Nothing says “Sunday in Montreal” like dancing your heart away at Piknic. To make up for lost time, this season will now take place on Saturdays as well. There are currently seven events scheduled between July 3 and July 31.

The July 3 and 4 editions of Piknic Électronik will feature an all-Quebec lineup. Jesse Futerman and the Holy are among the Saturday headliners. Sunday’s roster features the likes of Regularfantasy, Mollygum and Honeydrip.

Mollygum will play at the SCÈNE Piknic on Sunday.

To compensate for the limited capacity, there will be two events each day, the first from 1 to 5 p.m. and 6 to 10 p.m. All of the DJs are scheduled to perform at two events on the same day. Masks and designated physical distancing areas will both be mandatory.

Tickets for the first two weekends of Piknic Électronik go on sale tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. All tickets must be purchased online, in advance.
