Arkells Announce The Rally, 2025
Arkells Announce The Rally, 2025 with Very Special Guests: Portugal. The Man, Valley, and Seago
You know summer is on its way when big concert announcements start coming in – and The Rally definitely qualifies!
For the third time, Arkells will host The Rally in Hamilton, ON when they take the stage at Hamilton Stadium on Saturday, June 21, 2025.
Billed as a festival, rather than simply a concert, the four-act show will take over the stadium, invigorate the city, increase GO Transit ridership to Hamilton for the day, and provide a whole lot of singing and dancing and moving and grooving. It’s a celebration. It’s a summer funfest. It’s going to be a whole lot of fun.
With supporting sets from Portugal. The Man, Valley, and Seago – this is more than just an opener and headliner concert. It’s a football stadium-sized festival. It’s gonna get loud and fun. Count on it.
Along with the fun, comes the good. And not just good times – real honest good. Arkells have teamed up with Plus 1 to donate $1 from every ticket sold to good causes. 2025’s organizations, selected by the band, are: Eva Rothwell Centre, Mission Services, and REFUGE Newcomer Health. And, on top of those donations, Arkells have pledged $10,000 donations to each of the three organizations. Lovely!
Tickets for The Rally go on-sale Friday, March 21 at 10am. BUT pre-sales start Tuesday, March 18 at 10am and go til Thursday, March 20 at 10pm – and if you want to sign up for that, you should go to arkellsmusic.com/therally.
Because we’ve been thinking about the show and writing about the show, we’re very excited for the show – but it’s three months away, and that’s too long. So here’s a playlist with songs from Arkells, Portugal. The Man, Valley and Seago that maybe we’ll hear in Hamilton at The Rally.
Hit play, hit shuffle, sing along, dance in the living room, do you.
See you in June!
