Feaster Festival to mark fifth anniversary with free two-day music event in Laval
The Feaster Festival will return to Laval on May 30 and 31, 2026 for its fifth edition, with organizers presenting the anniversary event as a free showcase for emerging talent and local artists. The festival is scheduled to take place at Le Tiers Lieu on Boulevard Saint-Martin.
According to information shared by Feaster, this year’s lineup will feature a mix of hip-hop, Caribbean and Latin-influenced performances. The announced artists for Saturday, May 30 include Fléau Dicaprio, Komedza, May Wells, NE4T, Maëva, Jeekay, Ya Cétidon, Aysha, Lights and Kayos. The Sunday, May 31 program includes Ya Cétidon, King Fali, Kazba, Landy Garcia and Jessie Simmons. Feaster says several of the Saturday performers took part in the first EP created for the festival.
In the announcement, founder and director Alexandre Kénol said the fifth edition will also bring back artists who previously performed at the festival before going on to larger stages in Quebec. He described their return as a sign of the relationships built through the event over the years.
Organizers describe the festival as bilingual and inclusive, with programming aimed at a broad audience that includes local residents, visitors from Montreal and the North Shore, families during the day and music fans later in the evening. The event is presented as free to the public.
Beyond the festival itself, Feaster.ca operates as an online platform connecting artists with event organizers. The website presents itself as a talent directory designed to support local artistic visibility and facilitate bookings. Organizers describe the festival as an extension of that mission by giving artists a live stage to meet audiences in person.
According to the festival announcement, official media partner NATYF TV and sponsors including Scenaspec, Inter-Clôtures Sentinelle, Groupe Multizone, Bouchée Divine and La Maison Komando are supporting the 2026 edition.
