Music fans in Alberta who missed a recent major concert have a major summer event to look forward to. The organizers of the Pigeon Lake Music Festival have unveiled the lineup for the 2026 edition, set to feature iconic Canadian rock acts as headliners.
Star-Studded Main Stage Lineup
The festival, scheduled for July 31 to August 2, 2026, at Mulhurst Bay, will be topped by ‘90s rock stalwarts The Tea Party and Headstones. This announcement comes shortly after the two bands performed in Edmonton, offering a second chance for concert-goers to experience their hits in a scenic outdoor setting. Joining them at the top of the bill is the legendary Canadian band Chilliwack.
The supporting roster is packed with beloved Canadian talent. Fans can look forward to performances by rock favourites Northern Pikes and Sass Jordan, East Coast rapper Classified, and the eclectic Montreal collective Bran Van 3000.
Eclectic Mix of Supporting Artists
The festival’s eclectic programming extends beyond the main rock acts. The 2026 bill also includes electronic artist Coleman Hell, folk trio The East Pointers, the returning rock sound of Econoline Crush, Calgary singer-songwriter Devon Cole, and Ontario’s Cat Clyde, among others.
For attendees, early bird weekend passes are priced at $244.77 all-inclusive. For those preferring a single day, Friday night passes start at $80. On-site camping options will be available, with prices ranging from $80 to $180.
Late-Summer Concert Series Announced
In a separate announcement, the festival organizers also revealed the lineup for a late-August concert series. This weekend event, set for August 28-29, will feature headliners like the inventive Walk Off the Earth, ‘90s alt-rockers Everclear, and the pop-reggae sounds of Magic!.
That weekend will also include sets by The Blue Stones, Yukon Blonde, Valley, The Royal Foundry, and Illscarlet. Introductory pricing for this series is set at $160.15 for a weekend pass. Single-day tickets are $90.20 for Friday and $124.04 for Saturday.
