PSYCHFEST 2026 Winter Showcase Lights Up East Van
Vancouver’s underground music community is gearing up for another night of heavy sounds and late hours as Vancouver Psych Festival and Spacegoat Productions present the PSYCHFEST 2026 Winter Showcase. The event lands on Friday, February 27, 2026, at the Astoria Pub in East Vancouver, a venue long associated with the city’s independent and alternative scenes.
The night features a stacked lineup of six acts, each taking the stage in quick succession:
HUSED: 7:30 to 8:00
IRON & ROT: 8:15 to 8:45
CHEWER: 9:00 to 9:30
FRANKLIN: 9:45 to 10:30
BORT: 10:45 to 11:30
DRUIN: 11:45
Organizers have also announced that featured VFX artists and vendors will be part of the showcase, with more details to be revealed. The event continues the festival’s focus on building community around independent music, visuals, and DIY culture.
Early bird tickets have already sold out, with advance tickets priced at $20 and door tickets available for $25. Tickets are handled through will call, meaning attendees can check in under their name at the door after purchase.
The Astoria Pub is a 19+ venue, and valid government photo ID is required for entry. Accessibility has been taken into account, with the venue fully wheelchair accessible. For those relying on transit, the location sits steps from the #20 and #16 bus stops and about a block from the #7 and other routes, making it one of the more reachable late night spots in East Van.
With winter still holding the city in its grip, PSYCHFEST 2026 offers a reason to step out, catch live music, and support a new wave of local bands and artists keeping Vancouver’s underground scene alive.
