Rock La Cauze is making its highly anticipated return to Victoriaville, Québec, bringing one of the most powerful lineups in its history. Scheduled from August 6 to 8, 2026, at Parc Terre-des-Jeunes, the three-day event will be packed with top-tier alternative rock, punk, and metalcore acts, including I Prevail, Killswitch Engage, and Hollywood Undead.
Festival President Yanick Poisson stated that the 2026 edition is a huge milestone for both the event and the local rock community.
“It is an incredible source of pride to present a lineup of this caliber right here in the heart of Québec, on one of the most beautiful festival sites in the world,” Poisson said in a statement. “The excitement extends far beyond our borders, with people from all over already confirming their attendance. With the favorable exchange rate, it comes as no surprise that so many Americans are making the trip to experience this unique and spectacular event.”
The festival kicks off on Thursday with an opening night featuring Exterio, Kamakazi, Mr. 82, and L’Expédition, a special tribute to Les Cowboys Fringants.
Things get heavier on Friday, with Killswitch Engage taking the stage as the main headliner. They will be joined by an explosive roster that includes Hollywood Undead, August Burns Red, Malevolence, and Basterds.
Saturday will close out the weekend with I Prevail leading the final night. The crowd can also expect high-energy performances from Story of the Year, Zebrahead, Save Ferris, Voodoo Glow Skulls, 2Fast4U, and Ambrosine.
Beyond delivering incredible music, Rock La Cauze continues its strong philanthropic mission. The organizers announced that this year’s proceeds will benefit three regional charities: Domaine bleu, Maison Raymond-Roy, and Réseau autonomie santé.
Since its inception, the festival has given back over $200,000 CAD to the community. With more than 2,500 tickets already snatched up four months ahead of the event, organizers are confident that this year will result in another massive donation. Fans can grab their tickets now through the official Rock La Cauze platforms.
