OSHEAGA 2026 IN MONTREAL: LORDE, TWENTY ONE PILOTS, TATE McRAE, GEESE AND 85 MORE!

OSHEAGA Music and Arts Festival, presented by Bell in collaboration with Coors Light, returns for its 19th edition, once again transforming Montréal’s stunning Parc Jean-Drapeau into the epicenter of live music from July 31 to August 2, 2026. Over three unforgettable days, festivalgoers will experience world-class performances, genre-defining artists, and the electric atmosphere that has made OSHEAGA one of North America’s most celebrated summer festivals.

For 2026, OSHEAGA unveils its complete lineup in one highly anticipated reveal, spotlighting three major headliners set to deliver landmark performances. True to its reputation, the festival’s booking team has curated a dynamic program that bridges genres and generations, bringing together global superstars, rising talent, and tomorrow’s breakout acts all in one place. With 87 artists across multiple stages, this year’s edition invites music lovers to discover their next obsession.

Twenty One Pilots will set the tone for the weekend, closing out the first day of the festival on Friday, July 31. Returning to OSHEAGA for the first time since their 2015 appearance, the Grammy Award–winning duo will bring their genre-blending sound, dynamic stage presence, and global hits like the billion-view anthem “Stressed Out,” along with “Ride,” and “Heathens” to a high-impact opening night that will have the entire park singing along late into the summer evening. As Saturday’s closing act, Calgary-born global pop sensation Tate McRae will make her OSHEAGA debut with her only Canadian festival appearance of 2026, with no other Canadian dates currently announced. Fresh off a sold-out Bell Centre show and armed with chart -topping anthems including “greedy,” “you broke me first,” “exes,” “she’s all i wanna be,” “revolving door,” “just keep watching,” and “sports car,” she is poised to deliver one of the festival’s most powerful and unforgettable moments. Alt-pop visionary Lorde will close out the festival on Sunday, marking her third appearance at OSHEAGA (following previous performances in 2014 and 2017). Known for blending alt-pop, dream pop, indie and electropop, Lorde has delivered defining anthems such as “Royals,” “Team,” “Ribs,” “Green Light,” “Liability,” “Supercut,” “Tennis Court,” and “Homemade Dynamite.” Following her dynamic performance at the Bell Centre last year and a series of upcoming major 2026 headlining festival appearances, including The Governors Ball in New York City and Mad Cool in Spain, her return to Parc Jean-Drapeau promises a powerful and unifying finale to the weekend.

This year’s edition reflects the festival’s continued evolution, with pop at the forefront, rock at its core, and hip-hop shaping the cultural pulse. On the indie-rock front, 2026 GRAMMY Award winners Turnstile, now firmly established as one of the biggest rock bands in the world, are featured alongside modern rock favorites The Neighbourhood, best known for their 11× Platinum-certified hit “Sweater Weather,” breakout alternative band Geese, and Scottish indie-rock icons Franz Ferdinand, who rose to prominence in the early 2000s and continue to resonate across generations with their defining anthem “Take Me Out.” Hip-hop will be well represented across the weekend, highlighted by the return of melodic rap heavyweight Gunna, a defining figure in modern trap. Electronic and global sounds will energize the park with Major Lazer, back on tour for the first time since 2019 and fresh off a high-profile performance at the Closing Ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Verona, while visionary Australian duo Empire of the Sun make their long-awaited OSHEAGA and Montréal debut. With a lineup largely led by pop, festivalgoers can expect an exhilarating set from global star Zara Larsson as she returns to Parc Jean-Drapeau for her third appearance at OSHEAGA. Fresh off her first GRAMMY nomination for her 2025 single “Midnight Sun,” Larsson continues to solidify her place as one of pop’s leading voices. The long-awaited return of The xx, alongside breakout act SOMBR, one of the most compelling new voices in alternative pop, further underscores the genre’s strong presence this year. The lineup also features Kehlani, Max McNown (who also appears on this year’s LASSO Montréal lineup), SUBTRONICS, YOASOBI, Finn Wolfhard, JID, Wet Leg, and more.

As always, OSHEAGA is committed to showcasing and supporting incredible Canadian talent, a core part of the festival’s DNA since its inception. This year is no exception! The 2026 lineup features 26 Canadian artists, including 14 homegrown artists from Québec, who will take the stage alongside international headliners. Supporting local artists, from established names to emerging voices, remains a fundamental pillar of OSHEAGA. From breakthrough acts featured at the SiriusXM Backyard Sessions to celebrated Canadian performers commanding the main stages, the festival continues to shine a spotlight on the very best our country has to offer. Among them is Wolf Parade, whose recent viral resurgence of their iconic single “I’ll Believe in Anything” has introduced the band to a new generation of listeners, reaffirming the lasting influence of Canadian indie rock. The lineup also includes Tia Wood, Billie du Page, Bob Moses, Virginie B, Vandelux, Moses Belanger, Mother Mother, Super Plage, and more, reflecting the vibrant diversity and creative strength of Canada’s music scene. Together, they reinforce that OSHEAGA is not only a global music destination, but also a proud celebration of talent from our own backyard.

From chart-dominating pop to boundary-pushing rock, hip-hop innovators, and global electronic icons, OSHEAGA 2026 strikes a bold balance between mainstream power and underground influence, offering something unforgettable for every kind of music fan.
