SUMMARY:Wassabi Collective 25-Year Reunion Tour with Shapes & DJ JChameleon
DESCRIPTION:Wassabi Collective\, the high-energy conscious reggae & organic electro funk group that became a cult-favourite across Canada’s festival circuit\, is officially back and bringing the heat to Ontario this summer. In celebration of their 25th anniversary\, the band is hitting the road. Wassabi Collective first turned heads in 2000 with their infectious blend of progressive world beats\, conscious reggae\, and high energy performances. After 12 years of relentless touring—including a standout performance at the 2010 Winter Olympics and features on PBS’ Roadtrip Nation—the band took a well-deserved hiatus. Now\, reunited and reignited\, Wassabi Collective made their triumphant comeback this spring with a high-voltage set at the World Ski & Snowboard Festival in Whistler. Their return continues to build momentum with a July appearance at Nova Scotia’s Relics Festival and now\, this just-announced Ontario tour. \nLed by powerhouse vocalist/percussionist Melissa Meretsky and frontman/guitarist Brent “Gisto” Hongisto\, the band continues to deliver a genre-bending mix of groove-heavy rhythms\, soul\, and pure joy. Whether you caught them in their legendary school-bus tours of the 2000s or you’re hearing them for the first time\, this is a rare chance to experience one of Canada’s most beloved underground live acts in their full\, funky glory. Don’t miss your chance to catch Wassabi Collective’s long-awaited return—fresh\, fiery\, and spicier than ever.
