Timeless Festival 2026: Where Underground Rave Culture Gets Supernatural

As DJ Guapo, I’ve been performing at Timeless / Good Vibes festivals since 2018. These events are near and dear to my heart. In 2025, I had the immense honor of performing the festival closing set. At the time, it seemed like it would be the festival’s final edition organized by Festoche Bamboche! It was heartbreaking to think we would all have to say goodbye.

But then through divine intervention, advanced witchcraft and the luck of the Irish a miracle occurred! Against all odds, they changed their minds. I am overjoyed to announce that Timeless returns September 4–7 for the Labour Day long weekend !

Four days of continuous underground electronic music, five stages, camping, art, workshops, wellness spaces, food, drinks and plenty of opportunities to get lost in the music, dance your ass off and escape the laws of nature!

Best Kept MTL is excited to be giving away a pair of tickets to this incredible festival! More details on how to enter coming soon.

Five Stages, Five Different Universes

The festival’s musical landscape unfolds across five distinct environments, each with its own sound, aesthetic and crew. The lineup brings together international headliners, local veterans and emerging talent, with live performances, DJ and VJ sets, burlesque, fire dancing, circus arts and more.

NEVERLAND

Located next to a majestic waterfall, Neverland dives into the Psychedelic Trance universe, with programming from Techsafari Records, Ancient Om Productions and Festoche Bamboche. The stage promises a full visual assault, with extraterrestrial scenography, lasers, lighting and VJ performances from Mr. Sun Eye Candy, Insomnic and Melesul3.

International Headliners: Kalki, Ahyoka, Treize (all three artists are from France).

BUISSONNIÈRE

This stage is a huge gazebo at the top of the cliff overlooking the waterfall. It’s the experimental corner, dedicated to live music, vinyl, sonic experiments and other assorted madness. Powered and decorated by 51Force, with programming from Festoche Bamboche.

Two bars and free drinking water will keep everyone hydrated. L’Oasis brings together restaurants, food vendors and artisans, with vegan and carnivore options including wood-fired Greek pizza, Asian cuisine, tacos, fast food, coffee, tea, breakfast food etc…

Chillart

Chillart is the festival’s artistic creation space. This year, festival-goers can document strange creatures, UFOs, portals and other supernatural phenomena on a site map that will become a collective artwork. So if you see something strange create sone art about it!

Workshops & Conferences

Daytime programming includes workshops and conferences Saturday and Sunday at the Antropique Stage. Check the full festival schedule for the complete lineup.

The Waterfall

Finally, there’s the waterfall.

Located within the waterfall park itself, it’s the perfect place to take a swim to cool off, recharge and remember that you are, technically, still a physical being living in the natural world. Take a hike through the woods, climb the cliffs and see the site from the suspension bridge!

Where Is Timeless Festival Taking Place?

Timeless 2026 takes place at Parc de la Chute Sainte-Agathe-de-Lotbinière, a spectacular natural setting at 342 Chemin Gosford, Sainte-Agathe, Quebec. The festival grounds combine forest, cliffs, camping areas and the park’s famous waterfall.

For those coming from Montreal, shuttle buses will run to and from Parc La Fontaine, making it easy to get to the festival without driving.

Who is Doing the Closing Set?

For the closing set of 2026 I’m excited to pass the torch to the bass breaks queen Melodrastik! She is a member of Global Funk Fam the worldwide super crew of Bass DJs, one half of the B2B duo Heavy Gemz, the co-founder of Bass Girlz From the Block and my co-founding partner in the Flamingo Funk crew! She will rock the closing!

Don’t miss out on this unique festival experience! This is true underground rave culture, run by talented & ethical artists from the scene. This is what raves and festivals were like in the good old days—before they became mainstream corporate cash grabs with pop artists playing pre-recorded sets! Four days, five stages, countless strange encounters—and, if previous editions are anything to go by, a very good chance that reality will become somewhat optional. See you on the dancefloor!

Before escaping the city for Timeless Festival 2026, there’s still plenty happening on Montreal’s cultural calendar.
