Everything You Need to Know About All Things Go Toronto!!!
BY LIZ BAUMMERAll Things Go’s incredible success continues with another expansion announcement. THE FESTIVAL IS HEADED TO TORONTO!!!!!
All Things Go has just announced its third iteration for this year. The festival will take place on October 4 and 5 at Budweiser Stage. These dates fall one week after the concurrent DC and NYC iterations of the festival on September 26-28. With incredibly limited tickets available for DC and NYC, Toronto is the perfect chance for even more fans to catch All Things Go in action this year! The festival promises that the Toronto lineup will remain true to All Things Go’s mission to “intentionally focus on female and non-binary-led lineups” and continue its commitment to “its ongoing commitment to cultivating diverse, inclusive spaces within the music community”. See more details on the lineup at the end of this article!
Another exciting detail about the Toronto expansion is that the festival is partnering with Live Nation Women to ensure fans have an incredible experience at this year’s festival. As per the press release Ali Harnell, Live Nation Women President and Chief Strategy Officer had the following to say about the partnership:
“Live Nation Women is proud to support the growth of the All Things Go festival brand,” says Ali Harnell, Live Nation Women President and Chief Strategy Officer. “We remain committed to championing women and expanding opportunities for emerging talent across the live music landscape. This partnership goes beyond the festival—it's about creating platforms where a wide range of artists and stories can be seen and heard.”
This expansion to Toronto continues All Things Go’s streak of massive growth in the last couple of years. Here’s a little history:
2014 - The festival started in 2014 as a one-day festival at Union Market in DC. There were eight total artists on that first lineup including Future Islands and Tove Lo.
2021- In 2021 the festival moved to its current DC home at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD.
2023 – In 2023, All Things Go expands to two days for the first time. (Fun fact: This was actually my first time attending the festival, and I immediately became a lifelong fan.)
2024 - Last year, while celebrating an incredible 10 years of the festival (!!!!!), All Things Go expanded to a two city festival. With the original festival being DC, All Things Go added NYC to its repertoire, running the two festivals concurrently on the same weekend. The NYC iteration is currently hosted at Forest Hills Stadium!
2025 - This year All Things Go announced that both the DC and NYC iterations of the festival would move from two-day to three-day festivals, now running Friday through Sunday. And now the festival is adding a third location, the first that is outside of the country, in Toronto.
2026 and beyond – Who knows! With their continued astronomic growth, where do you think All Things Go could be headed next if they continue to expand cities? With a festival currently focused on the East Coast, could the future see All Things Go taking the West Coast by storm as well? I have no doubt that they’d be just as successful as they have been in the last 11 years. Every single year, All Things Go proves what most of us already know, more people want women and queer artist-led lineups!
The Toronto lineup does indeed hold true to All Thing Go’s core values as promised. The lineup has some overlap with DC and NYC, but also includes several artists that fans can only catch in Toronto. Toronto headliners Reneé Rapp and Kavery Musgraves aren’t featured on either of the other lineups. Also exclusive to Toronto: Ravyn Lenae, Chelsea Cutler, Julia Wolf, Elio, Emei, Charlotte Cardin, Noah Cyrus, Valley, and Bob Nova. Remi Wolf is on the Toronto lineup after headlining NYC Day 2. Role Model is playing both Toronto and DC while Blondshell can be caught in both Toronto and NYC. Joy Oladokun is the only artist featured across all three lineups!
The Toronto installment of the festival has three ticket types: General Admission Lawn, General Admission Pavilion, General Admission Floor, and VIP. Each type is then available in Saturday, Sunday, or 2-Day options.
Below are a breakdown of each ticket type for the 2-Day Ticket option:
