Info
On April 22, 2026 at Dickens in Calgary, Cancer Bats mark 20 years of Birthing the Giant with a set built around the record that kicked off their blend of hardcore punk, metal and sludge. Formed in Toronto, the band channels barked vocals, heavy riffs and sprinting tempos, shifting between bruising breakdowns and rock-leaning hooks; two decades on, those songs still carry the grit that shaped their live shows and later albums from Hail Destroyer to Psychic Jailbreak.
Anciients step in as special guests from Vancouver, bringing progressive metal that stretches into long-form riffs, doom-weighted grooves and melodic turns, moving from rough vocals to cleaner harmonies without losing drive.
Chastity, the project led by Brandon Williams out of Whitby, leans into a tense mix of punk, post-hardcore and indie guitars, pairing dense textures with direct melodies.
TEETH round out the bill.
