TORONTO (June 9, 2026) – All Things Go Festival returned to Toronto this past weekend for its second annual Canadian edition, drawing near-capacity crowds to the newly minted RBC Amphitheatre on June 6 and 7. From the very first act to the final headliner, the Toronto edition’s single-stage format ensured fans could experience every set without overlap. The passionate and inclusive community that has developed around it has helped make All Things Go one of the most talked-about festivals in North America.
Sunday night’s headliner, Lorde, delivered a showstopping performance that brought the near-capacity crowd to its feet, marking her second appearance at All Things Go. In a moment that quickly made the rounds online, she told the audience:
“This is my second All Things Go! I’m trying to catch them all. It’s a Pokémon situation for me. This is, without a doubt, the coolest festival in North America.”
Genre-defying icon Kesha led Saturday’s lineup alongside Juno Award-winning Toronto rock band The Beaches, a homecoming moment that resonated deeply with the local crowd. Also performing were Rachel Chinouriri, Holly Humberstone, Sofia Camara, and Bella Kay, delivering a day of powerful, diverse sets.
Sunday’s bill featured GRAMMY winners Wet Leg, Del Water Gap, Jade Lemac, Momma, and Flower Face, rounding out a weekend that showcased some of today’s most innovative emerging and established artists.
“The two-day female, queer and non-binary-led event made a comeback this weekend, flexing its power in the summer… the newly-minted RBC Amphitheatre was filled with fans in the sweltering Toronto heat, eager to hear their favourite artists live at the waterfront venue.” – Billboard Canada
Of the 12 acts on this year’s lineup, 68.2% identified as female, while 9.7% identified as non-binary, a figure that stands in stark contrast to industry norms and one that All Things Go has made central to its identity. Across the festival’s full historical lineups, 92% of acts identify as female or non-binary.
Behind the scenes, All Things Go once again partnered with Live Nation Women, aligned in a shared mission to champion women and expand opportunities for artists and fans. As Live Nation Women highlightedthis weekend: “The magic of All Things Go Toronto extends far beyond the stage” – spotlighting the incredible women helping to bring the festival to life across every department.
All Things Go’s commitment to representation extends beyond programming. The festival’s legacy data — 92% female and non-binary identifying acts across its lineups — has become a rallying point for the Book More Women initiative, reinforcing the festival’s role as a model for inclusive booking practices across the live music industry.
This year’s festival experience was elevated by a roster of brand partners who brought immersive activations to the grounds. Partners included American Express, Hayu, RBC, Monster Energy, Method, Party Casino, Labatt, Aperol, and Hotel X, contributing to the vibrant atmosphere that extended well beyond the stage.
All Things Go’s DC and New York editions are set to return on September 25, 26, and 27, with headliners Hayley Williams, Mitski, Zara Larsson, Lola Young, MUNA, etc.
