Get ready for an explosive performance by Cartel Madras, the experimental hip-hop duo composed of sisters Eboshi and Contra. Born in Chennai and raised in Calgary, they fuse trap, punk, and house into an incendiary "goonda rap" that defies genres. Known for their fierce live shows and deep roots in the queer and underground punk scene, Cartel Madras doesn't just make music; they ignite the stage and redefine standards.

Kicking off the night, Indian Giver will deliver their urgent hardcore sound, fronted by Indigenous artists from Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. Their powerful music directly confronts issues faced by Indigenous communities, promoting reconciliation through a bold reappropriation of punk, hardcore, and metal spaces.
