A colossal double-bill paying tribute to 2 of the seminal post-punk acts of the 1980s.

FACTORY is a southern Ontario based tribute to NEW ORDER, Manchester’s critically acclaimed and highly influential musical innovators. From their post-punk roots in a post-Joy Division world to their complete embrace of electronica and dance music, from their mid-career dabblings in acid house to their return to form in the early 2000s, we celebrate it all.

THE QUEEN IS DEAD are a tribute to the iconic and highly influential Manchester band THE SMITHS. Based in Toronto, they have been curating and fine tuning a wide selection of the band’s poetic and wry humoured alternative rock that is sure to please any fan of The Smiths.

cost: $15 at Eventbrite – $20 at the door
