We are so proud to share with you our initial lineup for the third edition of PtG. There is so much more to come in the following months, but today's offering feels special. Many of these acts we have been talking to, about, or with for years about coming to share their art with you.
Three day passes are now yours to get, along with a limited amount of our new Under-19 ( Canada's version of All Ages ) pass which grants access to our two all ages venues, arts market, and movie scores strictly for those under the age of 19 ( age verification required at pass pickup )
PtG 2026 will have representation from more continents, countries, genres, & vibes than ever before. Join us, you won't regret it.
Full lineup so far:
Amenra (two sets, heavy and acoustic)
…And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead (Secret of Elena’s Tomb and Source Tags & Codes)
Habak
The Keening
Malevich
Minsk
Oranssi Pazuzu
Pallbearer (Foundations of Burden)
Svalbard ( First/Last North American Show)
