Featured Events in Kelowna in June, 2025 (June Updated)

KING THIEF (Edmonton, AB) A fast and fiery punk rock juggernaut, King Thief was born as a musical call to arms for Edmonton’s underground scene in 2019. The band developed their honest and melodic approach to dirty rock and roll riffery throughout the pandemic shutdown, blending notes of post hardcore and modern punk with underscores of 70s arena rock. Quickly recognized for their energy and technical facility, King Thief’s live performance is described as explosive and engaging – tight and raw, pure focussed energy. The gravelly delivery of Eric Nielson’s lyrics, often rooted in social justice, sit atop the punishing rhythm section that is Darren Chewka’s (Teenage Bottle Rocket, Old Wives) melodic drumming and Nick Kouremenos’ (This is a Standoff, Fire Next Time, Vargouille) bass mastery. Shawn Moncrieff (Choke) and Ryan Podlubny(ex-The Fullblast), both known for innovative and nuanced guitar playing, haunt listeners with adventurously rhythmic chording and inter-weaving lead-line crescendos. If nothing else, King Thief come by their innovative approach to creating art genuinely. The band has recently completed their debut, full length album, which was released on Thousand Islands records in Canada, Disconnect Disconnect records in the U.K and distributed in Europe through Bearded Punk records. IDIOFAME (Kelowna, BC) IDIOFAME is a melodic punk band from Kelowna, BC. They’re 5 guys who really like each other. Getting tubular since 2024, they've shared the stage with notable acts such as Calling All Captains, Moneen, and Chixdiggit! among others. DERAILLEUR (Okanagan Valley, BC) Derailleur is a melodic post-hardcore band from Western Canada, formed by members of Early Work.
