GEDfest returns in 2026 with twelve unforgettable nights of music and meaning, including six brand-new cities on the tour! This year we're aiming higher than ever: help us raise $425,000 for the cause. Every ticket, every donation, every voice in the crowd gets us closer. Get ready to rock for a cause!

Join us as we celebrate the legacy of Gord Downie and raise vital funds to support local cancer initiatives and create unforgettable memories. With returning events in Calgary, Edmonton, Kelowna, Winnipeg, Regina and Saskatoon, we are excited to announce the debut of GEDfest in Vancouver, Cochrane, Toronto, Ottawa, St. John's and Buffalo, NY! This year marks our biggest reach yet.
