Montreal’s Osheaga Music and Arts Festival is gearing up for a major return this summer, with Tate McRae, Twenty One Pilots, and Lorde set to headline its 19th edition. The three-day event runs July 31 through Aug. 2 at Parc Jean-Drapeau, continuing the festival’s tradition of pairing two solo pop powerhouses with a prominent band at the top of the bill.
Opening night will belong to Twenty One Pilots, marking their first Osheaga appearance in more than a decade. The duo — Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun — now return as headliners after years of arena success. They’ll share the spotlight with artists including The xx, Geese, Kehlani and Wet Leg.
On Saturday, Calgary-born pop sensation Tate McRae takes center stage for her Osheaga debut (notably, Osheaga is currently her only scheduled performance of 2026.) Saturday’s lineup also features Sombr, Turnstile, Mt. Joy and Empire of the Sun.
Closing out the weekend, Lorde will headline Sunday night in support of her fourth studio album, Virgin. She previously topped the Osheaga bill in 2017 during the Melodrama era and is also slated for major festival appearances across North America this season, including stops in New York and Toronto. Joining her on the final night are Gunna, Major Lazer, Clipse and Zara Larsson.
As one of Canada’s largest and most genre-spanning festivals, Osheaga once again blends indie rock, hip-hop, electronic and pop. The lineup includes Franz Ferdinand, Little Simz, Of Monsters and Men, JID, Viagra Boyz, Subtronics, Horse Girl and Oklou, among many others.
