Igloofest Montréal shares the season lineup

Winter is closing in, and the world’s coldest festival is turning up the heat once again. Igloofest Montréal returns to the Old Port from January 15 to February 7, 2026, ready to ignite the ice with a bold lineup of international icons and homegrown heroes. For nearly two decades, Igloofest has transformed the coldest months of the year into a reason to celebrate – a uniquely Canadian ritual that proves you can always throw an unforgettable party, no matter the conditions. What began as a wild idea in the snow has evolved into a global winter phenomenon, and the festival’s 18th edition promises four weekends of pure fire under the frost.

Igloofest Montréal 2026 is led by one of the festival’s biggest bookings to date: DJSnake, a global superstar and in-demand collaborator who has featured the likes of J Balvin, Travis Scott, Future, Selena Gomez, and more across his expansive catalogue. He’s one of the most influential French-speaking artists in the world, making an exclusive Canadian appearance with his signature fusion of global rhythms and festival anthems in tow.

He’ll be joined across Igloofest’s renowned Sapporo and Videotron stages by high-energy powerhouse duo SOFI TUKKER, Belgian rap icon Hamza, pioneering Canadian selector A-Trak, and versatile French standouts Madeon, The Blaze (DJ Set), and Trym. Highlights continue with the debut of an explosive new bass collaboration, Black Tiger Sex Machine & Kai Wachi: Skull Machine, the atmospheric stylings of Elderbrook (DJ Set), and a back-to-back meeting of legendary minds between techno titan and MOOD label boss Nicole Moudaber and Montréal trailblazer Misstress Barbara, who celebrates 30 years behind the decks.

Local highlights continue with two Montréal staples that embody the vitality of the city’s electronic scene: the Ferias collective with Alina B2B Guthrie, and Homegrown Harvest, spotlighting rising talents badgalquirit, donotstealmyname, and Traxence. Fans can also catch heat from DJ Smokey and Shadow Wizard Money Gang – the hyped, Skrillex-backed collective – plus local trance and acid techno favorite Cult Member, Montréal’s bass crew Musik Me Luv with Dick Lee, nad, and Pleurire, and the techno-forward collective OCTOV, featuring BitterCaress, KORVN, and Manolow.
