Five years calls for a big party. On November 11, Igloofest Québec unveiled the lineup of its 5th edition, March 4 to 6, 2027 at Place Jean-Béliveau: Alesso, MEDUZA and Steve Aoki lead nine artists from North America, Europe and Asia — and the party starts early, on February 20, with a first Pop-up on Rue Saint-Jean.

Quebec City — The announcement dropped on Wednesday, November 11: for its fifth anniversary, Igloofest Québec — presented by Loto-Québec in collaboration with Fizz, and produced by Gestev and Multicolore — is thinking big. Three nights of open-air electronic music, in the middle of winter, at Place Jean-Béliveau, in the heart of ExpoCité. The festival, open to ages 16 and up, says it has welcomed nearly 65,000 festival-goers since its first edition.

Three nights, three headliners

  • Thursday, March 4: the Scène de Québec opens the ball with SIN LESS, followed by American artist SCRIPT — then Alesso, welcomed for the first time at Igloofest Québec.
  • Friday, March 5: Cece The Red kicks off the night, Montreal's Suray Sertin takes over — then Italian trio MEDUZA, in a DJ set.
  • Saturday, March 6: Quebec City's own Shieldie opens the closing night, Taiwan's RayRay follows — then Steve Aoki, in his very first performance in Quebec City.

The party starts on February 20

New for the fifth anniversary: a first-ever Pop-up, on Saturday, February 20, 2027, on the forecourt of Saint-Jean-Baptiste church, with the SDC du Quartier Saint-Jean-Baptiste — a night to build the fever before March. And to stretch the three nights further, the Après-ski nights at Boîte de Nuit St-Joseph are back, showcasing emerging DJs from the local scene; their lineup will be announced later.
