Barnside Harvest Festival Unveils 2026 Lineup Led by Smash Mouth, Marianas Trench, Tom Cochrane and More
The 2026 edition of the Barnside Harvest Festival is shaping up to be its biggest yet. The Ladner festival has revealed a stacked three-day lineup featuring headliners Marianas Trench, JJ Wilde, Smash Mouth, Big Wreck, Tom Cochrane, and Kim Mitchell, returning to Paterson Park September 11–13.
Now entering its fourth year, the festival has grown into one of Metro Vancouver’s late-summer music staples, drawing nearly 80,000 attendees since launching in 2022. For 2026, organizers are raising the stakes with two headliners each night spread across three stages, mixing legacy acts, rising artists, and local favourites.
Friday night leans heavily into Canadian rock, led by Vancouver’s own Marianas Trench alongside breakout rocker JJ Wilde. The opening day bill also includes Hotel Mira, Fake Shark, Uncle Strut, The Peacenik Collective and more, setting up a strong hometown-heavy kickoff.
Saturday shifts into a genre-blending mix of rock, roots and country with Smash Mouth and Big Wreck topping the bill. It’s a pairing built for singalongs and big riffs, backed by a deep supporting lineup that includes The Washboard Union, Jake Vaadeland & the Sturgeon River Boys, Daniel Wesley, Jackson Hollow, Imogen Clark and others.
Sunday closes the weekend with two Canadian icons. Tom Cochrane and Kim Mitchell headline the final day, joined by The Grapes of Wrath, Limblifter, Kim Churchill, Leeroy Stagger, MIINA and more. It feels like a classic-rock victory lap with a modern indie undercurrent.
Beyond the music, Barnside is leaning even harder into the festival experience. The site will feature the return of the Vancity Artisan Market, Heritage Pavilion, food trucks, a family zone with farm-inspired activities, and the Tsawwassen Boundary Bay Lions Club charity barbecue.
Craft beer fans get their own spotlight Sunday with the BC Craft Beer Corner, featuring breweries from around the province alongside cider, wine, cocktails and Barnside Brewing pours. A festival named Barnside without beer would be a bit suspicious.
Programming runs across the Barnside Brewing Main Stage, Dueck Cadillac Stage and City of Delta Stage, with organizers saying this year’s lineup was shaped from hundreds of artist submissions from around the world.
What continues to set Barnside apart is its mix of community fair and destination music festival. It can book Marianas Trench and Tom Cochrane, then turn around and give you a hay maze and craft market.
Early Bird three-day passes are available through a subscriber presale, with newsletter members receiving early access and discounted GA and VIP tickets before the public on-sale. Kids 10 and under are admitted free. More information on the festival’s website.
With six major headliners, expanded programming, and one of its most ambitious lineups so far, Barnside Harvest Festival looks ready to make a strong case for being one of B.C.’s must-hit festivals this fall.

MUNA, longtime festival favorites, shared their excitement about returning to New York for a headlining slot, calling All Things Go “one of our favorite festivals to play” and joking, “let’s go, lesbians!”
Over the last few years, All Things Go has built a reputation for its fan-focused atmosphere and strong sense of inclusivity. Fans online have affectionately nicknamed the festival “Gay-chella,” “All Things Gay,” and “Lesbopalooza,” reflecting the event’s large LGBTQ+ fanbase and welcoming community vibe.
Tickets go on sale with a fan presale beginning Wednesday, May 20 at 10 a.m. ET, followed by the public onsale Thursday, May 21. Single-day tickets start at $99, with three-day passes starting at $225. More information here.

Meanwhile, the Toronto edition is set for June 6 and 7 at RBC Amphitheatre with headliners including Lorde, Kesha, Wet Leg, and The Beaches.

All Things Go Toronto 2026 Reveals Daily Schedule Ahead of June Festival Weekend
All Things Go Toronto 2026 has officially shared the daily schedule for its 2026 edition, giving fans a closer look at how the weekend at RBC Amphitheatre will unfold on June 6 and 7.
The festival, which expanded into Toronto in 2025 after building a strong following in the United States, is bringing a lineup packed with indie pop, alternative, and rising Canadian talent. Doors for both days open at 2:00 p.m.
Saturday’s lineup is headlined by Kesha, who closes out the night with a set running from 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Before that, hometown favourites The Beaches will take over the stage from 7:30 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. The day will also feature performances from Rachel Chinouriri, Holly Humberstone, Sofia Camara, and Bella Kay.
Sunday shifts into a more indie-rock-heavy close with Lorde headlining from 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The lead-up includes a stacked evening featuring Wet Leg and Del Water Gap. Earlier in the day, fans can catch sets from Jade LeMac, MOMMA, and Flower Face.
The schedule reveal arrives after months of anticipation surrounding the festival’s Toronto return. Lorde’s appearance comes during a major stretch for the singer following renewed live activity and growing excitement around her next era, while Kesha continues her recent comeback run that has leaned into a more independent and celebratory direction onstage.
With set times now locked in, fans can officially start planning their festival weekend, whether that means camping out for barricade spots, bouncing between artists, or preparing for what could easily become one of Toronto’s biggest music weekends of the summer.
