The Beaumont Music Festival kicks off its 19th year this Friday, June 19, 2026, with an updated main-stage lineup featuring Juno Award-winning duo Crown Lands and Canadian rock supergroup Toque. Gates open at 3:30 p.m. at the BADAS Fairgrounds (24358 Township Rd 505, west of Beaumont, Alberta, beside the Elan neighbourhood), with the first main-stage act hitting the stage at 6 p.m.
Crown Lands, the progressive rock pair from Oshawa, Ontario, will perform at 7:45 p.m., fresh off the May 15 release of their latest studio album, “Apocalypse.” They will be followed at 9:30 p.m. by Toque, a Canadian rock supergroup featuring musicians who have toured with Slash, Kelly Clarkson, and Japanese rock band B’z. Toque is known for its high-energy takes on Canadian classic rock songs.
Edmonton cover band RadioActive, a five-member group with more than 75 years of combined live performance experience, opens the main stage at 6 p.m. Meanwhile, the Dream Stage will host Sliver at 4 p.m., followed by Radio Receiver and the Nathan Miller band later in the evening.
The festival happens on the traditional territory of Treaty 6 and the homeland of the Métis. This year marks the event’s return to the BADAS Fairgrounds, its original home from 2008 to 2012, after organizers briefly considered moving indoors to the Ken Nichol Regional Recreation Centre earlier this year.
For the first time, on-site camping is available at $25 per night, with no services provided. Free park-and-ride shuttles will run from the Ken Nichol Arena and the Beaumont Sport and Recreation Centre. Volunteers from the Nisku-Leduc Rotary will also offer free golf cart shuttles from parking areas to the gate.
The festival continues Saturday, June 20, with headliners Big Sugar and Royal Tusk, among others. Organizers say the weekend is designed to be an accessible outdoor destination for families and music fans from across the Edmonton region.
