Beyond its devoted fan base, the festival has emerged as a standout for artists as well. Last year’s marquee acts applauded the event, with Jack Antonoff remarking, “Glastonbury, take note,” and Clairo describing it as “one of my favorite crowds ever.”
Hinterland has earned acclaim from publications such as Pitchfork, which called the festival “an underrated gem in the Midwest.” The Minnesota Star Tribune raved that “Hinterland competed with Coachella for Instagram-worthy moments,” while Business Insider’s Mo Mitchell wrote, “I skipped Lollapalooza for a smaller, cheaper Midwest music festival with some of the same big names.” As the Iowa State Daily noted, “With trending artists and kind-hearted people, what’s not to love about visiting the fields of St. Charles, Iowa, and getting lost in music?”

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.
