Here’s how to get tickets to Alberta’s largest outdoor EDM festival

Are you ready for Alberta’s best EDM festival?

Chasing Summer is a two-day electronic music festival in Calgary, which is Alberta’s biggest outdoor EDM festival. Its lineup includes huge names like Subtronics, Rezz, Fisher, Two Friends, and so many more well-known artists. Tickets have just gone on pre-sale for the festival, so we’re here to help you out with all the information you’ll need.

What to expect

This is the 13th year of Chasing Summer, held this year at the iconic Max Bell Centre Festival Grounds on Aug. 1 and 2. First things first, this festival is for those 18 and above. Once you’ve hit that quota, you’re ready for loads of fun.

For this year, there are names like Elderbrook, Coco and Breezy, and a bunch of talented performers. For a full list of featured performers, I’d recommend checking out its Instagram.

Pre-sale tickets have just gone on sale, with pre-sale tickets available until general sale on Friday, March 13 at 11 a.m. Friday is when those without the pre-sale code can secure their spots.

Lucky for you, we’ve got the code you’ll be needing for Chasing Summer 2026’s pre-sale: CHASING26.

You can find tickets at the Front Gate site online, with lockers available as well as weekend passes. Tickets start at a $19.99 down payment, with total weekend general admission ticket pricing around $225.

This festival has been an absolute staple in the Alberta rave scene, even more so in Calgary itself. You won’t want to miss out on this year’s stacked lineup. Whether you’re in for drum and bass beats or trance music, there will be something to suit your vibe.

Don’t forget PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect) and remember to have the time of your life at this year’s Chasing Summer.
