Alexisonfire & City and Colour Announce 2024 Born & Raised Festival

Alexisonfire, City and Colour, Dine Alone Records and Live Nation Canada have announced the return of the beloved Born & Raised festival. Back for its second year, the two-day event will once again take over Montebello Park in the artists’ cherished hometown of St. Catharines, Ontario on Friday, July 5 and Saturday, July 6, 2024. Tickets for this all ages event go on sale Friday, February 2 at 10am ET at ticketmaster.ca.

Alexisonfire and City and Colour have put together a stacked lineup of friends. Joining them are: Metric, The Used, Sloan, Counterparts, Dooms Children, and Ekkstacy.

“Born & Raised is back!” says Alexisonfire’s George Pettit. “After an overwhelmingly successful first attempt, the gang in AOF and City and Colour are returning to Montebello Park in peak physical form. Bring your friends, bring your sunscreen, strap in for the concert of the summer. Don’t sleep on it!”

Born & Raised is a celebration and homecoming for Alexisonfire bandmates Dallas Green, George Pettit, Wade MacNeil, Chris Steele, and Jordan Hastings. The festival pays homage to the Alexisonfire track bearing its name, serving as a tribute to the hometown that witnessed the humble origins of Alexisonfire, City and Colour, Dine Alone Records, and Bedlam Management. Alexisonfire rose up out of the St. Catharines, Ontario underground in late 2001. Green’s City and Colour’s Platinum certified solo album Sometimes debuted a few short years later in 2005.

Born & Raised Festival has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 per ticket goes to supporting Indspire and their work investing in the education of First Nations, Inuit and Métis students across Canada.

Stay tuned for more info and make sure you pick up your tickets this Friday!
