“High in the Rockies, as winter begins to loosen its grip, something shifts,” said Bill Robinson, president of Aroabora Music Festival, in a release.
“The music mirrors the landscape – expansive, spiritual, and powerful. The spectacle isn’t just on stage – it’s all around you.”
General admission and weekend passes for Aroabora Mountain Music Festival are on sale now, with VIP packages also available.
A stellar lineup of artists has been announced for the inaugural festival, including A-Trak, Simon Doty and CRi on Friday.
Guests on Saturday will dance beneath the northern sky to huge acts like Parra for Cuva, MC4D, and bradeazy.

Aroabora is also hosting a free Community Session, open to all ages and all members of the Banff community, on Saturday, March 28, from 12 to 3 p.m.
The daytime gathering will feature art installations, local food trucks, and music in the mountain air for locals to gather and play.
“Aroabora’s sound is defined by Boreal Techno – melodic, cinematic, and deeply atmospheric electronic music shaped by altitude, aurora, and stone,” added festival organizers in a statement. “Designed as a true-to-place experience, Aroabora invites attendees to ski by day, dance by night, and connect through music under a canopy of stars.
“Snow-covered slopes become the dance floor; the aurora and night sky become the light show.”
