Event Details

Event type: All Ages / Licensed

Get ready to dust off your skinny jeans and re-live the golden era of the Warped Tour at Chatham Ribfest 2025! This special "Punk, Alternative, and Emo Night" brings a high-octane soundtrack to Tecumseh Park, featuring two of Ontario’s most electric tribute acts. Strike Tyson, hailed as the province's premier pop-punk and emo cover band, will headline the night with anthems from Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, and Paramore. Joining them is 89 NEXT, an energetic powerhouse dedicated to the alternative radio hits of the 90s and 2000s, ensuring every nostalgic rock fan finds a reason to hit the mosh pit.
More than just a concert, this evening is a vital fundraiser for Music for the Mind, a Chatham-Kent project dedicated to removing financial barriers to local mental health services. Proceeds from the event will support essential programs like Family Service Kent, which provides low-cost counseling, and the KIDS Team Program, which funds psychological assessments for children in need. Come for the world-class ribs and stay for the raw energy of live music, all while supporting a cause that ensures no one in our community has to fight their mental health battles alone.
