Igloofest Announces 2026 Dates for Montréal, Québec City, and Gatineau + Expansion to Edmonton

WHAT:

• Winter 2026 marks a historic milestone for Igloofest, as the iconic event expands beyond the province of Québec to bring its frosty magic across Canada. Renowned for transforming the coldest months of the year into a full-scale celebration of music, dance, and community, the festival will now take place in four major Canadian cities – with an additional market to be announced before the end of 2026.
• For over 15 years, Igloofest has embraced winter in all its intensity. What began as a Montréal tradition has become a defining Canadian ritual – bringing massive crowds together in freezing temperatures to dance beneath the stars, united by the heat of electronic music and shared joy.
• The 18th edition promises a wildly vibrant Igloofest, featuring an eclectic, high-caliber lineup of both local and international artists among the most sought-after names in global electronic music. To set the tone, two major acts are already confirmed for Igloofest Montréal: Belgian rap icon Hamza and the melodic, atmospheric sounds of Elderbrook (DJ Set).
• As Igloofest spreads across the country, it remains true to its DNA: a festive soul, a love of winter, and a distinctly Quebecois authenticity. The iconic colorful snowsuits and must-have Igloo toques will once again define the look of the dancefloor – because a winter without Igloofest simply isn’t winter at all.
