Name a few bands you love and we'll scout all 90 acts on the Osheaga bill for the ones you shouldn't miss.
Osheaga is Canada's biggest festival weekend and still one of the best-situated on earth: three days on Parc Jean-Drapeau's island stages, with the Saint Lawrence on every side and Montreal's skyline across the water. The 2026 edition (the festival's 19th) runs 90 acts deep, with Twenty One Pilots, Tate McRae, and Lorde up top and a bill that mirrors the city itself: anglo indie rock and UK post-punk, francophone pop and pan-African club nights, techno tents and Cree folk-pop. Come for the headliners, stay for the metro ride home with ten thousand new friends.
Expect indie rock, hip-hop, house and pop across 90 acts.
Search it, filter by day, stage or genre.
