Spring Reverb 2026
Kingston’s downtown core is about to pulse with four straight days of live music, creative energy, and independent culture as Spring Reverb returns for its fifth edition from May 28–31, 2026.
More than just a music festival, Spring Reverb is a city-wide celebration of artists, ideas, and community. Spanning multiple venues across downtown Kingston, the festival combines live concerts, artist workshops, industry panels, mentorship events, DIY culture, and late-night discoveries into one packed weekend designed for music lovers and creators alike.
This year’s lineup brings together an eclectic mix of indie rock, punk, alternative, folk, experimental, and genre-bending talent from across Canada. Concert highlights include performances by The Dirty Nil, Bedouin Soundclash, By Divine Right, Thanya Iyer, Golden Feather, and many more.
Shows take place at some of Kingston’s most beloved independent venues including The Broom Factory, The Toucan, Musiikki Cafe, Hotel Wolfe Island, Pizza Monster, and more, creating a festival atmosphere built for venue hopping and discovering new favourites.
