Kelowna’s Rock The Lake Music Festival has added its second wave of artists for 2026.
Canadian alt-rock band Alexisonfire are set to headline the July 10-12 event in downtown Kelowna around Prospera Place.
The latest announcement also includes April Wine, Glass Tiger and tribute act The Hip Replacements, joining previously announced performers Cameron Whitcomb and Default. Organizers say additional artists will be revealed in the coming weeks as the full lineup comes together.
Alexisonfire, co-led by City and Colour’s Dallas Green, are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their platinum-selling album Crisis while on tour across Canada. The Juno Award-winning band is known for its intense live performances and long-standing influence on Canadian alternative rock.
Classic rock veterans April Wine return to the festival with decades of touring history and a catalogue of radio hits, while Glass Tiger brings 1980s pop-rock success and a Grammy nomination dating back to 1987.
The Hip Replacements will perform a tribute set celebrating the music of The Tragically Hip, delivering a collection of the band’s most recognizable songs.
“Rock The Lake 2026 brings our vision of an inclusive rock festival to life,” said Trish Jelinski, general manager and vice-president of GSL Group Sports and Entertainment. “One that stays true to its classic rock foundation while celebrating great Canadian music across generations, past, present and future.”
