Osheaga has started releasing some of its 2019 artists!

On the first day of Spring, Montreal festival Osheaga had a few surprises in store for its fans!

The first announcement was more of a logistical one, about Osheaga’s homecoming to its native grounds of Parc Jean Drapeau, after two years of taking place on Île Saint-Hélène during renovations.

On Thursday, one of the festival’s sponsors Bell Alt Télé also announced the first act on the lineup!  After a performance at the Mile Ex End music festival in 2017, Dallas Green’s acoustic project City and Colour will be back in Montreal this summer!

 

Last but not least, Osheaga has launched a little interactive game on its website to give its fans a little sneak peek at the full lineup! The experience features 6 beautiful postcards designed by some amazing illustrators! The game? Each day, email the postcards to some of your friends, and find out 6 new artists from the lineup!

Since the launch of the game on Thursday, the festival has confirmed some very exciting acts: Tame Impala, Beach House, JPEGMAFIA, Lennon Stella, Black Tiger Sex Machine, 070 Shake, Dean Lewis, SuicideBoys, Two Feet, Mac DeMarco, Sofi Tukker, U.S. Girls, Nombe, Sharon Van Etten, Real Estate, Denzel Curry, DJ Koze, Anders and Clairo.

Osheaga is set to release the full line up this Tuesday, so come back here then for our take on it! In the meantime, more artists will be uncovered daily through the game on Osheaga’s website, so stay tuned!

Osheaga 2019 will take place in Montreal August 2nd – 4th. Tickets will go on sale on Tuesday at noon. In the meantime, Diamond passes are already available on the festival’s website.
