Ready, set... go! The shows for BIG BANG 2026 have just landed!
A shower of music, fun discoveries, and joyful little bits of craziness awaits you. Fun for the whole family—and easy on the wallet! This year, on top of the two fantastic shows already announced—Thelonious and Music Under a Midnight Moon —the festival proposes four Music Rooms you can slip into like tiny secret universes:
Dive straight into the gentle sounds of West Africa with Mamadou Koïta: dancing rhythms, sparkling energy, and guaranteed smiles.
The Sounds of Nothing invites you to listen closely: objects start whispering, microphones catch the impossible, and reality gets a little mischievous.
In a suspended moment, a bassoon and a root-boot-puppet share stories without words, guided by the talented Laurence Petitpas and Yana Ouellet’s bassoon.
And set off toward a soundscape that’s both strange and wonderful with Jesse Stewart and Joël Dazé, where keyboards, homemade percussion, and sonic curiosities create a world to hear… and explore!
Want more?
Get ready to stomp your feet and join us at the Fourth Stage, because Toronto-based Polky is arriving with their wild Polish folk rhythms and contagious energy. You won’t resist the urge to dance!
This is only the beginning…
