ArtikFest is raising the bar for its 4th edition. After announcing two major international headliners, Lost Frequencies and Zomboy, the festival is now unveiling its full outdoor lineup, taking place February 20 and 21, 2026 along Trois-Rivières’ riverfront. Ten additional artists join the bill: Wodd, Usaybflow, Monsieur PY, Future Exit, Tom Dūno, Marta, Kat2Kat, Froufrou, Mholy, and TRHM.
In just a few short years, ArtikFest has become one of Québec’s must-attend winter events. With its distinctive spirit, top-tier programming, affordable access, bold artistic identity, and strong creative vision, the festival transforms downtown Trois-Rivières into a vibrant hub of music, art, and celebration. Each year, it attracts an ever-growing audience during a season that is usually quieter for tourism, drawing visitors not only from across Québec but from all other Canadian provinces as well. This year, ArtikFest aims to deliver its most ambitious and unforgettable edition yet, offering an even more spectacular experience that celebrates the magic and energy of winter in Québec.
Staying true to its mission of celebrating the full spectrum of electronic music, ArtikFest will once again present two complementary nights, each with its distinct identity yet welcoming to all audiences. Friday will set the riverfront alight with high-energy bass and dubstep, delivering an intense and electrifying experience. Saturday will shift into a brighter, melodic, and festive electro-pop atmosphere, perfect for a massive outdoor celebration under the stars. Both evenings are designed to appeal to everyone: curious newcomers eager to explore electronic music, families looking for a unique winter outing, and devoted fans who follow the scene closely. It’s an open invitation to bundle up, come together, and warm up by dancing all weekend long.
The weekend will kick off with a thunderous performance from Zomboy, one of dubstep’s most influential producers. With more than 750 million streams, iconic tracks such as Terror Squad and Like A Bitch, and explosive shows at legendary venues including EDC Las Vegas and London’s Ministry of Sound, the British artist has cemented his status as a defining force in the genre. After a three-year absence from Québec, Zomboy makes his highly anticipated return, marking his first-ever performance in Trois-Rivières as he headlines ArtikFest on Friday night.
Before Zomboy takes the stage, the audience will be treated to an exclusive B2B set from two rising stars of the Canadian bass scene: Wodd and Usaybflow. Blending hybrid riddim, retro-futuristic energy, and unpredictable drops, this one-time-only collaboration will make its debut at ArtikFest.
The night will also feature Future Exit, one of the most promising young bass producers on the scene, known for his futuristic sound, catchy melodies, and performances he describes as immersive “live experiments.” Opening the evening are two electrifying Québec talents: Kat2Kat, known for her signature blend of funky wobble and dubstep, and Mholy, whose raw energy and intense stage presence make her return especially anticipated.
