THE performers

Headlining Saturday night, the unbeatable, indefatigable, unforgettable Wormwood Scrubs - from the first Strummerfest to today, one of our most faithful and supportive performers, and deliverers of an awesome rock and rock and rock and roll show!
She sings like Pat Benetar, plays like Joan Jett, and has a penchant for writing 90's-inspired anthems!
Delivering KW's most awesome rocksteady Jamaican style rub-a-dub , The Baudelaires are one of Strummerfest's most regular supporters, back again for 2018!
"A soft tour-de-force, the grand echo from the small sound, a burst of light from the centre of the room," from her page at Epoch Tapes, seems to perfectly describe this award-winning young singer from right here in Waterloo!
A hot indie/soul/ska/punk outfit from hogtown, Copper Crown first joined the Strummerfest family for our Toronto StrummerJam 2016.  We think you'll be glad they've come back to be part of Summerfest 2018!
Powerful old school punk rock out of Montreal. We saw The Nailheads first in Toronto, and we're stoked they've made Strummerfest a stop on their 2018 tour!
Bringing their own brand of indie, cow punk rock, Mr. Jr. joins us straight outta the heart of Ontario.
Nobody brings Joy Division back to life, like the Dead Souls!
Honestly, it doesn't get any essentialler, any let-downier or any awesomer punk- rocker than Guelph's EsSeNtiAl LeTdOwNs !

JERRY GREY

A local songwriter and his gang on bikes. What more do you need?  Honest indie rock from right around here.

& the suburban bicycle gang
True southern Ontario punk rockers from the wastelands of Burlington, Ontario.

jesse webber
A one-man phenom of folk-punk-rock'n'roll,
​joining Strummerfest for the fourth time!

DREW LEITH

Soulful, country-style rock from
​one of K-W's local music legends.
Original, diverse and dynamic, Jesse Webber brings his solo act for the first time to the Strummerfest stage.
70's and 80's punk era classics performed by one of Waterloo-Wellington's most authentic cover bands (if that's a thing, they make it a thing).
Original plucky folky punky rocky rhythms by banjo and guitar are what make Bad Raven Lucy as unique and entertaining as their name.
Due to a work conflict, BRL might not be able to perform at Strummerfest this year, so they are not on the posted schedule. If they are able to attend, theirperformance will be at 1 pm on August 4.

Craig DOUGAN TRIO

HEIRS

No, not the LA band, but the sensational local indie pop songstress, Sara Godfrey, and her bandmate, Cole, delivering a taste of their acoustic legacy.

Craig Dougan, of "The Almost Hip", brings his trio along for a fine mix of rock, roll, and everything in between. 
Skylar Valli might be the youngest performers at Strummerfest this year, but they've already made a significant mark as winners of the 2018 Kitchener - Blues Youth Legacy Competition.   Be sure to check them out here before their Bluesfest performance later this year!
