Canadian rockers Arkells wrapped-up their ‘Big Feelings’ tour on Saturday, November 30, 2024 at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium.
“Best way to finish the tour,” the band posted on social media, alongside a video of the Kitchener show.
Photographer Kevin Metcalfe was at the show for SWOMP and captured these photos:
Hailed by The Globe and Mail as “the right kind of band for this decade,” Arkells are widely considered one of the most passionate, exuberant and in-demand live bands working today.
They are the 2023 recipients of the JUNO Award for “Group of the Year”– making them the most decorated act in the category, having won the honour more than any other group.
As radio mainstays, sports-sync shoe-ins and curious students of culture, Arkells have remained ever present – building awareness and personal community experiences around their live shows and albums at every turn.
The band’s most recognizable material aims to be spirited and anthemic, and there’s been no shortage of new music from Arkells over the last few years.
