A Lineup of Visionaries, Legends, and the Next Wave

As “Canada’s Weirdest Experimental Music Festival” (Vice), Electric Eclectics 2026 returns with our classic camping-and-concerts weekend at the Funny Farm outside of Meaford, Ontario.

It features avant hip-hop artist Quinton Barnes (Montreal), experimental musician Aaron Dilloway (Oberlin), and Nihilist Spasm Band (London, ON) who will collaborate with a roster of guest performers including vocalist Friendly Rich and others (TBA).

Additional performers include Parade (Toronto), Magella (Montreal), New Chance (Toronto), EE resident artist Lary 7 (New York), and many more. Additional artists will be announced shortly. A full list of performances, installations, films, and DJs can be viewed on our website.

Attendees at Electric Eclectics will experience our truly unique blend of main stage performers, installation artists, DJs, and an experimental film program in the EE Cinema Tent, all under the open skies and glorious sunsets of rural Ontario.

Discounted tickets are on sale now on our ticket page. Options include weekend passes and day passes with or without camping. Ticket prices are scheduled to increase steadily from now until the festival weekend.
