Festival Fono returns to Quebec City from September 10 to 12, 2026, and the lineup is serious. Nearly 40 artists across three distinct stages on the Universite Laval campus, headlined by GIMS, Grammy-nominated sombr, Alessia Cara, Sofi Tukker, Angus & Julia Stone, Natasha Bedingfield, Chance Peña, Fredz, and Ariane Moffatt.
The festival unfolds across three purpose-built spaces. Vallee Beneva handles the marquee moments, including sombr’s first-ever Quebec City performance. Boise Coors Light brings a more adventurous mix, with NYC electronic duo Sofi Tukker, Congolese-Belgian singer-songwriter Lous & The Yakuza, and Australian electric folk duo Angus & Julia Stone among the highlights. Forêt Electro runs from site opening to close across two stages, completely reimagined for 2026 and dedicated entirely to electronic music.
“We wanted to build much more than a music lineup: a true end-of-summer experience,” says BLEUFEU President Nicolas Racine. Louis Bellavance, Vice-President of Content and Artistic Direction, adds that the program is built so each stage holds its own identity while naturally drawing audiences between spaces. The architecture of this lineup reflects exactly that thinking, and it shows.
Fono is also bringing back its After-Hours Shows, with three secret locations and three mystery artists offering contest winners exclusive late-night experiences. Three-day General Admission passes are on sale now at festivalfono.com, starting at $149 before taxes, with Universite Laval student passes available at $109. Prices hold until July 31, 2026.
