🚨🚨 FIRST WAVE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR ALT WAVES 2026 IS HERE!!! 🚨🚨
We miss you all and can't wait to show you what's up for Alt Waves this year! The temps are rising, greens going to be coming back soon and Alt Waves as always, is the perfect start to a great summer!! We are super stoked to present to you.....
Formed in Orange County, California, Ignite are hardcore veterans known for blending melodic riffs with intensity. The band built a global following through relentless touring and anthemic records like Our Darkest Days... with soaring choruses and driving riffs, IGNITE remain one of the most respected names in modern melodic hardcore.
Hailing from Vancouver and leading the charge of upcoming Canadian punk bands, The Corps deliver fast, hook-driven skate punk with sharp songwriting and high-energy live shows. Drawing from classic ’90s skate punk while keeping a fresh, modern edge, the band has earned a reputation for wildly tight musicianship and crowd crushing sets that hit hard and don’t let up.
Built in the fire of Germany's punk and metal underground Straightline fuse thrash intensity with punk urgency, creating a blistering hybrid that’s both technical and explosive. Known for lightning-fast riffs, aggressive vocals, and relentless drumming, Straightline have carved out a name across Europe’s hardcore and thrash scenes with a sound that’s as precise as it is punishing.
