Yikes! 10 YEARS! Nuts, crazy, BIG TIME!

Lots of highlights over the years : Patti Smith at the Gothic St Jean Baptiste Church! Interpol at the tiny Jupiter Room! Poutine with Rocky Erickson! Treats with Devin the Dude! And intense drives with Buffy Ste Marie, Roxanne Shante and many many more. OK! the show goes on. Let's get ready to rawk a 10th anniversary party like the world ended while the sun kept shining and everybody could eat tacos till 5am. WOOHOO!

Here's a sneak peak at a little bit of what we have planned.

CHROMEO - our homies will be spreading some of that sexy electrofunk, hometown style – while the legendary all female British post-punk band THE RAINCOATS will give an exclusive North American appearance. Another legendary punk rock band, REDD KROSS will also be making an exclusive performance at the fest. The otherwordly tUnE-yArDs will return to Montreal after a sold out show in May. There's a ton more, 300 bands, all kinds of stuff, our glorious segments (SYMPOSIUM, FILM POP, PUCES POP, KIDS POP and ART POP) musicals, basketball, showcases, tributes, rap, friends, Baul music, booty, party, party, party, party, party!!!
