îLESONIQ, presented by Bell, is gearing up for its 10th edition, and the excitement is already building with the announcement of two iconic headliners: John Summit and Illenium. This milestone edition, taking place on August 9 and 10, 2025, at Parc Jean-Drapeau, promises an unforgettable weekend of music, dancing and unique experiences, all in celebration of a decade of Montreal’s favourite electronic music festival! As always, remember you can get the party started early with îLESONIQ in the City, the official pre-party happening downtown on Friday, August 8 (more details to come!).
John Summit. Need we say more? Recently nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Album of the Year at the Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs), the Chicago-born DJ and producer has taken the global house music scene by storm, bringing infectious beats and a high-energy vibe that resonates with fans across the world. Montreal is no exception – this September, Summit played to a sold-out crowd at the Olympic Park! With chart-topping hits like “Deep End” and “Where You Are”, Summit has become one of the most in-demand names in electronic music today. Summit’s first-ever performance at îLESONIQ will be nothing short of an all-out celebration, setting the tone for what will undoubtedly be one of the festival’s most unforgettable years.
Illenium is poised to bring his deeply immersive and emotionally charged set back to îLESONIQ. After lighting up the MIRAGE stage earliy in his career in 2017 and headlining b2b Excision in 2022, Illenium will finally deliver a solo headlining performance on the Bell OASIS super stage! Known for his unique blend of melodic bass, rock influences, and powerful anthems, Illenium has crafted a sound that resonates with listeners on a personal level. Hits like “Good Things Fall Apart” and “Crawl Outta Love” have cemented his place as a fan favourite, and his live shows are a true experience. Illenium’s ability to connect with fans through his music creates moments of pure magic.
