A day to celebrate Hamilton, the city that made us. The first Rally happened in 2018, it became bigger in 2022, and we're bringing it back on Saturday June 21, 2025.
Yes, it's a big rock ‘n’ roll show in a football stadium, but it's more than that to us. It's a day where we get to work alongside all of our favourite community partners to curate a weekend of fun for the entire city. Stand by for all the bells and whistles, and further announcements.
The band played its first show 20 years ago this spring at a battle of the bands at the campus bar at McMaster University. After ten records and a thousand shows, we're still trying to beat the last thing we did. So let's do that together, and make a memory at the best show of the year.
Every Rally, we want to bring Hamiltonians an act they might not get to see very often. PTM is a band we've loved so much for years. Uncompromising songwriters who've built a career one fan at a time.
How time flies! Years ago, Rob, the singer of Valley, served us at a Starbucks in Burlington. Little did we know that Valley was carving their own career with a relentless work ethic and timeless songs. It's been a joy to see them grow and become one of the best bands in the country.
Once in a while, you come across a musician on the internet and you say, "This artist has *it*". Seago has it. We can't wait for you to hear him.
Arkells are proud to partner with PLUS1.ORG to support the causes that are meaningful to them and their community. For the third edition of THE RALLY Arkells are supporting three organizations - Eva Rothwell Centre, Mission Services, and REFUGE Newcomer Health — groups working to support the city and its people.
To celebrate the BIG show, we’re doing something SMALL the night before tickets for The Rally are officially on-sale...
It’s not a dream. But it’s something that hasn’t happened in over a decade… Arkells are playing a small club in Hamilton. For 250 people. Thursday March 20, Arkells play The Underground. Want to go? You gotta be coming to The Rally, and you gotta prove it by signing up for the pre-sale.
