Massif is now accepting band submissions for Massif 2023, taking place Sept. 22 and 23 in Nelson, BC! The deadline to apply is March 31, so don’t procrastinate!
Massif 2023 Submissions Are OPEN!
Massif Thanks Nelson Brewing Company!
Nelson Brewing Company has been a supporter, sponsor and main presenter of Massif since its inception, and we’re delighted to continue that tradition of partnership in 2022! The organic ales NBC produces are as much a product of Nelson as the talent that Massif focuses on—homegrown, bold and with a nod to our wonderful subculture.
Massif will feature two beers from NBC this year: the Valhalla Pale Ale and the brand-new Loki Lager.
The Valhalla Pale Ale is a well-balanced organic hazy pale ale. Notes of tropical fruit, papaya and mango from the Mosaic, Simcoe and Citra dry hops. Malted wheat and oats give this beer its smooth, creamy mouthfeel. It finishes with hints of sweet malt and caramel, giving it that balanced backbone.
Brewed in the Queen City to be the queen of beers, the Loki Lager is easy drinking epitomized. A classic craft lager reimagined to be as epic as its namesake. It’s crisp, it’s clean and it tastes like beer should. Low-key but unforgettable.
We are thankful for NBC’s support and continued partnership! Come enjoy a brew at Massif this year or go grab one now!
Massif Thanks Packrat Annie’s and Bandwidth Records!
Packrat Annie’s and Bandwidth Records are the gateways to Massif through ticket acquisition. Be it old-school analog paper tickets or digital passes bought online, they provide the portals into Massif. Thank you, Packwidth…um, Bandrat…you know what we mean!
Meet a Massif 2022 Band: Kinski!
Esteemed Kill Rock Stars post-punk noise thrill seekers Kinski come to us from Seattle and promise to deliver the warm, fuzzed-out, overdrive sound that will shake us all like the dying leaves from the biggest tree in the first autumn storm. Their legendary Massif 2018 performance only whetted our appetites. Brace yourselves.
If Kinski’s website doesn’t sate you, lavish your ears on Bandcamp, and send love poems on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Massif Thanks No. 6 Coffee!
Rise and shine, fellow headbangers! Feeling a little slow on the draw? Pour yourself a cup of No. 6 Coffee! This potent Nelson brew has perked up Massif performers for years, and they’ll have that pep in their step again in 2022. Thank you, No. 6 Coffee!
Massif Thanks Tonik Distillery!
Flowing out of the Slocan Valley, Tonik Distillery will provide a change of pace at Massif with three delicious varieties of their vodka sodas. Sometimes you just need a crisp, locally distilled, low sugar, high flavor alternative. Thank you, Tonik!
Massif Thanks Ashman’s!
Ashman’s Smash Burgers has followed the example of its compatriots in the Victoria Street food corner of Nelson and is raising the food options for Massif performers and fans to new heights. Tacos, pizza and now burgers—the holy trinity is complete. Thank you, Ashman’s!
Massif Thanks the Adventure Hotel!
Waking up refreshed on a beautiful morning in Nelson is peak Kootenays—and an everyday occurrence when you stay at the Adventure Hotel. Massif’s traveling bands will sleep well after a night of entertaining the masses, and the Adventure Hotel is perfectly located just around the corner from the Eagles Lodge. Thank you, Adventure Hotel!
Massif Thanks Thor’s Pizzeria!
The exertion of rocking out can leave your energy low—and that’s where Thor’s Pizzeria comes in! Thor’s has given a lift to Massif bands and fans every year, and they’re once again providing mouth-watering, incredibly satisfying pizza to our performers. Head over to Thor’s between bands to grab a slice—or go get one right now!
Meet a Massif 2022 Band: Black Blood of the Earth!
If the earth is screaming, then the thrash metal emerging from Black Blood of the Earth is the bloodline of all that rocks. Hailing from Salmo and Nelson, BBOTE deliver big, fast riffs and promise to rip it up and then lay it to rest. Amen.
Go to church on Bandcamp and sing their praises on Instagram and Facebook.
