Burt Block Party

The Burt Block Party transforms Winnipeg's iconic Burton Cummings Theatre into a four-night celebration of rock and roll in all its glorious forms. From August 13–16, 2026, this multi-day festival brings together some of the most electrifying acts in rock — spanning heavy metal fury, sun-soaked indie pop, and timeless alternative anthems — all under one legendary roof. Whether you grab a multiday pass or pick your perfect night, this is Winnipeg's must-attend rock event of the summer. Kick things off Thursday, August 13 with a thunderous opening salvo as Killswitch Engage headline alongside the relentless Machine Head and rising heavyweights Malevolence — a dream bill for fans of crushing riffs and arena-shaking intensity. Friday, August 14 shifts the energy with Burt Block Party welcoming The Beaches and Lights for a night that blends indie charm with vibrant, hook-laden rock. Then close out the weekend on Sunday, August 16 with Canadian legends Collective Soul joined by 54-40 and Paul Langlois for an anthemic night of songs that defined a generation. The Burton Cummings Theatre — Winnipeg's beloved historic concert hall — provides an intimate yet grand backdrop that makes every show feel both epic and personal. With a lineup this diverse and a venue this storied, the Burt Block Party promises unforgettable nights, raw energy, and the kind of live music memories that last a lifetime. Secure your multiday pass or single-night tickets before they're gone.
