Saturday, May 30th Victoria BC Ska & Reggae Society is excited to bring back Brooklyn NY's ska/reggae kings THE SLACKERS to Victoria at Studio 919 (formerly Wicket Hall). The last time The Slackers came to BC in 2024 we celebrated the 25th Anniversary of the Victoria Ska & Reggae Festival. Tickets on sale Monday, January 12th at 10am PT on Ticketweb.ca!
Through The Slackers' mixed repertoire of music ranging from ska and reggae to soul, R&B, folk, and bossa nova they've managed to capture fans that span the spectrum of music with audiences of all ages. The band also plays with an aggressive edge and their songs veer in themes from the personal to the political. Since forming in 1991, the Slackers have released 16 albums, 5 EPs, and countless singles. They have performed thousands of energetic concerts for their global fanbase and remain unstoppably prolific. In their 2025 releases on Pirates Press Records, the EP “Money is King,” an indictment of the powerful as only the Slackers can do, went straight to the top 25 of the Submodern Reports album list. Their single “My Last Star” was a tribute to Hepcat's Greg Lee, fulfilling the final creative vision of the late singer. The 11-track compilation “Lost and Found Vol.2” had a surprise boogaloo breakout streaming hit with “Diskambobulated.”
Now after 27 years of working with the Slackers, Victoria BC Ska & Reggae Society is excited to continue the tradition of Slackers music for future generations.
