Early bird sales on now for Alberta, BC 2026 summer music festivals
Planning to attend a 2026 music festival as the 2025 summer season winds down might feel like a long way out. But if you had an epic experience this year, or if you missed out on one, it's the best way to ensure you're there for it next year.
Not everybody can build their season around their favourite festival, but if you can, then it makes sense to get them at the lowest possible price.
Here are some early birds out now.
Early bird sales for summer 2026 music festivals
Ok, anyone who has tried to get Shambhala tickets knows how quick they go. Early birds drop Sept 15, here: https://www.shambhalamusicfestival.com/tickets-camping
If Shambhala is already checked off your list or you're looking for a new EDM fest...
Bass Coast is a newer but up and coming alternative to Shambhala. Bass Coast early birds are out now too.
Not into EDM?
Beaumont Music Festival delivers the alt, indie, rock and roots you love, and have super early birds on sale until Sept 30 (and after that, regular early birds we assume so if you miss the first deadline don't give up!).
Or if country is more your thing (and let's face it, it's kind of hot right now)...
Big Valley Jamboree has released its first round of early birds here.
Kaslo Jazz Etc Festival, with its beachside allure, is also offering 2026 early bird tickets.
And after last year's success, Rockin Thunder Festival is returning for year two with its early bird sale here.
Imagine, getting these tickets gives you a whole year to plan and to dream. Share this story with your festival-going friends and make it a party you can all look forward to!
We're watching for more early bird releases and will update as they come up. See one that's missing? Drop us a comment on this post and we'll add it.
