The Electric Highway Fest Returns to Calgary in March 2023!
Get stoked, cause Calgary’s The Electric Highway Festival is returning in 2023 and has announced the full lineup!
The Electric Highway was one of the first festivals to be shut down at the beginning of the Covid pandemic in Alberta. 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, a 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.
Three days of killer bands, rad artists, and fuzzy vibes at Dickens in downtown Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The 2023 edition of the festival focuses on desert rock and metal, doom, sludge, heavy psych and has expanded to include some punk and hardcore bands as well.
The 2023 lineup brings an electric offering of bands, including some of the bands previously booked for 2020 and new acts to replace bands that were unable to attend this year or are no longer in existence. Read More…
