The Plastic Waste Band

Wed, Jun 24, 2026
Main Stage
Confederation Park

The Plastic Waste Band is an experimental rock band born from the jazz community of Montreal, Canada. This is a band in the truest sense: longtime collaborators who fly into psychedelic group improvisations on the wings of finely tuned compositions. Electric guitars, soaring saxophone, thumping acoustic bass, and big drums evoke Led Zeppelin crashing a gig with the John Coltrane Quartet.

Due for release in spring 2026, Trash Island is their third and most ambitious album to date. Envisioning a future where all of humanity lives on a floating island of trash, the album showcases the band’s signature irreverence, supported by high-level musicianship. Listen and feel release from the doomsday prophecies of our generation.
