Calgary festival, The Electric Highway, is gearing up for its 2024 edition. The event will take place on April 4th, 5th, and 6th, at Dickens (1000 9 Ave SW). The festival is now giving a preview of its bands, with their EHF 2024 Spotify Playlist. It includes tunes from Canadian Juno Award-winning Vancouver band Anciients who will headline the whole festival. They will be joined by various Western Canadian bands including Dead Quiet, Empress, Flashback, Buffalo Bud Buster, and others. Ghost Cult is an official media partner for the festival in 2024. Find the playlist and more in the article below.
The final festival poster is now available. The festival artwork was created by Saskatchewan tattoo artist Roman Corkery. Besides being a fantastic tattoo artist, Roman is also a talented multi-media artist. The Festival thought it was time to have a full-on space theme. With Roman’s love of creating space-themed art, he was the perfect artist to tackle the idea, and the result is outstanding. Be sure to follow him on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/romancorkery/

The 2023 edition of the festival featured Californian headliners Sasquatch, one of the event’s past favorites, laying down their brand of fuzzy, kick-ass desert rock & heavy psych with direct support from Vancouver’s La Chinga who returned for their 4th appearance on the Saturday night. Black Mastiff returned to headline the Friday night with Calgary’s Gone Cosmic and HypnoPilot headlined the Thursday show with support from Citizen Rage. These were just a few of the wicked bands that played at this past year’s The Electric Highway.
