There's an epic 2-day music festival coming to Calgary this spring

Calgary’s Electric Highway Festival is returning April 17 and 18 for the fourth year in a row.

Originally named the 4/20 Music and Arts Festival, the two-day event got a new name and new acts heading into the 2020 edition.

The performance lineup is comprised of both local and international talent, including performers like Sasquatch, Wo Fat, Mothership, Duel, La Chinga, Gone Cosmic, and 16 other smoking hot musicians, six of which are from right here in Calgary.

This year’s event will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion #1.

A pinball tournament will also be hosted on April 18 at Pin-Bar as part of the festivities.
