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 5th and Saturday, July 6th, 2024. Tickets for this all-ages event go on sale Friday, February 2nd at 10 am 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.

Alexisonfire’s George Pettit states:

“Born & Raised is back! 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.

2022’s inaugural Born & Raised featured four electric nights of music, food, and drink, attracting tens of thousands of fervent fans to St. Catharines’ Montebello Park. The festival included memorable performances from Sam Roberts Band, Broken Social Scene, Billy Talent, NOBRO, Moneen, PUP, and more. Now back with a vengeance and by immensely popular demand, Alexisonfire, alongside City and Colour, Dine Alone Records, and Live Nation, are once again, bringing the music back to where it all started.

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