Lemon Bucket Orkestra. 15 years. A party. A tour. THE KITCHENER STOP

TICKET LINK

Sept 20 2025

Doors 8pm

Adv $30 / Door $40

We've been screaming folked-up ballads through busted megaphones for 15 years now (!)... you've seen us in parks and street corners, festivals and dive bars, performing arts centres and raves...

And y'all know we don't shy away from celebration, so we're bringing the LBO experience to Kitchener Ontario at the legendary The Hub, one of Kitchener's most epic venues. Kitchener, you’ve seen us rock weddings, outdoor fests, and park parties over the years, but this time we’re kicking off our own party tour through your city.

It's gonna be a vibe y'all. We're gonna sing arm in arm in languages we don't speak. We're gonna punch the sky till the gray clouds cower (the lemon bucket work out). We're gonna kolo till we spiral out of control. We're gonna move it, move it till we get some satisfaction... We're gonna send you out into the streets to scream peace, peace, peace...

Dot dot dot...

🔥 Lemon Bucket Orkestra: Equal parts exhilarating precision and reckless abandon, Lemon Bucket are Toronto’s original guerrilla-folk-party-punks—an award-winning, 10-piece juggernaut that has torn up stages and streets around the globe for over 15 years.

LBO live is a truly immersive experience mixing sweat and tears with audience chorales and howling at the moon. Their sound is signature Lemon Bucket: Ukrainian polyphony and Balkan rhythms driven through a whirlwind of hip hop, punk, jazz, and raw power—born from their eclectic global journeys and the rich, polycultural tapestry of their hometown.

🗞 The New York Times calls them:

“Frenetic, charismatic, and gloriously anarchic.”

LBO has performed at WOMAD (UK & NZ), Pohoda (Slovakia), Festival d’Été (Québec City), and New Orleans Jazz Fest, among many others. Bringing people of all backgrounds on journey that is “Amazing, frenetic, gloriously anarchic and ultimately joyous!” – Winnipeg Free Press. 

Their newest album, Cuckoo (May 2024), captures that energy: a bold, genre-smashing exploration of diaspora, purpose, and musical resistance.

🎶 The Klezmatics: Transforming Klezmer, Redefining Boundaries

The Klezmatics are Grammy-winning klezmer superstars who revolutionized Yiddish music. Emerging from New York City’s East Village in 1986, they infused traditional Eastern European Jewish sounds with bold contemporary themes like human rights, queer identity, and anti-fundamentalism. Their music fuses klezmer with jazz, Latin, Balkan, Middle Eastern, and African influences, making the genre radically relevant to new generations.

For nearly four decades, The Klezmatics have led the global Jewish music renaissance. Their achievements include 13 acclaimed albums, world tours on five continents, and collaborations with legends such as Itzhak Perlman, Arlo Guthrie, Chava Alberstein, Natalie Merchant, Tony Kushner, Joshua Nelson, and Allen Ginsberg. They remain the only klezmer band to win a Grammy, honored in 2006 for Wonder Wheel: Lyrics by Woody Guthrie.

Their music has appeared in film, theater, and TV (from A Dybbuk and PBS’s Great Performances to Sex and the City), and they’ve graced iconic stages including Carnegie Hall, WOMAD, Yidstock, and Yiddish Summer Weimar.

🗞 Time Out New York raves:

“The Klezmatics aren’t just the best band in the klezmer vanguard; on a good night, they can rank among the greatest bands on the planet.”

In 2025, The Klezmatics mark their 40th anniversary with the tour and forthcoming album New York Sessions—their first new studio album in nearly a decade, performed live before it’s released.

💿 All tour proceeds directly support the album’s recording.

🌍 No matter how crazy the world gets, music unites.

On October 4, two legendary bands from Canada and the U.S. share a stage for the first time ever—in a celebration of culture, chaos, memory, and movement.

🎟️ One night only. Don’t miss it.
