ARKELLS EXPAND “THE RALLY” HOMETOWN SHOW TO A FULL STADIUM PERFORMANCE
JUNE 23 AT TIM HORTONS FIELD IN HAMILTON WITH VERY SPECIAL GUESTS COLD WAR KIDS, BISHOP BRIGGS & ELLEVATOR
09 MARCH 2018 (Toronto, ON) – Due to overwhelming demand, Arkells are pleased to announce an even bigger hometown show on June 23. Their wildly anticipated summer kick-off, “THE RALLY” has been upgraded to a full stadium show, now including the upper bowl of Hamilton’s own, Tim Hortons Field. From the 905 to the 416 – this will be their only show in the Golden Horseshoe this summer and it is not to be missed.
Fresh off their spontaneous tweet-driven trip to the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Arkells make today’s announcement hot on the heels of the recent news that they will be performers on the 2018 JUNO Awards broadcast, where they are nominated for three awards, including Single of the Year for their hit, “Knocking At The Door”. The band first announced “THE RALLY” earlier this year, with a little help from Canada’s 2018 Olympic Flag-bearers, Olympic figure skating champions, Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir. WATCH HERE.
"We're blown away by the response to THE RALLY. It's already our biggest show ever, and we're still four months out. It's hard to express how lucky we feel! We're opening the upper bowl with the hopes of getting the entire Golden Horseshoe to Hamilton for the weekend. The dream is to have $26 cheap seats feeling like a party. So round up a car full of friends and make it a night in Hamilton. See you at THE RALLY." – Arkells
Vocalist/guitarist Max Kerman, guitarist Mike DeAngelis, bassist Nick Dika, drummer Tim Oxford and keyboardist Anthony Carone, collectively known as Arkells, have been relentlessly touring in support of their latest album, Morning Report; building their audience and further solidifying their reputation as a passionate, high-energy, live-rock authority. Since the release of the album, the 4x JUNO Award winners have made their debut at some of the biggest marquee festivals in the US, including Coachella, Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo. Their most recent hit single, “Knocking At The Door”, spent an unprecedented 14 weeks at #1 on the Canadian alt/rock charts, making it the most played alt/rock song of 2017, and Arkells the most played band of the year.
