⚡️ LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE ⚡️ - Friday, September 25th, 2026
The last time Ottawa experienced Rage Against the Machine live was at Bluesfest in 2022.
System of a Down? They've never played Ottawa.
So what does that mean?
We're about to catch lightning in a bottle.
For one incredible night, Overflow Brewing Company is bringing together the music of two of the most explosive bands of the last 30 years.
🔥 Guerrilla Radio returns to Overflow after one of the most memorable tribute performances we've ever hosted. Widely regarded as one of Canada's premier Rage Against the Machine tribute acts, the band faithfully recreates the raw power and intensity that made RATM one of the greatest live bands of all time.
Featuring:
🎤 Neal Phadnis – Vocals
🎸 Chris Gagnon – Guitar
🎸 Sunil Achia – Bass
🥁 Mike Hogg – Drums
Together, these exceptional musicians don't just perform Rage Against the Machine—they channel the energy, musicianship, and attitude that made the band legendary. Expect massive performances of Killing in the Name, Bulls on Parade, Guerrilla Radio, Bombtrack, Testify, and more.
🔥 Sharing the stage is a brand-new tribute to System of a Down. They're so new they're still deciding on their official band name, but don't let that fool you. This project was assembled by lifelong SOAD fans and some of the region's most accomplished singers and musicians with one mission: to deliver the most authentic System of a Down experience possible.
Prepare yourself for explosive renditions of Chop Suey!, Toxicity, Aerials, B.Y.O.B., Sugar, Hypnotize, and many more.
This isn't just another tribute show.
It's two generations of revolutionary hard rock and metal brought together for one unforgettable night.
If you missed Rage Against the Machine in 2022—or you've always wished System of a Down had made it to Ottawa—this is as close as you're going to get.
⚡️ One stage. One night. Two legendary bands.
