Established in 2008, Rifflandia Festival has been home to the wild ones, the loud ones, the rock-fist raising, west coast sturdy ones. We have been the backdrop to first concerts, first kisses, and forever friendships.

As one of the longest running large-scale music and arts festivals in Western Canada, we are proud to have become a September staple for so many locals and have welcomed tens of thousands of music lovers to Victoria, BC. 

We don’t just do it for the music, but it is a steady heartbeat. You never know who will take the stage at Rifflandia - our artists are eclectic, lining top international and national acts alongside new and emerging artists. Over its history, the festival has hosted such musical icons as Iggy Pop, Run The Jewels, Lorde, Moby, Charli XCX, Post Malone, Paris Hilton, and more.

There would be no Rifflandia without Victoria. We serve a diverse and creative music forward community, and shine a light on the best of our city. From local creative artisans laying out their designs, the finest west coast cuisine and craft beverages being served throughout the site, to city-wide discount redemption programs, Rifflandia has community at its heart.

We will continue to be innovative, out of the box unconventional thinkers, and bring the best musical experiences to Victoria.

Join us as the journey continues, Sept 13 - 15 at the Matullia Lands at Rock Bay.
