Comeback Kid, one of the most influential bands of the hardcore punk rock scene, is gearing up to celebrate two major milestones in 2025: the 20th-anniversary celebration of their groundbreaking album, ‘Wake The Dead’ and a remarkable 25 years together as a band.
In honor of these achievements, Comeback Kid is excited to announce a special anniversary show in their founding hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Set to take place at the legendary Burton Cummings Theatre on February 22, 2025, the hardcore punk icons will perform their career-defining record ‘Wake The Dead’ in its entirety for the first time ever, along with fan favourites from across their catalogue. Fans can look forward to classic tracks like the ‘blistering thunderous’ beloved title cut, ‘Wake The Dead’, the high energy ‘False Idols Fall’ and straight-up, high-octane banger ‘Talk is Cheap.’
Originally released on February 22nd, 2005, ‘Wake The Dead’ quickly became a defining moment in the band’s career and helped shape the sound of an entire era. Produced and recorded by Bill Stevenson, drummer of Descendents / ALL, at the iconic Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado, the record sold over 100,000 units, charted in the Top 20 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart, and has left an indelible mark, influencing countless bands and cementing its place as a pivotal work in the evolution of hardcore punk.
Celebrate this momentous occasion with Comeback Kid as they bring ‘Wake The Dead’ to life like never before. February 22nd, 2025 – Burton Cummings Theatre in Winnipeg!
