Music 4 Cancer 2024 was an amazing spectacle
The annual Music 4 Cancer festival that takes place in Sainte-Therese, a small Quebec town just outside of Laval, every year continues to grow with each edition – and as it does, so does the awareness for its cause.
Music 4 Cancer is a charity music festival that raises awareness – and funds – to fight cancer through punk rock. Bringing international artists, as well as local acts, to the region for three nights of loud music and good times.

Following an impressive performance last year by bands such as Rancid, Gob and a plethora of others, the stages this year welcomed the likes of The Dropkick Murphys, The Bouncing Souls, Raised Fist, H20 and a whole lot more.
This year, an estimated five hundred kids were among the crowds that gathered over the three days, at what has always been an incredibly family friendly affair. Making this event a great way to introduce kids to live music while also teaching them why we all gather at this spot year after year. For the cause! We do it for the cause!
While weren’t able to attend the first night of the festival, we were in attendance for the second and third days – and we have an abundance of photographs to prove it. So, we thought we’d share those with everyone.
This gallery contains photos of most of the bands that played Friday and Saturday – but not all. Sometimes we eat too, which means missing sets. Or we get stuck in the beer lines, trying to score some Pina Colada’s from Distellerie Du Quai. They sold out and we definitely had a hand in helping that happen!
Have a look – maybe you’ll see yourself within these photographs. Be sure to share so that your friends might see themselves too!

Music 4 Cancer is so much more than live music. More than a charity doing great things for its community and to help raise vital funds needed for Cancer research even. It’s a chance for everyone that has had their lives impacted by this dreadful disease to reflect on those they’ve lost or on those close to them that are currently fighting cancer.
Sadly, all of us know somebody that has been inflected by cancer in one way or another.
Fuck cancer.
