Arkells with Valley and Portugal. The Man

Valley is a Canadian alternative pop band from Toronto, formed in 2014. Comprising Rob Laska, Alex Dimauro, and Karah James, their music blends indie pop and pop rock with anthemic, cinematic sounds. Known for hits like "Like 1999," they released their album "Water the Flowers, Pray for a Garden" in 2024, which earned a 2025 Juno nomination. The group has garnered over a billion global streams and is recognized for their energetic live performances.

The heartfelt journey of loss and healing after the passing of dear friend Chris Black in 2019 highlights his vital role in bringing people together, inspiring a deeply personal record.

Arkells are a heavily rotated radio band and record holders for the JUNO Award Group of the Year. They’ve reached pop culture via global sports telecasts and video games, and played festivals including Coachella and Bonnaroo.
