Our goal is to keep pushing the Toboggan experience forward, offering festivalgoers an ever-more exciting celebration,” said Nicolas Racine, President and CEO of BLEUFEU.
December 29, 2025: Toboggan’s first night will be headlined by the internationally acclaimed DJ and production SIDEPIECE. The duo quickly made a name for themselves with “On My Mind,” a collaboration with Diplo that has amassed over 300 million streams on Spotify and earned the duo a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording back in 2021. The night will be rounded out by Coco & Breezy and Ariana Blanchette, a.k.a. DJ Lovely, a Québec City music scene staple for nearly a decade.
December 30, 2025: Toboggan’s second night will be headlined by BUNT., who has amassed over 250 million streams globally with a vibrant and eclectic sound that meshes elements of folk, house and techno, which is fitting because stage name means “colorful” in German. The night will be rounded out by two Québecois DJs — Montréal‘s Laurence Matte and Québec City’s Chanelle.
New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2025: New Year’s Eve promises to be an unforgettable evening and night — and an incredible way to bring in 2026.
Toronto-based DJ Frank Walker will be headlining the night. Known for his hit single “Only When It Rains” and a Juno Award-nomination for Dance Recording of the Year back in 2020, Walker will be on the decks for the final hour of 2025. After the countdown to 2026, a dazzling pyrotechnic show will light up Québec City’s sky at midnight, followed by the Canadian DJ’s return to the decks to keep the party going until 1:00am.
Acclaimed house music artist Anabel Englund, who was named Female Artist of the Year at the 2022, 2023 and 2025 Electronic Dance Music Awards and Dance Artist of the Year at the 2021 and 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards will be hitting the Toboggan Festival stage at 9:30pm.
Yuki B and Virignie B will kick off the New Year’s Eve festivities with a a set at Place de l’Assemblée-Nationale. The pair of artists will play what they call an alternating B2B DJ set — beat after beat.
