Supercrawl organizers on Thursday unveiled the musical lineup for this fall's free festival weekend, taking place Sept. 9-11 along James Street North in downtown Hamilton.
The organizers said in a news release that the lineup reveal took place at Bridgeworks, a new community hub and arts event space on the edge of Hamilton's Central Park that has served as home to many Supercrawl-produced events since it opened its doors in the autumn of 2020.
Supercrawl's Festival Director Tim Potocic screened a launch video and offered up a taste of this fall's festival for those in attendance.
This year's edition of Supercrawl will feature upwards of 40 musical acts, as well as a vibrant array of visual and performance artists.
Musical headliners will include the following:
"We're thrilled and energized to be returning to James North," Potocic said.
"Supercrawl's core commitment is to artists and makers, and we've always been strongly anchored in Hamilton's downtown, so this is definitely a milestone moment.
"The arts sustained a lot of people through a challenging couple of years, and that connection was a lifeline for many of us, so it's amazing to be able to celebrate artists again in this way — and to do so together, in person. We can't wait to see you all again this September," Potocic added.
Other musical artists announced include:
The launch unveiled programming details and celebrated the return of the festival to its traditional neighbourhood corridor for the first time since 2019.
Supercrawl 2022 will also feature an interactive residency from international post-industrial art rock performance troupe Squonk, who will bring their touring production "Hand to Hand" to the festival for shows on September 10 and 11.
Organizers say further lineup reveals such as arts, dance, fashion, theatre, authors and spoken word, vendors, food trucks, family, as well as detailed schedule information will follow in the weeks leading up to the festival.
