The legendary Montreal festival has announced the full lineup for its 19th edition, with Twenty One Pilots, Tate McRae, and Lorde headlining this year. The complete lineup features 87 acts set to perform at Parc Jean-Drapeau from July 31st to August 2nd.
For Friday, we’ll see Twenty One Pilots returning to the lineup for the first time since 2015. The first day features a mix of new and returning artists like Wet Leg, Wolf Alice, and Geese, all of whom have played to sold-out Montreal crowds recently. The xx, The Neighbourhood, and Kehlani will play as the sun starts going down, closing out with Twenty One Pilots. The main stage will surely be packed with “the clique” all day, especially since Montreal missed out on “The Breach Tour.”
Saturday is another stacked day with Turnstile, Franz Ferdinand, and Finn Wolfhard covering the rock side of things before moving toward the pop end of the night with Sombr and Tate McRaeclosing out. Tate McRae returns to Montreal after a very successful Bell Centre show just last summer.
Sunday offers the most variety of the three days, combining many genres across multiple stages. Not for Radio, Mother Mother, and Major Lazer are some of the highlights before Lorde wraps up the festival. This will be her third time playing the Montreal festival since 2014. I’m particularly excited to catch Sofia Isella earlier in the day after having missed her show at Fairmount last October.
This year, Osheaga is showcasing 14 artists from Quebec, including Billie du Page, Mother Mother, and Oliver Forest. It’s great to see that the festival puts focus into the local scene every year while still bringing in some of the biggest names in music.
