It is full steam ahead for the All Things Go festival.

The popular American music fest has announced its expansion to Toronto, scheduled to take place at Budweiser Stage on Saturday, October 4 and Sunday, October 5, 2025. The lineup will be revealed here soon.


Last year, All Things Go simultaneously celebrated 10 years of the festival in the Washington, D.C. area and launched a New York festival, and in 2025 both those events are expanding from two to three days. While growing rapidly in scale, ATG is continuing its core mission, described in a statement as “an intentional focus on female and non-binary-led lineups, and an ongoing commitment to cultivating diverse, inclusive spaces within the music community.”

For the inaugural All Things Go Toronto Festival, the ATG team is partnering with Live Nation Women. "We are 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.”

“Besties, we’re headed north. #AllThingsGo Toronto is officially ON,” the caption read on the festivals Instagram announcement. “Two STACKED days of iconic artist performances at Budweiser Stage by the waterfront.”

Just prior to ATG Toronto, All Things Go returns to Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland and Forest Hills Stadium in New York with lineups again highlighting female and LGBTQ+ artists. The Columbia event, running Sept. 26-28, has announced a lineup that includes Noah Kahan, Doechii, Kesha, DJO, Clairo, Lucy Dacus, Sharon Van Etten, The Last Dinner Party, The Beaches and more. The NYC festival runs on those same dates.

Since its founding in 2011, All Things Go has showcased an impressive lineup of groundbreaking and platinum-selling artists, including Billie Eilish, boygenius, Lana Del Rey, Maggie Rogers, Hozier, Lorde, Laufey, Mitski, HAIM, Janelle Monáe, Charli XCX, MUNA, Carly Rae Jepsen, Bleachers, Tove Lo and many more. It has also received extensive coverage in major media outlets.

New & Upcoming Canadian Albums: Neil Young, Common Holly, The Barr Brothers

Other Canadian artists with new albums out this week include Tyler Ellis, JupiterReign, Curbside, Steven Taetz, Spanned Canyons, Tyler Ellis, APACALDA and CHXMERAS.

This week's list of new Canadian album releases is headed by the ever-prolific Neil Young, with Talkin’ to the Trees. His 44th studio album, it features his new band, the Chrome Hearts, and is heavily political in tone. Loudersound notes that "there’s no denying that he’s capable of writing gloriously blunt and bracing protest songs when he’s properly fired up. 'Big Change' and 'Let’s Roll Again' are the new record’s snarling highlights, a one-two knockout punch of sarcasm-drenched yet entirely sincere bile in which Young cranks up his guitar and takes direct aim at Trump and his lackey Elon Musk."
