Secret Show: October 2, 2025
Join us at 7:00PM EST on Thursday, October 2nd for a special concert welcoming back two secret artists to KW from afar.
The event will be held live at Den 1880 in Uptown Waterloo, fully in-person. Space is limited. The show will feature an artist who last graced our stage in 2023 — Juno-nominated, Polaris Prize shortlisted, and so beautifully unique in their art.
There will be a curated selection of craft beer and drinks available for purchase from this show's venue — cash and card accepted.
All door revenue will be split amongst the performing artists and our production crew.
Artists will remain secret until the show begins... but you're welcome to take a guess.
