In 2022, we were back in full force

With a brand new location and a shiny new Container Village, we brought the Festival back to Uptown Saint John in 2022. Headliners for our biggest event yet included Arkells, Sloan, k‑os, Mother Mother, and we even had our first sold out night with The Glorious Sons, The Trews and JJ Wilde. 

2021 kicked off our Waterfront Concert Series

We had a summer-long celebration on the waterfront with the best of Atlantic Canadian talent, including a comedy show with James Mullinger and Nikki Payne and musical performances included Alan Doyle, Classified, Bahamas, Jimmy Rankin, Ria Mae, Measha Brueggergosman, and Matt Mays.

This was a year to remember. 

Sloan rocked the stage as one of our headliners, along with City & Colour and Interpol! Other performers included New Brunswick’s own The Hypochondriacs and Jamie Comeau & the Crooked Teeth.

2018 was such an energetic year! 

Headliners included The Glorious Sons and July Talk. Other performers who graced the stage (and rocked it) included Big Wreck, The New Pornographers, and Tomato/​Tomato.

Local artists including

The Hypochondriacs and Mike Biggar were familiar faces on the Main Stage. This ground-shaking lineup also included headliners The Strumbellas, Tegan & Sara and David Myles, just to name a few.

2016 was the first year of the AREA 506 Festival, 

and we had some awesome performers. Headliners included Grace Potter, Matt Andersen & The Bona Fide, Big Sugar, and more.
