August 15–16 | Parc Jean-Drapeau, Montréal
Lasso Montréal 2025 came in hot and left us with hearts full of country love, boots covered in dust, and memories that’ll last longer than a summer sunset. Over two days, the festival delivered high-energy performances, emotional moments, and a whole lot of line dancing.
Here’s the roundup:
Day 1 Highlights – August 15
Bailey Zimmerman kicked off the party like a country superhero—literally bursting out of his stage setup and swinging in on a Tarzan-style rope. His 14-song set was pure adrenaline, ending with a triple punch of Religiously, All The Way, and Rock and a Hard Place. Bonus points for surprise cameos from Shaboozey and Cameron Witcomb.



Sheryl Crow brought the nostalgia and rock royalty vibes. The crowd sang every word like it was 1996 again, proving that her classics are timeless and her voice still golden.



Shaboozey, fresh off his Osheaga appearance, returned to Montréal with swagger and gave fans what they wanted—Tipsey, not once but twice. The crowd was loving it, and so was he.



Day 2 Highlights – August 16
Jelly Roll closed out the festival with a performance that was equal parts heart, soul, and southern charm. His smile lit up the stage, and his connection with the crowd was palpable. The most touching moment? Dedicating Winning Streak to a fan named Mike who had just gotten sober. Then, reading a message about someone’s mother who couldn’t be there and offering love—goosebumps all around.



Riley Green brought the grit and the grin. While his energy felt a bit dialed down, his voice was on point. He made hearts flutter and brought Dasha on stage for Don’t Mind If I Do and You Look Like You Love Me, giving us a sweet duet moment.



Tucker Wetmore had the crowd eating out of his hand—pure charisma and stage control.



The Dead South and Quebec Redneck Bluegrass Project proudly repped Canada, reminding everyone that our country music scene is alive, well, and wildly talented.






Dasha was a firecracker—flirting with the crowd, jumping into crowd for a bit line dancing, and just being an all-around good time. Her energy was infectious.



Cameron Witcomb, unfortunately, had a rough set plagued by mic issues and delays. He managed to squeeze in a few songs, including Quitter, but it was a tough break for this rising star.
