KDays is back and better than ever, and the 2025 music lineup is the kind of thing summer memories are made of. Whether you’re vibing with your partner, rounding up friends, or planning a night out with the fam, the KDays Mainstage offers ten straight nights of high-energy, live music; and it’s all included with general admission.
From alt-rock legends to iconic boy bands, to soulful singer-songwriters, there’s something for everyone. Want to upgrade the experience? Grab a Front & Centre Fan Zone ticket for upfront views, private bars, and washrooms (trust us, it’s worth it for date night).
Here’s what’s on deck this year; plus a few ideas for making the most of each night:
July 18: Bad Religion
Punk rock your heart out! Kick off the festival with a high-energy set from these icons. Perfect for longtime fans or a throwback group night with your coolest friends.
July 19: Tom Morello
Rage Against the Machine’s guitar wizard takes the stage solo. Bring your music-loving partner for a night of riffs, politics, and power.
July 20: USS w/ Vissia
USS always brings the party—quirky, catchy, and high-energy. Pair it with midway snacks and call it the ultimate casual date night.
July 21: July Talk w/ Violet Night
Moody, magnetic, and full of chemistry, just like your situationship? A great pick for date night with a little edge (or catharsis).
July 22: Jazzy B w/ Chani Nattan & Inderpal
A must for lovers of Punjabi music! Expect bold fashion, big beats, and serious crowd energy. Go with family, friends, or a community crew.
July 23: Marianas Trench w/ Hotel Mira
Pop-rock meets theatrical vibes. This one’s ideal for a group singalong under the stars (yes, screaming the lyrics counts as bonding).
July 24: Jade Eagleson w/ Drew Gregory
Cowboy hats welcome! A classic country night with slow-dance potential. Bring your boots and your date for a little two-steppin’.
July 25: Walk Off The Earth w/ Gabriella Bee
Family-friendly and full of fun, this is your night to bring the kids, nieces, or younger siblings. A wholesome group hang with a side of bubbles and catchy covers.
July 26: G-Eazy
For the cool kids. G-Eazy’s sleek hip-hop vibe makes this an electric night for friend groups and late-night date vibes alike.
July 27: 98 Degrees w/ Tea G
End KDays with a throwback to peak boy band era. Grab your girls, your mom, or your 90s-loving bae for a night of sweet harmonies and nostalgic slow jams.
Bonus Beats: The CKUA Radio Stage
If you’re looking to discover something new, or catch music between main stage sets – make your way to the CKUA Radio Stage. It’s a dynamic mix of genres and cultures, from blues legends like Tom Lavin & The Legendary Powder Blues, to Francophone artists, and powerful Indigenous voices. It’s a beautiful way to connect with Alberta’s musical roots (and a lowkey spot to chill during the day).
Whether you’re planning a first date, a family outing, or a crew night out, KDays 2025 is packed with musical moments worth showing up for. And with free concerts included in general admission, you’ve got no excuse not to dance a little. See the full schedule at KDays.com
