Riot Night
Wednesday, July 29, 2026
7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Supermarket Bar and Variety
Kensington Market's indie staple Supermarket Bar turns up the volume for Riot Night, a showcase of heavy alternative music organized by Metalworks Institute students. Featuring an aggressive lineup including Time of Death, Viscaira, and Second Hand Trio, this gig is a celebration of Toronto's grassroots heavy music community.
Expect roaring guitars, driving double-bass drums, and a high-octane atmosphere packed into one of the city's favorite independent venues. Beyond the stellar local talent on display, the event serves as a hands-on production showcase for emerging live-event professionals.
What to Expect - Live underground rock, metal, and alternative acts up close. - An intimate, high-energy environment right in the heart of Kensington Market. - A great excuse to grab a pint and support local student-run music production.
Head into Kensington early to explore the neighbourhood's food stalls or grab a drink along Augusta Avenue before doors open at 7:00 PM.
