The 2026 lineup included The Darcys, FONTINE, Cat McGurk, Daughters of Donbas, Drives The Common Man, Gnarwhal. Tickets and passes are sold through https://www.folkontherocks.com/. There is no festival camping, so plan to stay in local accommodation. Age policy: All ages. Visitors coming from outside Yellowknife should book travel and accommodation early, as rooms can fill quickly around festival dates. Musicfestguide builds its listings from organiser information and reputable press, and marks anything it could not confirm as not verified rather than guessing. Details such as accessibility services, on-site facilities and full lineups are added to this listing only once the organisers confirm them. If you have attended and can share first-hand details on facilities, accessibility or getting there, the listing will be expanded with that information once verified. Always confirm details on the official website (https://www.folkontherocks.com/) before booking travel, as dates, prices and programming can change.
