Guilt Trip

Guilt Trip will play TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht on October 21, 2026. The Canadian band, formed in 1997 in Calgary, moves between pop-punk and alternative rock, seeking a balance of tempo, melody and a rough edge. Think compact songs that hit straightaway, guitars that keep a tight rhythm and choruses you’ll know after just one listen. No frills, just focus: direct, energetic and with enough dynamics to get the room moving.

On stage, Guilt Trip is all about momentum and tension: short arcs of build-up, smart transitions and a rhythm section that holds everything together while the guitars spread wide. The vocals remain melodic but allow grit and urgency, sitting precisely on the border where pop-punk and alt-rock meet. You can hear their years of experience in the way the band builds, releases and tightens the songs without overloading them.

In Utrecht this comes together in a set that foregrounds the core of their sound: catchy hooks, hefty riffs and a crisp drive. An evening for fans of forward-driving guitars and melodies that linger, with Guilt Trip at the helm.
