SPILL NEWS: POP MONTREAL ANNOUNCES INITIAL 2016 LINEUP + ON TOUR THIS MAY

POP MONTREAL ANNOUNCES INITIAL 2016 LINEUP + ON TOUR IN EUROPE THIS MAY

AWAKE FOR REAL. POP Montreal returns this fall. The legends are coming back, along with the weirdos, the influencers, the icons and the groundbreakers. Here is a taste:

French composer and synth funk genius Wally Badarou, who collaborated with everyone from Grace Jones to Jimmy Cliff and the Talking Heads; the enchanting singer-songwriter Angel Olsen; the truly iconic filmmaker and author John Waters; as well as Miami Bass gods 69 Boyz, who will be sharing a bill with next level Jersey club kween, Uniiqu3.

POP will also feature the enigmatic psychedelic pop-smith Michael Angelo; the groundbreaking experimental punk band Psychic TV, led by Genesis P-Orridge, who will also give a one-off talk during the POP Symposium; Domino Recording artists The Kills, and maybe our new favourite new pop band, Diet Cig.

Other highlights include the Canadian Premiere of Colin Stetson’s Sorrow, a reimagining of Gorecki’s Symphony No. 3 with an 11-piece orchestra and the multi-talented Seth Bogart, who will grace us with new music and showcase his sharp artistic mind and recent ceramic sculptures in an exclusive, multimedia, site-specific installation as part of this year’s Art POP.

It’s the best party and the best time. It’s the best festival.
