LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN! AND LET’S TAKE A LOOK BACK: OSHEAGA 25-26

It’s another big year for OSHEAGA — Canada’s biggest music festival.

Headliners such as Kehlani, Lorde, Gunna, Twenty One Pilots, Tate McRae, Clipse, Empire of the Sun, Subtronics, The xx and more are set to take the stage.

If you’ve never been, expect the most ECLECTIC music festival in the country (yes, it’s basically the Canadian Coachella), amazing activities on site all weekend long and, of course, fashion.

Last year? Epic.

Many festivalgoers said OSHEAGA was officially back on track with the hottest festival lineup in Canada. 👀

This year? Let’s see.

On the local scene, we’re especially looking forward to interviewing Montréal artist Fernie, who performs on the closing day of the festival. HOW COOL?

And our official OSHEAGA setlist? Stay tuned as we discover this year’s lineup together. Don’t forget to follow our playlist on Spotify.

A Quick Look Back at Last Year’s Highlights

Jorja Smith brought her electrifying UK R&B sound to Montréal, while Shaboozey had the crowd singing along to his modern country hits just after A Bar Song (Tipsy) became one of the biggest songs of 2024.

The Killers revived everyone’s millennial indie-rock era. If you weren’t screaming Mr. Brightside, were you even there?

Olivia Rodrigo gave us one of the strongest performances of the entire weekend. A movie, you say? We lived it. Her style feels like the perfect mix of nostalgic girl-band energy and modern pop-star power.

Rap fans were also treated to Tyler, The Creator’s unmatched creativity, stage presence and chaotic energy.

Meanwhile, we got to witness Doechii perform right as she was rising on the charts — the kind of festival moment you truly can’t take for granted.

OSHEAGA 2025 undeniably had one of the festival’s strongest atmospheres in years, thanks to a lineup that brought together multiple generations of music fans at once.

And yes, we have to talk about The Chainsmokers performing in the rain after fans waited nearly 45 minutes for lightning and thunder to pass.

(Did we stay in the crowd hoping for the best? Absolutely.)

Other memorable performances worth mentioning: Gracie Abrams, Glass Animals, Lost Frequencies, Gigi Perez, Amaarae and TallandSkinny.

What do you think about this year’s lineup? Let us know.

And outside of the music, what’s your favourite part about attending these events?

Is it the incredible food vendors? The fearless fashion and high-energy crowds? The immersive brand activations?

We can’t wait to see everyone come to life again under the stage lights and summer skies.

See you soon, festies!
