Ottawa Explosion Weekend announces first wave of bands for 2018 (The White Wires, Martha, Peach Kelli Pop)

The White Wires are set to play Ottawa Explosion Weekend this June.

The Ottawa Explosion Weekend returns to the nation’s capitol June 13-17 for its eighth edition, and organizers have just revealed the first names set to play at Ottawa’s annual punk blow-out.

Beloved Ottawa power-trio The White Wires will return from semi-hibernation for the festival, which will also feature a set from Peach Kelli Pop (fronted by White Wires drummer Allie Hanlon), along with U.K. pop-punk outfit Martha.



Ticketing info for the fest is still TBA — stay tuned to ottawaexplosion.com for updates. In the meantime, check out videos from all three announced bands below.
