Igloofest 2027 brings KAYTRANADA, deadmau5, Fatboy Slim and Boris Brejcha to the Old Port in Montréal. The festival runs from mid-January through early February 2027, marking its 19th year. Organizers released the full lineup this week under the theme "Face the Beast," and pre-sale registration opened Thursday, October 22, with general tickets following Friday, October 23.

The outdoor winter festival, produced by Multicolore, expects nearly 100,000 attendees across four weekends and 12 major nights, according to organizers. Its main stage sits on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, and the festival bills itself as the coldest dance floor in the world.

Who is playing at Igloofest 2027?

Opening night, January 14, belongs to Montréal's own KAYTRANADA, who headlines the Sapporo Stage with his blend of house, funk and hip-hop. Longtime collaborator Lou Phelps opens with a DJ set. James Hype plays January 15, and Chris Lorenzo closes the first weekend on January 16.

Highlights across the remaining weekends include:

  • Fatboy Slim on January 21, with a special guest still to be announced
  • KETTAMA on January 22; Ninajirachi and Frost Children on January 23
  • Mosimann on January 28; deadmau5 on January 30, preceded by TDJ
  • Fcukers (DJ set) on February 4; Boris Brejcha on February 5; Subtronics closing the main program on February 6

The bill also spans techno, bass and hyperpop, with names such as Marie Davidson, Taiki Nulight, tINI and the Swedish collective swedm®. Montréal's scene is represented by TDJ, Lou Phelps, Lia Plutonic and collectives including Ferias and Hauterageous.

What else happens beyond the main stage?

Igloofest is more than nightly concerts. Free afternoon Igloofête events are scheduled for January 16, 23, 30 and February 6, and several Après-Ski afterparties will be announced in December, according to the lineup announcement. The site also includes an Igloovillage with activities, bars and food trucks.

After the Montréal dates, the festival's Canadian expansion continues with further stops in Gatineau, Québec City and Edmonton, running into mid-March.
