Turn It Up! Live Music at Hope Brigade Days 2026

Hope Brigade Days is turning up the volume for 2026!

From bluegrass in the afternoon and classic rock favourites to one of our biggest headliner concerts ever, September 11–13 is packed with live music in Hope, BC.

This year’s lineup is led by Canadian rock powerhouse Finger Eleven, but that’s only part of the story. We’ve got music happening throughout the weekend, including Coast To Coast, Jeff Scroggins & Friends, and the return of one of our favourite Brigade Days traditions — Appaloosa!

Here’s what’s playing.

Friday, September 11

5:00 PM – 7:00 PM — Jeff Scroggins & Friends

Kick off Brigade Days weekend with live music from Jeff Scroggins & Friends. It’s a great soundtrack for Friday evening as the fairgrounds come alive with Food Truck Alley, the midway, Briggie Bazaar and everything else happening around the festival.

9:00 PM – Midnight — OMH Presents: Appaloosa with Robert Rowan

Ken James Rip-Off Saloon

After Jump Your Junk wraps up in the Motorsports Bowl, the party moves into the Ken James Rip-Off Saloon! Appaloosa with Robert Rowan takes the stage from 9:00 PM until midnight for a high-energy Friday night show.

Appaloosa has been a Brigade Days favourite for years, and we couldn’t imagine the weekend without them.

Saturday, September 12

1:30 PM – 7:00 PM — Jeff Scroggins & Friends – Bluegrass Music

Saturday afternoon brings hours of live bluegrass to the festival with Jeff Scroggins & Friends.

Grab something from Food Truck Alley, explore the midway and Briggie Bazaar, and enjoy live music throughout the afternoon before we turn things WAY up for Saturday night.

Saturday Night: Coast To Coast + Finger Eleven

This is the big one.

The Sports & Entertainment Bowl becomes a rock concert Saturday night with an incredible double bill leading into our late-night Saloon party.

7:00 PM – 8:00 PM — Coast To Coast

We’re starting the night with Coast To Coast, a Vancouver-based hard rock tribute band bringing the sound of Scorpions and classic arena rock to Hope.

Expect big guitars, soaring vocals and songs you know and love. Coast To Coast is the perfect band to get the crowd jacked up and ready for Finger Eleven.

8:30 PM – 10:00 PM — FINGER ELEVEN

Then it’s time for our headliner.

Canadian rock giants Finger Eleven take over the Sports & Entertainment Bowl at 8:30 PM for what we expect to be one of the biggest concert nights in Brigade Days history.

With a career spanning decades and massive songs including “Paralyzer” and “One Thing,” Finger Eleven has become one of Canada’s most recognizable rock bands.

Seeing them live, outdoors, surrounded by the mountains in Hope is going to be something special.

10:00 PM — Laser Show

When Finger Eleven finishes, don’t go anywhere! The concert will be followed immediately by our 10:00 PM Laser Show.

And then...

10:00 PM – Midnight — OMH Presents: Appaloosa

Ken James Rip-Off Saloon

The music keeps going!

Head into the Ken James Rip-Off Saloon where Appaloosa takes over from 10:00 PM until midnight. That means you can go from Coast To Coast → Finger Eleven → Laser Show → Appaloosa without calling it a night.

Sunday, September 13

1:00 PM – 5:00 PM — Jeff Scroggins & Friends – Bluegrass Music

Derby Day gets its own soundtrack with another afternoon of bluegrass from Jeff Scroggins & Friends. They’ll be performing from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM while the fairgrounds are buzzing with Sunday activities and motorsports action.

5:30 PM – 7:00 PM — OMH Presents: Appaloosa with Robert Rowan

Ken James Rip-Off Saloon

And there’s only one way we could finish Brigade Days.

After an afternoon of Demolition Derby action, Appaloosa with Robert Rowan returns to the Ken James Rip-Off Saloon from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM for one final show and the perfect send-off to Brigade Days 2026.
