[Denver C](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/author/denverctf.md) 31 March 2026 · 2 min read Multi-genre electronic music and arts spectacle Groove & Bass throws down not one but two pre-party celebrations ahead of its July extravaganza. Ahead of its fifth anniversary festivities, Canada’s revered forest festival stamps its presence in [**Montreal, Quebec**,](https://www.ticketfairy.com/event/groove-bass-2026-official-pre-party-10apr2026) on **April 10**, followed by [**Toronto, Ontario**,](https://www.ticketfairy.com/event/toronto-pre-party-groov-bass/?r=1636122) on **April 17**. [Tickets to Groove & Bass’ Pre-Party in Montreal](https://www.ticketfairy.com/event/groove-bass-2026-official-pre-party-10apr2026) and Toronto are available now on **Ticket Fairy.** **Groove & Bass** unwraps proceedings at the multipurpose performance venue **ESC** in Montreal with a flush of techno rinsed by international heavyweights and local talents. LA-based techno force **Shay De Castro** and Amsterdam’s techno overlord **JAYZO** look set to ignite the dancefloor with booming, high-energy sessions. Toronto-based techno artist **Alley Kay** slots on support duties for the evening, alongside Montreal-based scene shaper **D’Urbano** and Groove & Bass pillars **Manüman** and **HeLLO**, who channel sounds and tempos from the Montreal underground. Held in collaboration with dance community **FRONT RITE**, gates open at **8:00 PM** with a special presentation before the music hits an hour later and roars on until daybreak. A burlesque show and dance performances are also in store, all tied together with a raw warehouse atmosphere, immersive production, and community at its core. Groove & Bass’s next high-voltage warm-up showcase rolls into **Toronto on April 17**, radiating from the basement of an old theater and jolted by a full sound system rig. Unannounced at the moment are a string of local selectors who join the card alongside a headlining international act, dishing out boundary-pushing house and hypnotic techno grooves. Attendees will also get a taste of **AlienInFlux** Sound System in action, which will also take the reins during the five days of the festival in Bryson. At the time of writing, **Alley Kay** is confirmed to appear at this show. **Tickets to Groove & Bass 2026 Official Pre-Party are available on Ticket Fairy: [Esc, Montréal, Québec](https://www.ticketfairy.com/event/groove-bass-2026-official-pre-party-10apr2026) | [Toronto, Ontario](https://www.ticketfairy.com/event/toronto-pre-party-groov-bass/?r=1636122)** ***Find more information on *** **You May Also Like:** [Lollapalooza Stacks Up Serious Electronic Firepower with John Summit, Major Lazer, WORSHIP and More](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2026/03/19/lollapalooza-stacks-up-serious-electronic-firepower-with-john-summit-major-lazer-worship-and-more) [Teej to Stop by Napier During New Zealand Tour](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2026/03/23/teej-to-stop-by-napier-during-new-zealand-tour) [Artists to See Live in Mexico in 2026: Gabriel & Dresden, Tom & Collins, and More](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2026/03/26/artists-to-see-live-in-mexico-in-2026-gabriel-dresden-tom-collins-and-more) Go ## The events in this story - [Fri 10 Apr 2026 · past Groove & Bass 2026 Official Pre-Party Esc, Montréal See the event](https://www.ticketfairy.com/event/groove-bass-2026-official-pre-party-10apr2026) [Everything on in Montréal](https://www.ticketfairy.com/events-in-montreal) - [Fri 17 Apr 2026 · past Toronto Pre-Party G&B Revival Bar, Toronto See the event](https://www.ticketfairy.com/event/toronto-pre-party-groov-bass) [Everything on in Toronto](https://www.ticketfairy.com/events-in-toronto) Share [X](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2026%2F03%2F31%2Fgroove-bass-throws-pre-party-bashes-in-montreal-and-toronto.md&text=Groove+%26+Bass+Throws+Pre-Party+Bashes+in+Montreal+and+Toronto) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2026%2F03%2F31%2Fgroove-bass-throws-pre-party-bashes-in-montreal-and-toronto.md) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Groove+%26+Bass+Throws+Pre-Party+Bashes+in+Montreal+and+Toronto+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fword%2F2026%2F03%2F31%2Fgroove-bass-throws-pre-party-bashes-in-montreal-and-toronto.md) ## Denver C Tracking stories in music with a focus on festivals, events, gigs, and sustainability.
