Electronic music arrives in force in the Fraser Valley this spring as INSOMNIA Festival returns to the TradeX Centre in Abbotsford, BC on Saturday, April 4, 2026. Presented by OFF2 and Insomniac, the 2026 edition brings one of Western Canada’s most formidable dance music lineups to Greater Vancouver, headlined by global icon David Guetta alongside Oliver Heldens, James Hype, W&W, and Audien.

The lineup reads as a cross-section of contemporary electronic music at its most accomplished. David Guetta needs little introduction — few figures in modern dance music have shaped the global festival landscape as consistently or as durably. Oliver Heldens brings his signature deep and future house sensibility, James Hype delivers the kind of peak-time UK house energy that has made him one of the most in-demand live acts on the international circuit, W&W bring big room power and trance-inflected anthems built for arena stages, and Audien rounds out the bill with melodic, emotionally resonant sound design that has earned him a devoted following across North America.

INSOMNIA Festival has established itself as a flagship electronic music event in the Greater Vancouver market, and the TradeX Centre once again transforms into a full-scale festival environment for the occasion. Expect immersive production, large-format staging, and a main floor designed for all ages — a deliberate commitment to welcoming the next generation of dance music fans into the culture. For those seeking an elevated evening, a dedicated 19+ VIP area will offer premium access.
Practicalities have also been addressed for attendees across the Lower Mainland, with shuttle services running from Vancouver, Burnaby, and Richmond — making the journey to Abbotsford as seamless as the music itself.
With this calibre of lineup and the proven infrastructure that INSOMNIA has built over successive years, the 2026 edition is positioned to rank among British Columbia’s largest and most significant dance music events of the year.
General tickets are on sale now.
