Among the marquee names are Muse, Gwen Stefani, Jelly Roll, Kesha, The Lumineers, Michael Bublé, and the nostalgia-charged return of Limp Bizkit, alongside EDM titan Martin Garrix and Québécois favourites like Patrick Watson and Les Louanges. The lineup continues FEQ’s reputation for balancing arena-level acts with regional representation – a formula that has made the festival one of Canada’s most significant music gatherings.

Founded in 1968, FEQ now draws massive crowds to multiple stages across Québec City, with more than 175 performances expected this year alone. “FEQ is much more than a series of big concerts: it’s a gathering that brings people together and gives back,” said Nicolas Racine, President and CEO of BLEUFEU.

For RANGE, the festival has become a recurring summer pilgrimage – a place where genre boundaries dissolve in front of six-figure crowds and a single night might move from folk sing-alongs to pulsing electronics. If the 2026 lineup proves anything, it’s that FEQ remains committed to scale, surprise, and the kind of diversity that turns Québec City into the centre of the music world for eleven nights every July.
