Friends, it’s that time of year again! Not Dead Yet 2016! October 13-16! We’re celebrating some of the best HC Punk going in 2016, join us! Let’s celebrate friendship!
Thee Toronto Hardcore Punk fest, NOT DEAD YET, is coming back for it’s sixth installment in 2016 -running from October 13th through 16th.
This year, NDY continues to bring top shelf DIY PUNK & HARDCORE to Toronto for a weekend of bad ass riffs, moshing, vegan snacks and all around insanity. A four day hardcore smorgasbord across multiple venues and spaces, with a little something for everyone who’s got an ear for Hardcore, Punk and Hardcore Punk.
2016’s lineup features some of the biggest bands in the field right now, as well as some that we hope will be among the new favourites. Highlights include perhaps HC’s most vital current band G.L.O.S.S., Maryland groove moshers TURNSTILE, New York City punks LA MISMA, NWOBHC flagbearers VIOLENT REACTION & ARMS RACE, Boston HC mainstays WASTE MANAGEMENT, Catalan punk maniacs BARCELONA, UK HC punk masters THE LOWEST FORM and many many more.
As always, the fest aims to break down bullshit genre confines and celebrate this movement in all of it’s unbridled glory. It’s a for the people who are just as excited about seeing a band they haven’t seen in years as they are one who just dropped a demo they’ve never heard before.
While Toronto’s current urban climate makes it difficult for all shows to be at-all-times accessible, there will be as many shows as possible that are all ages shows and/or physically accessible. The festival is happy to say it is anti-racist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, anti-sexist and generally opposed to any and all oppression. If you can’t hang with that, don’t bother trying to hang with us.
Expect 4 days of chaos, hardcore punk, art, madness and mayhem. The only way it should be! Stay tuned for more band announcements, ticket info and schedule coming soon!
