Billed as the "biggest old school punk fest in Canada," United Fest 2005 will take place on July 8th at Auditorium De Verdun in Montreal. As many as thirty bands are expected to appear on the event's three stages, including the Adicts, Conflict, Subhumans, Anti-Nowhere League, MDC, the Dickies, Citizen Fish, the Templars, Genetic Control, Bunchofuckingoofs, the Ripcordz, JerryCan, the Prowlers and Gutter Demons. The festival will also devote a stage to local acts, including bands like La Gachette, Barricade Mentale and Ab Irato. If successful the organizers expect to make United into an annual event.
