SAT AFT SLED @ THE SHIP
Sled Island Music & Arts Festival presents WHEELCHAIR SPORTS CAMP w/ Tea Fannie / Magella / Halfcut and Cole The God

No Cover *****Priority given to passholders.

4:00pm
ᴄᴜᴛᴛʏ Calgary, AB
With a style that’s unapologetically authentic, Calgary rap duo Halfcut & Cole The God (AKA Cutty & Cole) are two of the coldest from the North. They bring you raw, hard-hitting hip-hop with gritty beats, sharp lyricism, and intricate production. Not to mention an unmatched live performance best described as a two-headed, moonshine-drinking, fire-breathing monster.

5:00pm
Magella Montral, QC
Montreal-based singer-songwriter MAGELLA carefully blends elements of industrial, electronic, experimental and soul, and combines it with the diasporic blues. With her powerful, warm tone, she uses the various colours of her voice to create a sonic canvas, examining themes of isolation, identity and resistance.

6:00pm
Tea Fannie Calgary, AB
Bold and genre-bending, Tea Fannie blends hip-hop, soul and wit into fearless storytelling. Known for her clever lyricism and unapologetic vibes, she turns life’s highs and lows into beats that hit hard and linger longer. Basically, if she’s on stage, you’re in for a good time whether you’re ready or not.

7:00pm
Wheelchair Sports Camp Denver, CO
Combining humorous hip-hop, playful electronic experimentation, and middle fingers all around, Wheelchair Sports Camp is “Denver’s biggest smallest band.” Fronted by Kalyn Rose Heffernan, a tiny rapper who delivers high-pitched bars from a wheelchair, this group lies at the intersection of all the genre-bending weirdness, inclusive fun, and playful experimentation that make Sled Island so special.

FRI SLED @ THE SHIP
Sled Island Music & Arts Festival and Momentsfestsiksika present Weedrat w/ Midnight Peg / Iron Tusk.
Free Show ****Priority Entry with a Sled Island Wristband

10:00pm
Iron Tusk Siksika, AB
Born from the heart of Treaty 7 land, Iron Tusk mixes punk urgency with stoner‑metal weight, carving out a sound that’s as gritty as prairie winds. Since forming in 2016, they’ve dropped bruising releases like Flooded Times and III (Dream Eaters). Their latest EP, Disowned, blares community strength at maximum volume.

11:00pm
𝐌𝐈𝐃𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐏𝐄𝐆 Edmonton, AB
“Hagcore” is coming for you. Titillated? Afraid? You should be. Commanding the stage with explosive intensity, Midnight Peg’s take on punk demands attention. This powerhouse blends post-hardcore grit with avant-garde post-punk experimentation. Those who have seen The Peg perform live know the passion they have for their craft. And it’s contagious.

12:00am
Weedrat
Meet your new favourite Diné punk band. Weedrat fires off fast, furious pop‑punk rooted in rez‑kid grit. With releases like III and The Rat Cometh, their raw energy is palpable in songs that confront sexism, violence, and Native issues. Every show is a politically-charged slam-dance party, and everyone is invited.

SAT SLED @ THE SHIP
Sled Island Music & Arts Festival presents Lulu Lamontagne w/ Shy Friend / Birds Of Prrrey / Sub//Cell.
No cover *****Priority Entry to Sled Island Wristband holders.

9:00PM
Sub / / Cell Calgary, AB
There’s a veteran pedigree behind the evolving local garage rock monster Sub / / Cell. Featuring members of Window Lamp, Parisian O**y, Lushings and Cheer, this supergroup’s swampy approach to post-punk owes as much to The Jesus and Mary Chain as it does to its prairie surf essence, throwing just the right reverb and melodic hooks to reel listeners in.

10:00PM
Birds of Prrrey Montreal, QC
Loud music for big hearts is what this scrappy three-piece is all about. Birds of Prrrey pay homage to the riot grrrl movement through their DIY artistic ethos, and channel the spirit of feminist punk through their powerful vocals and gnarled-up guitar riffing. Finely honed in Montreal’s underground scene, they bring passion and intensity to every performance.



11:00PM
SHY FRiEND Calgary, AB
Brutally honest, tragically dramatic, and full of feminine rage, alt rock six-piece SHY FRiEND has been turning the Alberta music scene into a church for all the q***r, pop and punk misfits. They create over-the-top experiences with bombastic visuals, absurd bits, and raucous energy that makes every venue a party, and every oddball in the room a valued guest.

12:00AM
Lulu Lamontagne Montreal, QC
Making their riveting onstage debut in January 2025, Lulu Lamontagne has already garnered a fanatical following in their hometown of Montreal and across southern Canada with their modernized glam-punk sound and theatrical stage show. With further single releases and a debut album arriving this year, Lulu is as inevitable as the changing of the seasons.

THURS SLED @ THE SHIP
Sled Island Music & Arts Festival presents K-Riz & The Family w/ Arlo Maverick / TinyWiings.

Free Show ****Priority Entrance for Sled Wristband holders.

10:00PM
TINY 💖 Calgary, AB
Known for sharp bars, magnetic delivery and genre-bending beats, trap-meets-club rapper Tinywiings balances humour, confidence and emotional honesty, cutting through oversaturation with personality first. Unapologetic, engaging, and impossible to overlook, her clever lyricism transforms into moments that truly stick.

11:00PM
, AB
Four-time Western Canadian Music Award nominee Arlo Maverick incorporates soul, jazz and Afrobeats with hip-hop to create a sound that moves his fans — both physically and emotionally. He describes his live-band show as “symbiotic exchange,” and if that doesn’t sell you on the Maverick experience, we don’t know what will.

12:00AM
K-Riz Calgary, AB
Blending hip-hop, R&B, pop, jazz, and a touch of reggae into an electrifying live experience, K-Riz & The Family is a dynamic band known for their high-energy performances. With a sound that transcends genres and a stage presence that radiates joy, this seven-piece hip-hop ensemble continues to carve their path as one of Canada’s most exciting live acts.

SLED @ THE SHIP
Wednesday June 17th, Sled Island Music & Arts Festival presents SICK PUPPY with guests POOR GIRL and TOXIC FEM!

10:00pm
Toxic Fem Calgary, AB
Powered by bold vocals, thrashy guitars and punchy hooks, Toxic Fem channels in-your-face feminist punk with community at its core. With nods to Bikini Kill, Fugazi, The Distillers and more, the four-piece mix riot grrrl ferocity into an urgent grungegaze showcase on their debut EP Toxic Fem Just Won’t Shut Up!

11:00pm
POOLGIRL Montreal. QC
Combining riot grrrl and punk influences with melodic indie rock, five-piece group Poolgirl brings an equally antagonistic and cheerful energy to playing music, with singsong harmonies interspersed with distorted guitars, heavy breakdowns, screams and laughter. Check out their latest single “Triple A” for a little taste of what to expect.

12:00AM
St. Johns, NL
Otherwise known as your girlfriend’s favourite band, Sick Puppy began as three friends playing hardcore mid-pandemic but quickly progressed with the release of their debut tape Haunt The Hill and a supporting tour in 2022. Jump to 2026 and we find the band with an upcoming LP, a second guitarist, and a drive to expand upon their hardcore roots.
