Not Dead Yet, which was written about their lived experience of cancer diagnosis, treatment, and complications. Expect new music in 2025, both as a solo artist and with the punk project Big Rivers.
DOOM GONG
Comprised of seven music school nerds, DOOM GONG has made a name for themselves with their own home-baked genre “denim psych,” a hodgepodge of psychedelic rock, jazz fusion, bedroom pop, lofi, contemporary classical music, and – you guessed it, denim. They’ve brought this sound across North America with numerous tours, festival appearances, and a flurry of releases. Now, they arrive at Sled Island.
Dempsey Bolton
Moved by his modern-day heroes Dominic Fike, Harry Styles and Caye, Dempsey Bolton turns his heartbreak and hardship into upbeat indie pop anthems. After showcasing at Breakout West and MUSEXPO 2024, Dempsey works full-time as a music producer and released his sophomore album, I’m Not Sad, U Are, in April ‘25.
sunshower
Led by multi-instrumentalist Benjamin Cook, everything you need to know about sunshower is right there in the name: upbeat psych rock that washes over you like a bright, beautiful day. The project dropped its debut, self-titled EP last year — produced by Cook himself — and it serves as the perfect entry point to sunshower’s mirage-like take on indie rock.
Blush.
Pulling inspiration from a wide variety of alternative, indie, shoegaze, and folk music, Blush. is a coastal Canadian rock band that weaves together crunchy textures, haunting electronics, and ethereal melodies. Released in February 2024, their debut EP Still Wet shines with promise and is filled with ‘90s charm.

The Rocky Mountain High Improv Show

Computer
This seven-piece band — originally consisting of just Ben Lock and Hudson Schlesny — has a full-bodied, sumptuous take on jazzy post-punk. Their debut single, “Weird New Vocation,” is a rollercoaster of rollicking rhythms and a smidge of atonal dissonance, like a sheened-up Black Midi. Bands this new and exciting are what Sled Island is all about!
CHXMERAS
Based in Vancouver, BC with roots in the Northeast of England and nêhiyaw/Denesuline territory in Treaty 6, spellbinding electronic duo CHXMERAS weave immersive, cinematic sounds and fractured dub, experimental techno, mutating noise, deep ambient, and hip-hop rhythms into a genre-bending, otherworldly experience.
Babe Corner
Pulling from the nostalgic melodies of The Carpenters and Mazzy Star, Babe Corner is your new favourite West Coast power pop band. Gritty guitar licks and tempo changes enmesh themselves with soothing vocals and synth you can just taste on ‘23 debut album Crybaby. This five-piece is Vancouver’s best-kept secret, and guess what? You’re in on it. 
World News 808909
An electronic duo combining influences of techno, house, alternative and ambient music, World News 808909 channels through a live hardware setup of synthesizers, drum machines and samplers, and the heart of their sound lies in improvisation and on the spot mixing. It's a memorable experience that blurs the lines between rebellion and euphoria.
Mattmac
Blind music producer and artist Mattmac blends melodic pop-trap beats with an inspiring story, earning over 30 million streams and critical acclaim. His accolades include winning the grand prize in CBC Music’s Searchlight 2023 and Canada’s Walk of Fame Emerging Musician award. With three highly acclaimed albums under his belt, there’s no saying what’s next for this rising star. 
Tea Fannie & The Collective
2024 was the year of Tea Fannie, from a cover story on REVERIE mag’s second issue to a jaw-dropping performance at the YYC Music Awards ceremony. Her feature-heavy release It’s All Love fuses trap beats with soulful croons and rapping snarl, and guess what? She’s just getting started. Once again joined by supergroup backing band The Collective, don’t miss Tea’s return to Sled Island.
Hip Hip Thursday
Six musicians began jamming together on (you guessed it) Thursdays at The Alcove: thus, Hip Hip Thursday was born. A truly Calgarian project, this collective fosters creative space to speak truth to power, reflecting the diversity of talents Mohkinstsis has to offer. And they do it all with a jazzy, indie-funk flair and an irresistibly feel-good live presence.
Daniel Son
A vital part of Toronto’s hip-hop scene, Daniel Son is the founder of the Brown Bag Money collective and a member of The Umbrella. His debut album, Moonshine Chemist, was released in 2015 and he has since released numerous solo and collaborative projects – most recently with Ghost Notes on this year’s glitchy rap odyssey, The Estes Method.
Bennett Mitchell
Like a jam session where the Talking Heads meet outlaw cowboys on acid, Bennett Mitchell and his band conjure a sound that bridges the grit of the earth with the mysteries of existence. It’s a soundscape that captures the rugged simplicity of Western country life, only to spiral it into psychedelic realms of soaring guitars and hypnotic rhythms.
 Drag Pop-Ups
Once again, we’re thrilled to have drag back at the festival thanks to the expert curation of Hope Madison Fay. Local queens Dayna Hart, Karlotta Handle, Rudy Tuesday and host Valerie Hunt will add their own personal touch to the Kick-Off Party by performing in-between bands, making the whole evening even more fabulous!!

Yaya Bey
Hidaiyah "Yaya" Bey has lived a thousand lives: poet, street medic, museum curator and lately, one of the most genre-bending R&B artists working today. Her kaleidoscope of life experience shines through her intoxicating blend of jazz and soul melodies, delivered with raw sincerity. In her own words, “I wouldn’t never rather be no other thing but the thing I am.”
Born and raised in Queens, Yaya came up as part of the NuBlack Music Group collective alongside artists like Sammus and Zenizen before dropping her first record in 2016, a window into New Yorker life called The Many Alter-Egos of Trill’etta Brown. 2020’s Madison Tapes solidified Yaya’s jazzy charm and disarmingly vulnerable lyrics, paving the way for The Things I Can't Take With Me EP the following year on the British label Big Dada.  
In 2022, Bey released her breakout album Remember Your North Star, which received “Best New Music” from Pitchfork and combined Afrobeat bounce with neo-soul swing on tracks like “alright.” On 2024’s Ten Fold (which also received “Best New Music”) Yaya explores the death of her father — Grand Daddy I.U. of the legendary rap collective the Juice Crew — with painfully honest wordplay over a dizzying blend of hip-hop and poppy house that dances around samples of her dad’s voice. A recent dancefloor remix of “the evidence” courtesy of Exaktly further cements Yaya’s wild sonic abandon and shapeshifting sound. 
Seeking a taste of her live show? Check out Yaya’s recent Tiny Desk appearance, a 16-minute primer for her vivid connection and aching vulnerability onstage ahead of her debut Sled Island performance.  
BAWAH
From a stunning appearance at Vancouver Fashion Week to opening tour dates for Oxlade, BAWAH (formerly known as MAUVEY) has been taking no prisoners with his explosive brand of electronic hip-hop and R&B. Fresh single “PRAY FOR ME” melds pop sheen to bouncing Afro-beats, and with a new album coming soon, he’s just getting started.
(un)decided
Staying true to their name, local eight-piece (un)decided blend R&B, neo-soul, and hip-hop to create a unique sound shaped by an eclectic mix of musical influences. Through improvisational jams and freestyle cyphers, they balance energy and spontaneity with a relaxed but confident sound that translates perfectly to the stage.
ZENON & The 64
Offering up original neo-soul tunes, provocative lyrics and powerful vocals, ZENON & The 64 take you through ebbs and flows of the human experience with a groove to match. Led by singer-songwriter ZENON, they make their return to Sled Island with a brand new lineup, complete with Francis DNM on guitar, Balazs Ordog on drums and Trevor Wiebe on bass.

150 Years Later: Reflecting on Fort Calgary’s Legacy
The year 2025 marks 150 years since the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) established Fort Calgary on the land near the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers — land that was already a place of gathering and ceremony for the Niitsitapi of the Blackfoot Confederacy, the Îethka Nakoda Wîcastabi First Nations, the Dene people of Tsuut’ina First Nation and the historic Northwest Métis.
In commemorating this milestone, The Confluence invites community to reflect on the legacy of the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) at Fort Calgary and examine the historical and contemporary impacts of settler-colonialism. 
Hot Dogs & Hot Takes on History is one of many events planned for 150 Years Later programming. Throughout 2025, The Confluence is presenting a symposium, art exhibitions, Quest Theatre’s We Are All Treaty People, special museum exhibits and more.
