POP Montreal International Music Festival

For five days in September, the city rocks out and sings along to the music of POP Montréal International Music Festival, a long-running, wide-ranging festival of indie rock, folk, electro, hip hop, punk, R&B and new music that defies genres, let alone the word “pop.”

Over 400 musicians rub shoulders with fans and industry members at POP Montréal. With venues ranging from classic theatres to intimate local bars and from rooftops to after-hours haunts, the festival traverses the city and its multiple music scenes.

Live music stands out as the festival's main focus, but the program is also packed with fascinating talks and workshops at the POP Symposium, visual arts exhibitions at Art POP, film screenings at Film POP, one-of-a-kind local creations at the Puces POP craft fair, Record Fair treasures, fun activities for kids and their families at Kids POP and more.
