What is DEMO FEST?
-
A fundraiser for Solidarity Across Borders / Solidaridad sin fronteras / Solidarité sans frontières (SAB), a Montreal-based migrant justice network.
-
A motivator to encourage punks to complete new recordings in the Fall, giving us all the gift of new music as we enter the darkest and coldest months of winter.
Punks spent October and November recording a new demo's worth of music and submitted it to us.
The deadline to submit was December 1st (er, December 10th).
On the Winter Solstice (Sunday December 21st, 2025), all the demos were released at 2025.DEMO-FEST.org
All funds raised are going directly to Montreal-based migrant justice organization Solidarity Across Borders / Solidaridad sin fronteras / Solidarité sans frontières (SAB). They provide direct mutual aid to migrants in Montreal and support to those facing deportation, as well organize broader social campaigns in the fight towards Status For All!
If you got here and arn't really into music, but want to support SAB in their mission, you set up a one-time or recurring donation using the button below:
