After years of silence, Loon Choir returns with new music, marking the beginning of a bold new chapter for the Ottawa-based collective. Their 5th full length record and their first since 2019, is called CLASS WAR FAIR and is out Feb 28th, 2026. The band confronts themes of injustice and destruction while offering hope rooted in shared humanity and creative resilience. The Loons’ live performances are a celebration of connection, delivering sincere and high-energy experiences filled with catchy riffs, transcendent harmonies and contagious beats that transform any room into a movement. After years of writing and recording, the band is eager to reconnect with audiences and communities, reclaiming our voices in art and in solidarity.
