Presented by OFF2 and Insomniac, the third edition of Dreamstate Vancouver will take place on Saturday, November 28, 2026 at Abbotsford, BC‘s TradeX. Though it follows a sold-out March edition, Dreamstate Vancouver’s third edition sees the event expanding its floor space and visual production while preserving its focused, single-stage concept, ensuring that fans experience every artist on the festival’s lineup together — under one roof.
Yesterday festival organizers announced that the 2026 edition of Draemstate Vancovuer will headlined by electronic music icon Tiësto, who will play a rare, dedicated trance set. His headlining set will also offer Canadian electronic music and dance music fans a chance to catch the iconic producer and artist revisit his massive catalog and the classic anthems that defined his early career. The night will be rounded out by Dash Berlin, Aaron Hibell, Benwal, Darude, Matty Ralph, and Modeā.
The OFF2 Presale is today at 12:00pm PT/3:00PM ET. The general on-sale is Wednesday, September 16, 2026 at 12:00pm PT/3:00PM ET. Fans are encouraged to sign up early for first access to presale tickets.

Over the course of this site’s 16 year history, I’ve used my fiercely independent stance to cover music with an eclectic and global perspective that a lot of other publications just don’t have — and will likely never have.
To that end, I could use your support to continue to keep bringing you my unique global perspective on music. There are a number of ways that you can support this work.
