All Time Halifax Punk Hardcore Show List - 2010 - Present day!

OK here go with the 2010s! All the way up to present day. The 2010s started off with the Pavilion being the main all ages venue. But the Sad Rad/Radstorm popped up as true DIY venue. The Pavilion closed at the end of the decade and has now been torn down. Random spots like Stillwell and The Bus Stop have shows currently. Gus' Pub and the Seahorse remained the main bar venues. Of course there was a big lull in shows around 2020/2021 due to COVID but things have come back since then!

This is the end of this project, but I'll continue to update as I find more missing shows, posters, photos, videos, etc. Post in the comments if you see any errors or missing shows! Cheers!!

All Time Halifax Punk Hardcore Show List - 2000's!

Here we go with the new millennium! The Pavilion is going strong at first but then shuts down, which makes for some odd venues. Ceilidh Connection takes over for a bit, but it's really not a good venue. TKO and The Kyhber are doing shows. The Pavilion bounces back and holds on strong for the rest of the decade. The Seahorse and the Attic are the main venues for bar shows.

All Time Halifax Punk Hardcore Show List - 1990's!

Here we go with some shows from the 1990s. Lots of stuff missing or errors here so feel free to add shows/correct things in the comments. Will add more as I get to it! Sources have been old fliers, Setlist.fm, Nova Scotia Gig Poster Archive on Facebook, old Facebook events, and the Backstreets Facebook page.

The 90's started off with bar shows mainly at the Pub Flamingo on Barrington St. All ages shows were scattered around the Casino Theatre, North St Church, Camaros’/Uptown Theatre and Dal SUB until ‘93 when Cafe Ole opened. Cafe Ole really ushered in a new era and tons of bands formed around that time. Bar shows transferred over to the Double Deuce around that time as well. This was replaced by Birdland and The Khyber. The Marquee started up around 98.

Cafe Ole closed down in ‘97 (thanks Neptune Theatre!), but that made way for the Pavilion in 98, which carried on the tradition to end off the decade. This is when hardcore and metalcore started poppin off.
