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!”

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.
