Rifflandia Festival returns bigger and bolder than ever bringing Victoria with six days of programming over two weekends this September.
Since 2008, Rifflandia has been a beloved staple in the Western Canada concert calendar. The Festival is complimented by the Capital city’s local food & beverage entrepreneurs and creative artisans helping create a truly community event. This year, Rifflandia expands its days of programming combining its unique urban decentralized festival:
Weekend One at Electric Avenue (19+) with an expanded footprint and hours, as well as add a dedicated VIP area, it will also feature multiple stages including the return of The Dome and a bigger Main Stage.
The Park (Licensed, All-Ages) will again offer the traditional grassy field festival feel featuring two Main Stages where music lovers of all ages can take in the performances and experience a full scope of exciting festival activities including RiffCity, Kidlandia, and an array of vendors and activations.
After a four year hiatus, last year’s festival drew some of the biggest audiences Rifflandia has ever seen to experience an undeniably elevated event and lineup. This year’s festival will continue down this same track, with a two-weekend, six-day programming. Headliner for 2023 include Iggy Pop, Diplo, Chris Lake, Run The Jewels, Herbie Hancock, Paris Hilton, Salt-N-Pepa, Stephen Marley, Marc Rebillet, Mavis Staples, Chet Faker, KALEO, Paul Okenfold, Chromeo, and so many more.
“We are extremely excited to present our most high-profile and eclectic collection of artists to date! Two weekends will allow both of our flagship event sites to grow into the best versions of themselves, offering two distinct festival experiences under the Rifflandia Festival umbrella! September Forever and Ever!” says Nick Blasko – President & CEO.
