On The Table Read Magazine, “the best arts and entertainment magazine UK“, don’t miss OSHEAGA 2026! Twenty One Pilots, Tate McRae, and Lorde headline an epic 87-artist lineup at Montréal’s Parc Jean-Drapeau, delivering the ultimate summer festival experience packed with genre-spanning stars, massive Canadian talent, and unforgettable vibes.
OSHEAGA Music and Arts Festival, presented by Bell in collaboration with Coors Light, returns for its 19th edition from July 31 to August 2, 2026, once again transforming Montréal’s scenic Parc Jean-Drapeau into the beating heart of live music in North America. The festival has dropped its complete 2026 lineup in a single blockbuster reveal, featuring 87 artists across multiple stages and a dynamic mix of global superstars, genre-blending headliners, and breakout talent.


Monumental Headliners Close Each Night
The weekend kicks off with a high-energy bang on Friday, July 31, as Twenty One Pilots close out the first day. Making their long-awaited return to OSHEAGA since 2015, the Grammy Award-winning duo will deliver their signature genre-defying sound, explosive stage presence, and massive hits including “Stressed Out,” “Ride,” and “Heathens.”
Saturday, August 1 belongs to Tate McRae, who makes her OSHEAGA debut in what will be her only Canadian festival appearance of 2026. The Calgary-born pop sensation, riding high on chart-topping anthems like “greedy,” “you broke me first,” “exes,” “she’s all i wanna be,” “revolving door,” “just keep watching,” and “sports car,” is set to deliver a powerful, emotional set fresh off her sold-out Bell Centre show.
Sunday, August 2 closes the festival on a transcendent note with Lorde making her third OSHEAGA appearance (following 2014 and 2017). The alt-pop visionary, known for era-defining tracks such as “Royals,” “Team,” “Green Light,” “Liability,” “Supercut,” and “Tennis Court,” brings her acclaimed live show to Parc Jean-Drapeau after major 2026 festival slots including Governors Ball and Mad Cool.


A Genre-Spanning Lineup Bridging Pop, Rock, Hip-Hop, and Electronic
OSHEAGA 2026 continues the festival’s tradition of curating a forward-thinking program that spans generations and genres. Pop takes center stage with returning favorite Zara Larsson (third OSHEAGA appearance and fresh off a Grammy nomination for “Midnight Sun”), the long-awaited comeback of The xx, and compelling new voice SOMBR.
On the rock and alternative front, 2026 GRAMMY winners Turnstile lead the charge alongside The Neighbourhood (“Sweater Weather”), breakout band Geese, Scottish icons Franz Ferdinand (“Take Me Out”), and Canadian legends Wolf Parade, whose viral resurgence of “I’ll Believe in Anything” has introduced the band to a new generation.
Hip-hop shines with melodic trap heavyweight Gunna, while electronic and global sounds come from Major Lazer (back on tour for the first time since 2019 after their 2026 Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony performance) and Australian electro-pop visionaries Empire of the Sun, making their OSHEAGA and Montréal debut.
Additional highlights include Kehlani, JID, Wet Leg, SUBTRONICS, YOASOBI, Finn Wolfhard, Max McNown, and many more.
Celebrating Canadian Talent: 26 Artists, 14 from Québec
Supporting homegrown talent remains a cornerstone of OSHEAGA’s identity. This year’s edition features 26 Canadian artists, including 14 from Québec. Standouts include Wolf Parade, Mother Mother, Bob Moses, Tia Wood, Billie du Page, Virginie B, Vandelux, Moses Belanger, Super Plage, and more. From SiriusXM Backyard Sessions breakthroughs to main-stage veterans, the festival continues to champion the vibrant Canadian music scene.
The Osheaga Experience: Music, Atmosphere, and Impact
Beyond the stacked lineup, OSHEAGA is renowned for its immersive atmosphere. Set on an iconic island in the St. Lawrence River with Montréal’s skyline as a backdrop, the festival blends urban energy with natural beauty. Expect high-quality food, curated experiences, spontaneous connections, and unforgettable sunset-to-late-night moments that keep fans returning year after year.
A portion of every ticket sold—$1 per ticket—will be donated to the evenko foundation to provide musical instruments to schools in need across Québec.
