The 2026 edition of the M for Montreal festival happens November 18-21, and they’ve just announced the Official Selection lineup, featuring rising Quebec and Canadian acts they think are ready for the next step. Last year’s Official Selection lineup included Angine de Poitrine and Truck Violence.
The 2026 lineup features lots of Montreal/QC artists, including Lisa LeBlanc, Le Ren, Geoffroy, Gabriella Olivo, Hélène Barbier, Béton Armé, Population II, Yoo Doo Right, Afrotronix, Mulch, Babyteeth, FAZE, zouz, and more. There are also a few Official Selection artists from elsewhere in Canada, including blind commentary, Lucette, cherry pick, and more.
