Tickets: Available in the Festival Store or on Showpass.

La Chinga Returns to Calgary!

Vancouver’s La Chinga is coming to Calgary on December 2, 2023 in support of their latest release “Primal Forces”. They will be joined by The Electric Revival, Flashback and Hombre for a night of psychedelic madness you won’t soon forget.

La Chinga is a hard Rock power trio with psychedelic powers sitting on the worlds edge in Vancouver, Canada. Drawing from Sabbath, Zep, the MC5 and their own superbad habits, La Chinga has established themselves as one of Canada’s best-kept secrets. The band has performed at festivals and toured in Canada, the United States and Europe. La Chinga is always a favourite at The Electric Highway festival (and its predecessor) in Calgary.

The Electric Revival is back! After a 5-year hiatus, one of Calgary’s most energetic psychedelic bands recently returned to the stage. Formed by guitarist-vocalist Ian Dillon, drummer Dallas Lobb and bassist Dan Toews in 2009, the band has always thrived on performing before an awestruck crowd. The energy and intensity of the band mixed with the psych, heavy blues and desert rock influences will leave you wanting more.

Flashback was formed in a garage in Calgary, AB, in the spring of 2016. From hashing out cover tunes in a basement to writing and recording original music, Flashback has undergone quite a drastic natural progression as they have written and recorded music and had some lineup changes creating a unique sound. Flashback’s latest album, “The Draconic Oath” was released June 2nd, 2023, and incorporated elements of groove and thrash that is sure to make you bang your head. You don’t want to miss their electrifying live performance!

One of the latest Calgary bands to take the scene by storm, Hombre is a combination of everything you love – fuzzy tones, killer riffs and groove that is unstoppable. Stoner muscle car space riffs is the simple statement on the Hombre Facebook page, but the image that invokes is psychedelic, expansive and trippy with a solid base to the whole thing. And that is exactly what you will get with Hombre – an experience worth leaving the house for.

Where: Dickens, 1000 9 Ave SW, Calgary

The Electric Highway Festival Returns in 2023

The Electric Highway was one of the first festivals to be shut down at the beginning of the pandemic. Everyone watched as things unfolded, struggling to comprehend that life as we knew it was being suspended as the world started to lock down.  What we all thought was going to be a short-term, temporary measure dragged on for months. 

Many months later after much uncertainty with health and travel restrictions as well as personal health issues for one of the festival organizers, The Electric Highway is finally a go! The festival returns to Calgary, AB, Canada as a 3-day event on March 23, 24, and 25, 2023. The full event will take place at Dickens in downtown Calgary.

Dickens has been a cornerstone in the Calgary live entertainment scene for the past 16 years. With great food, terrific atmosphere, friendly staff and one of the best stages in the city, Dickens hosts many live music events including Terminus Festival and various Sled Island events. The Electric Highway is excited to be working with Dickens to make this event a great experience for bands, expo vendors and most of all festival attendees.

A big thank you to FACTOR Canada for the support via a festival restarting grant. After the pandemic cancellation and financial losses, the boost has really allowed the festival to continue and move forward.

Buckle up for The Electric Highway Festival!

The Electric Highway Returns!

The Electric Highway was one of the first festivals to be shut down at the beginning of the pandemic. We watched as things unfolded, shocked that all our hard work and great bands we had lined up were in jeopardy. None of us had any idea of what was about to occur as the world started to lock down.

Many months later after much uncertainty with health and travel restrictions as well as personal health issues for one of the festival organizers, we were able to rebook.

The Electric Highway will take place in Calgary on March 23, 24, and 25, 2023.

We will be announcing the lineup for the Electric Highway over the next 2 weeks. You can expect to see some of the bands from 2020 and some new acts to replace bands that were unable to attend or are no longer together. In addition, we will be giving you all of the other details such as venues, all ticket and pass options, festival merchandise presales, and more.

All tickets and pass holders will be receiving instructions on how to transfer their 2020 tickets for 2023 ones. As well, all vendors will receive an email to confirm their attendance. Anyone that cannot attend this year – both ticketholders and vendors – can transfer their attendance to a future year.

We look forward to bringing this festival to you, and can’t wait to see everyone in March!

Festival Passes and Single Day tickets are available.

“All Roads Lead to the Electric Highway”

The 420 Music & Arts Festival is now The Electric Highway!

After careful consideration, we have decided to change the name of the festival to The Electric Highway. When we came up with the concept for the festival in the fall of 2016, legalization was only an idea and we had no idea what impact that would have on our festival. One would think that legalization would be positive, however, it has been more of a headache and hindrance for the festival on many levels. Between FB permanently shutting down some of our ad accounts to cumbersome government-imposed rules and regulations limiting what we could do, and various other limitations standing in our way, we made the decision to change.

The festival will still have the same focus and overall format in a new venue – Royal Canadian Legion #1 – in downtown Calgary. The art expo and marketplace will be fully integrated into the festival. We will continue to bring in great music acts from Canada, the US and around the world. We can focus on the growth of the festival without being limited in any way and still provide all our guests with a great experience.

Be sure to follow the page——> The Electric Highway and share it with others. Watch for the launch of the website coming soon as well as early bird passes going on sale soon and the announcement of the full festival line up within the next few weeks. We look forward to continuing this journey with you on The Electric Highway!
