Newly announced free programming expands the festival’s 28-day music lineup, adding to the previously revealed amphitheatre concert series

Organizers today announced more than 60 free performances at the Park Stage during FIFA Fan Festival™ Vancouver, expanding the festival’s music lineup. Together, the programming will deliver 28 days of live entertainment throughout the FIFA World Cup 2026™ at Hastings Park. From international headliners to emerging local artists, the festival will offer two distinct music experiences: free daily performances open to all visitors and premium ticketed amphitheatre concerts featuring major acts.

“British Columbia is home to extraordinary artists and performers, and the FIFA Fan Festival™ Vancouver provides a global stage to showcase their talent,” said Anne Kang, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport. “This celebration will bring communities together, support our creative industries, and welcome visitors from around the world to experience the rich cultural diversity that defines B.C.”

Combined with the previously announced amphitheatre concert series, the program will deliver 28 days of live entertainment throughout the FIFA World Cup 2026™, positioning the FIFA Fan Festival™ Vancouver among the largest live music experiences ever staged in the city.

The newly announced Park Stage lineup includes 60+ free performances by local, national and international artists spanning a wide range of genres, including rock, pop, indie, jazz, hip-hop, electronic, Latin, roots and global music, alongside Indigenous artists.

“Vancouver is proud to welcome the world in 2026, and the FIFA Fan Festival™ will showcase the very best of our city, from our vibrant music scene to the diverse cultures that make Vancouver such a special place,” said Mayor Ken Sim. “This festival will bring people together, support local artists, and create unforgettable experiences for residents and visitors alike.”

Performances will take place daily across the 28-day festival, creating a continuous program of live entertainment between FIFA World Cup™ match live broadcasts.

“This program reflects our commitment to creating an inclusive celebration for locals and visitors alike,” said Jessie Adcock, Vancouver Host Committee Lead. “The scale and diversity of this lineup highlight Vancouver’s role as a global host city and showcase the creativity of our home-grown artists.”
