This year’s Rifflandia might be remembered for its most eclectic mix of artists yet.
For the Gen Xers and elder millennials, the entire Rifflandia lineup is bound to kick your nostalgia into high gear. The Friday lineup features headliner Ja Rule, and on Saturday, there will be no scrubs when TLC headlines the stage.
While the headliners scream Gen X, many buzzworthy artists of the present will also be there.
Brace yourself for a dose of viral energy from none other than Oliver Tree, and get ready to groove with Sophie Ellis-Bextor, the enchantress behind “Murder on the Dancefloor,” the viral song from the hit movie Saltburn.

Rifflandia booked a ton of Canadian talent, too: The Beaches, Tokyo Police Club (on their farewell tour), rapper K-OS, Lazy Syrup Orchestra, and Maestro Fresh Wes are all lighting up the undercard.
Sunday’s headliners will be Canadian icon Feist (best known for her hit “1234”), hip-hop pioneers De La Soul, and Canadian rock legends Crash Test Dummies.
An interesting note: with Broken Social Scene performing on Saturday (a band Feist has previously been part of), we could be in for a reunion.

It’s a whole new lineup but also a whole new location for Rifflandia, too.
After one of its biggest years in 2023, Rifflandia permanently moved its main operations from Royal Athletic Park to the Matullia Holdings area of Rock Bay, between Phillips Brewing and Vancouver Island Brewing.
