Country on the island: two days at Parc Jean-Drapeau where Nashville headliners share four stages with Québécois and Canadian acts.

LASSO is Montreal's country weekend, on the same Parc Jean-Drapeau island that hosts Osheaga and îLESONIQ earlier in the month. The fifth edition runs two days across four stages, with Nashville names at the top and a deep Québécois and Canadian undercard beneath them. That mix is the whole idea. LASSO in the City takes over downtown Montréal on the Friday before the gates open.
Thomas Rhett closes Saturday and Mumford & Sons close Sunday, the second of those a reminder that LASSO reads "country" generously. Jon Pardi and Koe Wetzel take Saturday's other main slots; Old Dominion and the Turnpike Troubadours anchor Sunday. The Sirius XM Backyard sessions stage runs a smaller songwriter format all weekend, and every act's day, stage and start time is published.
Expect country, folk, pop country and indie folk across 36 acts.
