Pop Montreal is back for its 20th edition, happening September 22 - 26 at venues all over the city. Like last year, it will be a scaled-down hybrid version of the festival featuring in-person shows and virtual events. The 2021 lineup is very Montreal, with Backxwash, SUUNS, The Dears, Cadence Weapon, The Besnard Lakes all playing, as well as Cakes da Killa, Soccer Mommy, Le Ren, Chiiild, Laura Niquay, Vaille, ALL HANDS/MAKE LIGHT, Marie-Pierre Arthur, and more. Check out the full lineup below.
The festival notes that for in-person shows, "the current Covid 19 protocols will be applied and a health pass will be required at the entrance of the concerts. If you are planning to attend a performance, you MUST purchase your tickets online in advance. There will be no tickets available at the door."
There are also no full festival passes this year, but they hope to bring that back next year when things are, fingers crossed, more normal. Tickets for individual shows are on sale now.
In addition to the music festival, Pop Montreal will also be holding film, art, kids and fashion events. Head to Pop's website for details.
