FVDED In The Park 2025 – Day One Recap & Photos
Holland Park, Surrey, BC | July 4, 2025
Fans of electronic music celebrated at Surrey’s Holland Park this past weekend as FVDED returned for their 10th anniversary, showcasing a larger than ever lineup of local and international talent performing across four separate stages. An estimated 40,000 fans flocked to the festival grounds to see Day 1 headliners Tiesto and Black Tiger Sex Machine!
FVDED proudly opens each day of their festivals by featuring local and rising Canadian artists like Miko.So , Sam I Am, and Sarana (in 2023 and 2024 respectively) and 2025 was no different. Friday began with Vancouver-based Filipino Canadian DJ Chels on the main Pacific Stage, supported elsewhere by fellow Vancouverites Wave Report and Destrata, all of whom were incredible and got attendee’s blood moving as they got through the gates and settled in.
This year fans enjoyed a hazy water feature they could walk through to cool off, some VERY cozy hammocks in the forest (single or group-friendly), and though I can’t prove it, more washroom facilities than I’ve ever seen at FVDED. The concrete amphitheatre that once housed a small stage was replaced with vendors and a semi-permanent tattoo tent which saw a lot of business, allowing for the fourth stage to set up near the entrance at the bottom of a small hill, ideal for relaxing in the sun and enjoying the music.
Friday’s festivities took an unscheduled pause on the Pacific Stage near the end of Juelz’s set, with the technical difficulties causing Uncle Waffles to miss her spot entirely while the issue was resolved. While the afternoon crowd was disappointed, this is the first issue we’ve seen of this sort since we began coverage, and the fans made the most of the break by refreshing their drinks or heading over to the new Propagate Stage to see local favourite hainafromchina, who was a blast.
Like in previous years, First 3 Only were there as the first artists took up their headphones, focusing on the event’s rising stars and Canadian content. We also took an absurd amount of crowd photos, as attendees are some of the most interesting and outgoing people we’ve ever worked with. The weather was entirely reasonable, and the skies were clear, which isn’t always the case despite FVDED’s incredible luck in recent years. We love meeting everyone and seeing their elaborate outfits! We hope you enjoy a few photos of Day 1, and you can head to our Facebook page for the full gallery!

All Things Go NYC Announce 2026 Lineup with Zara Larsson, Brandi Carlile, MUNA, Lola Young, Carly Rae Jepsen, and More
All Things Go Festival is heading back to Forest Hills Stadium this fall with one of its biggest New York lineups yet.
The festival announced the full roster for its third New York edition today, with headliners including Zara Larsson, Brandi Carlile, MUNA, Lola Young, and Carly Rae Jepsen. Larsson’s appearance marks her first-ever headline festival set.
Set across three days on Sept. 25, 26, and 27, the festival continues its tradition of mixing major pop acts with rising artists and internet favorites. The 2026 lineup features names like The Beaches, Rebecca Black, Cara Delevingne, CMAT, Jensen McRae, Hemlocke Springs, and Sienna Spiro. Comedian and musician Meg Stalter joins the lineup as one of the festival’s more unexpected additions.
Returning artist Lola Young teased her comeback in a statement, saying, “All Things Go, we have unfinished business. I feel blessed and ready to take it to the next level. Thank you for having me back.”
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.
The New York announcement follows a busy stretch for the festival brand. Earlier this month, All Things Go unveiled the 2026 Washington, D.C. lineup at Merriweather Post Pavilion featuring artists like Hayley Williams, Mitski, and Brandi Carlile. 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.
