The festival featured dozens of diverse acts, including headliners Maribou State, Public Enemy, NxWorries and Alessia CaraRifflandia, Victoria's largest arts and culture festival, was nothing short of entertaining and diverse as dozens of acts performed across four days in Rock Bay from Sept. 11-14. Genre-bending was the name of the game, with alternative/indie one moment, trap music another, continuing on to hip-hop, rock, R&B and more. While a party atmosphere permeated throughout the festival, there were also pockets of calm and relaxation. Shhhlandia, a zone for the sensory sensitive, included bean bag lounge chairs; Chillandria lounge offered a place of respite; and Kidlandria enhanced the festival's family-friendly appeal. Other Rifflandia 2025 highlights included The Victoria Symphony plays Daft Punk, The Funk Hunters feat Chali 2na, Shakey Graves, Macy Gray, Sleater-Kinney, The Dead South, Walk off the Earth and William Prince.
