Sask Jazz Fest, previously known as the Saskatchewan Jazz Festival, has started to announce artists for its upcoming 2026 event. The festival will take place from July 5 to 11 in Saskatoon, primarily held at Victoria Park. The first ticketed day features performances by headliner Modest Mouse, along with Snacktime and The Naysayers, set to take the stage at various times on July 7.
In conjunction with artist announcements, the festival has introduced a new tiered pricing structure for tickets. This initiative allows early purchasers to benefit from exclusive pricing, with options for different tiers to ensure accessibility. The announcement about the festival's rebranding and the exciting lineup aims to boost attendance and enhance the overall experience for festival-goers in the coming years.
The introduction of tiered tickets, starting at $65 and increasing to $90 for day-of-show purchases, reflects a strategic move to engage a broader audience while also planning for higher operating costs. The festival is poised to reveal additional headliners in the future, building anticipation for what has become an essential event in the summer calendar for music lovers in Saskatchewan.
