Supercrawl organizers have unveiled the musical lineup for the 2024 free festival weekend, taking place September 13-15, 2024 along James Street North in downtown Hamilton, Ontario, made possible by presenting sponsor TD Bank Group (TD).

The lineup reveal took place at Merit Brewing, an innovative craft brewery in downtown Hamilton near the heart of Supercrawl’s festival corridor. The launch unveiled programming details and celebrated the return of the festival to its traditional neighbourhood corridor for its 16th anniversary season.

Supercrawl’s Festival Director Tim Potocic offered up an early taste of this fall’s festival for those in attendance. As revealed at the launch, this year’s edition of Supercrawl will feature more than 30 musical acts.

“We’re thrilled to bring Supercrawl to audiences every fall,” Potocic said. “Each season is a total pleasure to curate. We started this festival to spotlight creative talent and it’s always just so great to be able to bring this weekend to life every year. It’s something we look to just as much as audiences do. And none of it would be possible without the support of our partners, and of course our incredible creative community. Supercrawl’s core commitment is to artists and makers, and to spotlighting the role of culture and creativity in animating and enriching all our lives. We’re very excited by this lineup and look forward to seeing you all again on James North this September.”
