The Electric Highway Festival Confirms 2025 is Their Final Year!
After nearly a decade, The Electric Highway Festival has announced that this year’s edition will mark the final edition of the festival.

After nearly a decade of bringing incredible music, art, and community together, The Electric Highway Festival (formerly the 420 Music & Arts Festival) is hitting the road one last time. Due to ongoing health challenges for their curators, they’ve made the difficult decision that 2025 will be the FINAL edition of the festival.
From its roots as the 420 Music & Arts Festival, which first lit up Calgary in 2017, to the evolution into The Electric Highway, we’ve been privileged to host some of the best heavy rock, doom, and psychedelic bands from across North America. From Wo Fat to Crobot, Dopethrone to Sasquatch, we’ve hosted legends and launched careers. This festival has always been about passion, music, and unforgettable experiences, and we’re determined to go out with a Cosmic Bang!
Join EHF in 2025 for a mind-blowing sendoff featuring headliners Canadian veteran sludge metal band Bison and doom metal band Castle. They will be joined by Southern California band Fever Dog, and various Western Canadian bands, including La Chinga, Buffalo Bud Buster, The Getmines, 88 Mile Trip, and more.
This is your last chance to be part of the Electric Highway experience – the final ride of a festival that has brought together music lovers, artists, and a community unlike any other. Let’s make this one for the history books!
April 4th & 5th, 2025, at Dickens (1000 9 Ave SW), Calgary, AB. Get your tickets, gather your crew, and come celebrate with us one last time – let’s make memories that will last forever!
Advance 2-day passes are available for 75 dollars. Advance single-day tickets are 40 dollars for Friday and 45 dollars for Saturday.
Festival passes, and single-day tickets are available at www.theelectrichighway.ca/festivalstore.
