The 2024 edition of the POP Montreal music festival is happening deep into festival season, from Sept. 25 to 29, but here they are in May with an exciting lineup reveal.

As is the POP way, there are international music legends from a variety of genres in the mix for the festival’s 23rd edition, including prolific folk gospel singer Iris DeMent, funky Cash Money Records godfather Mannie Fresh, new age folk visionary Beverly Glenn-Copeland and Parisian new wave icons Edith Nylon.

Connoisseurs of the local scene have a lot to look forward to at POP Montreal 2024, with Stars and the Dears playing their albums Set Yourself on Fire and No Cities Left (each celebrating their 20th anniversary), an all-star tribute to beloved local singer-songwriter Lhasa de Sela (feat. Feist, Klô Pelgag etc) and shows by the Barr Brothers, Erika Angell, Kroy, Sunset Rubdown, Fernie, Unessential Oils, Homeshake, Alix Fernz, Sheenah Ko and more.

Other exciting names include Canadian rapper Skratch Bastid (who’ll be hosting a BBQ of sorts), Toronto singer-songwriter Luna Li, Argentinean singer and actress Juana Molina, Mexican singer-songwriter Silvana Estrada, Tucson indie rock band Calexico, L.A. producer/DJ Egpytian Lover, among many others.

POP Montreal will be revealing more bands, as well as the film, art, symposium and other programming goodies in the months to come.
