VELD (Toronto)

Canada's flagship big-room EDM festival; massive mainstage production and a top-tier headliner lineup in the heart of Toronto every summer.

Shambhala (Salmo, BC)

The legendary off-grid camping festival on a BC farm — no corporate sponsors, world-class sound systems, and a fiercely loyal community.

Chasing Summer (Calgary)

Alberta's biggest EDM weekend, typically early August — multiple stages and a strong bass/house lineup for the western crowd.

Bass Coast (Merritt, BC)

Boutique art-and-bass camping festival celebrated for its installations, curation, and intimate scale.

Electric Island (Toronto)

Daytime house and techno on the Toronto Islands; tastemaker bookings and a scenic waterfront setting make it a connoisseur favourite.

MUTEK (Montreal)

The cerebral pick: a festival of digital creativity and electronic art that pairs cutting-edge audio with immersive visuals.

Igloofest (Montreal)

Outdoor winter raving on the Old Port waterfront — dancing in sub-zero temps in snowsuits is the whole legendary point.
