The Lineup

Midnight Rider (4:30–5:45 PM)

Hometown blues-rockers Midnight Rider kick things off with gritty Texas-style riffs, soulful vocals, and a rhythm section that won’t quit. Think classic rock swagger with a modern edge.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard (6:15–7:30 PM)

Next, take a sonic voyage with Captain Jean-Luc Picard. This versatile band covers everything from classic rock to modern hits, moving seamlessly from chill grooves to all-out anthems. Engage!

Headliner: BC/DC (8:00–9:45 PM)

Closing out the night is BC/DC, Canada’s ultimate AC/DC tribute. Born at a Ymir bush party back in ’99, they’ve since stormed stages across North America. Known for their explosive, no-holds-barred shows, BC/DC isn’t just a tribute band — they’re a full-on rock experience. Expect the hits, the power, and the kind of raw energy that makes you fall in love with rock all over again.

More than just music

Smokiepalooza is built for the whole community. Alongside the music, you’ll find:

• A beer garden for the adults
• A Kids Zone for the younger crowd
• Local food vendors to keep you fueled all night

Bring your family, your friends, and your best singing voice — this is Trail’s biggest party of the year.
