David Guetta is headlining one of B.C.’s largest dance music events of the year

Grab your rave gear and get ready to ring in music festival season. INSOMNIA is back for another electrifying, unforgettable night of deep house, high energy, and bright lights that transport you to another world. David Guetta is a returning headliner this year, alongside Oliver Heldens, James Hype, W&W, and Audien — more big names in the EDM game.

According to its Facebook page, the very first INSOMNIA Festival took place in March of 2019, with Alesso, Ben Nicky, Vini Vici, and Daijo in the lineup. As Canada’s premier music festival at TradeX, it has become the centre stage for some of the world’s top talent.

Presented by OFF2 and Insomniac, the festival is set to be one of B.C.’s largest dance music events of the year.

“This year’s lineup reflects a cross-section of global dance music, spanning chart-topping house, big room anthems, trance energy, and peak-time festival sound,” organizers share. “The TradeX Centre will once again transform into a full-scale festival environment, featuring immersive production, large-format staging, and an all-ages main floor designed to bring together the next generation of dance music fans.”

Of note, there will be shuttle services from Vancouver, Burnaby, and Richmond to provide convenient, reliable transport options for attendees.
