Event Description

Phillips Backyard Music Festival is back and bigger than ever, taking over the heart of Victoria, BC from July 10–12, 2026.

Three days. One stage. Zero filler.

This year’s lineup is stacked with global heavy-hitters, breakout stars, and the best of BC’s homegrown talent. From the genre-shattering force of Chance The Rapper to the razor-sharp wit and swagger of Father John Misty, to the explosive, anthem-sized sound of indie legends Modest Mouse, every single night closes with a can’t-miss moment.

And that’s just the top of the bill.

Wolf Parade return in full force with their chaotic, electrifying post-punk energy. Angine De Poitrine bring boundary-pushing math/psych intensity. Sudan Archives delivers her unmistakable fusion of R&B and violin-driven futurism. Duckwrth turns up the heat with his infectious, feel-good chaos.

Add in the shimmering, bittersweet pop of Victoria’s own Sophia Stel and the sun-soaked, West Coast soul of Jon and Roy, and you’ve got a weekend that hits hard from start to finish.
