Rifflandia is offering cannabis delivery at this year's festival.
There will be an online ordering system and onsite delivery for those aged 19 and over who want to consume cannabis products at the event. The designated delivery point at the annual Victoria music festival will be called “Splifflandia'' and will be working with a Health Canada-certified retailer and delivery company. According to a 2022 study, 37 percent of festival-goers use cannabis. Rifflandia says offering Health Canada-certified products through a licensed retailer with strict age verification will help to provide a safe and traceable supply. Orders will be able to be placed in advance or in real time. The festival is asking attendees to leave their stash at home. Rifflandia's Electric Avenue is taking place downtown in the Arts and Innovation District September 7 to 9, and Royal Athletic Park from September 15 to 17. The former festival’s lineup features Paris Hilton, Run The Jewels, Chris Lake and A-Trak. The latter park festival features Iggy Pop, Diplo, Salt-N-Pepa, Herbie Hancock and Stephen Marley. Other notable acts taking to The Park include rock band KALEO, whose songs have been streamed more than four billion times, singer-songwriter Matt Maeson and more. Both stages are all-ages, and the festival said that the locations will expand its footprint and operating hours, also adding a VIP area to the fold.
