Born Ruffians, Basia Bulat, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Steve Strongman, TOBi, and Donovan Woods Will Headline Award-Winning Multi-Arts Fest September 12-14, Presented by TD Bank Group

(Hamilton, ON)  Supercrawl organizers today unveiled the epic musical lineup for the free festival component of Supercrawl 2025. The award-winning multi-arts event, presented by TD Bank Group, will take place September 12-14, 2025 along James Street North in downtown Hamilton, Ontario.

Supercrawl’s Festival Director Tim Potocic previewed the coming festival season for those in attendance at a launch event held at multi-arts event space Mills Hardware. This year’s edition of Supercrawl features the most expansive roster of musical talent the festival has ever showcased, including local, regional, national and international talents — 65 acts in all, on three stages along a kilometre of James North.

“Collaboration with great artists and musicians has been central to Supercrawl since we started,” Potocic said. “When we did, the idea that we would one day be producing our 17th annual festival season seemed like a distant dream. Community support and creative collaboration has made that dream real, and in our 17th year it’s a pleasure to present our biggest musical lineup yet. We hope that the community and folks from across Canada join us as we celebrate the arts this September.”

Headliners and direct support at Supercrawl 2025 will be Born Ruffians, Basia Bulat, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Steve Strongman, TOBi, and Donovan Woods.
