The organizers of Rifflandia have announced the gigantic concert lineup for the upcoming festival, which features both classic and new artists.
This year’s festival will be held at Matullia Lands at Rock Bay in Victoria from September 11 to September 14.
Some recognizable names in this year’s lineup include Public Enemy, Descendents, NxWorries (made up of Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge) and Alessia Cara. Attendees can catch the Victoria Symphony playing Daft Punk on day one. There will also be many DJ sets and indie artists showcasing their talent this year.

Last year, Rifflandia shifted venues to Matullia Lands at Rock Bay, which appears to be the festival’s new location for the foreseeable future.
“It’s our 15th year, and we’re doing it better than ever — whether you’re here for the throwbacks, the club beats, or the indie gems, there’s something for everyone in this year’s lineup.”
In response to the announcement, many people on Instagram sounded excited about the concert lineup, but others expressed hope for something similar to Rifflandia’s 2022 lineup, which included artists like Lorde, Cypress Hill, and BBNO$.
In past years, the festival has featured Charli XCX, Post Malone, Courtney Love, Paris Hilton, Moby, and Shaquille O’Neal.
If you’re not from Vancouver Island and are planning to make your way over to Victoria, there’s a unique hotel you can stay at that could spice up your trip.
