The story

Scream is a festival scheduled to take place on October 30-31, 2026, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It will feature a lineup that includes several notable artists and will be held at the Edmonton Expo Centre. The event is designed to cater to a diverse audience, showcasing various genres within the electronic music spectrum, and promises a vibrant atmosphere for attendees.

Scream is a 2-day electronic, edm festival at Edmonton Expo Centre in Edmonton, Canada. The October 2026 edition runs 30–31 Oct 2026.

Announced so far: Alesso, Sara Landry, Layz, Sullivan King, Tiësto, Jackie Hollander, HNTR and Ian Asher and 32 more. Expect stages split between Electronic and EDM. The line-up is spread across the 2 festival days, so a full-weekend ticket is the only way to catch every name.

Everything happens at Edmonton Expo Centre, in Edmonton. Edmonton is the base for the trip: it is where the affordable beds, the late trains and the after-parties are, and where prices climb fastest as the dates approach.

Scream keeps the same calendar slot each year: October 2026 for this edition, opening on a Friday and closing on a Saturday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in Edmonton are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

• Dates: Oct 30 - 31, 2026
• Headliners: Alesso, AniMe, Andrew Rayel
• Venue: Edmonton Expo Centre

What the trip costs from Paris

Door to door from Paris, a trip to Scream works out at roughly €1,008 per person on the cheapest combination we track — a higher-budget weekend, mostly because of the travel leg.

The ticket is only 4% of that: the rest is getting there and sleeping somewhere, which is exactly the part most ticket sites leave out.

Cheapest travel we price is air · 13h 25m each way, at €887 return.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Scream are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 3 nights rather than 2: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4Follow Scream on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
