Festival d'été de Québec (FEQ) is bringing Canadian pop royalty to the provincial capital this summer.

Shania Twain and Avril Lavigne will headline two nights at the 11-day festival in Quebec City. Other headliners include chart breakthrough Benson Boone, Irish singer-songwriter Hozier, thrash metal icons Slayer, and legacy superstar Rod Stewart.

Avril and Shania have both had busy years. Lavigne released her first greatest hits album, backed by a sold-out tour and played one of Glastonbury's most hyped sets last summer, while Twain has taken on TV duties, hosting the People's Choice Country Awards, joining the judges of Canada's Got Talent and appearing in Sabrina Carpenter's Christmas special. Both are hitting the road this summer, too, with Lavigne performing at All Your Friends Fest and Warped Tour and Twain headlining Ottawa Bluesfest.

FEQ's headliners are supported by a deep roster of talent, including Canadian pop singer Alessia Cara, pop-punk stars Simple Plan, jazz-funk iconoclast Thundercat, alt-rock innovators Pixies, dancehall star Sean Paul and breakout Bronx rapper Ice Spice.

FEQ is one of the country's biggest and longest-running music events. Over 50 years old, it has a huge stage capacity — Post Malone played to over 100,000 people last summer — programming international stars alongside Quebec heroes and rising Canadian acts.

One of few Canadian festivals to program 11 days, festival producers BLEUFEU also work hard to keep passes affordable, with a fully transferrable general admission pass priced at just $165 (about $13.63 per day). That's made it a destination event for music lovers across the province and beyond.

FEQ 2025 runs July 3-13. Check out the full lineup below. Passes are on sale now.

Phoebe Bridgers Is ‘Lost,’ but Fans Can Find Her on Newly Announced 2026 World Tour With Dates in Toronto and Vancouver

The news comes on the heels of her top-secret show at Madison Square Garden.

Phoebe Bridgers is going on tour — but for real this time. After spending the past couple of months doing last-minute pop-up shows across the United States, ending with a sold-out acoustic set at Madison Square Garden in New York City, the singer revealed Friday (June 5) that she’s embarking on a larger-scale trek this fall.

Announced ahead of Bridgers’ highly anticipated next album, The Lost Tour 2026 will kick off Sept. 15 in Indianapolis. From there, she’ll weave through cities in the United States and Canada — including Chicago, New York City, Toronto, Boston, Nashville and Los Angeles — before heading overseas for a run of performances in Dublin, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and more European hot spots.
