The lineup for the 56th edition of Festival d’Été de Québec is now complete! The festival has announced the remaining performing artists, who will rock the double stage at Parc de la Francophonie on July 10 and 13. Around ten names have been added added to the FEQ poster, including All Time Low, Silverstein, The Anti-Queens, Moneen and Cam Kahin, on July 10, then Blue Rodeo, Amanda Marshall, Sass Jordan, The Hello Darlins and Joffrey Charles on July 13.
With over 200 artists performing over the course of 11 days, Québec’s summer festival has more than enough music for any fan to enjoy. The eventful fest stands out among this summer’s music festivals by featuring the only summer festival performances by superstars like Post Malone, Jonas Brothers, and J Balvin. Rock music lovers have their pick of bands from all eras and subgenres, including radio heavyweights Nickelback, seasoned punk rockers The Offspring and Rise Against, hair metal mavens Mötley Crue, and metalcore legends Killswitch Engage. Hip-hop heads can enjoy legends like 50 Cent, Nas, and Killer Mike, plus rising names like TOBi. Pop fans will be thrilled to see artists like beloved Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen and “Sweet But Psycho” hitmaker Ava Max. Those looking for alternative and indie music can enjoy acclaimed acts like Fleet Foxes, Future Islands, Hurray For the Riff Raff, Mt. Joy, and Ben Howard. FEQ is known for its genre-focused nights, a country music hoedown headlined by Zac Brown Band, with Charley Crockett, and Morgan Wade, and of course, the always-incendiary EDM night, this year featuring an enviable Alan Walker and Loud Luxury double-bill. As always, the Festival shines a spotlight on the province of Québec’s most talented musicians, including composer/pianist Alexandra Stréliski, Polaris Prize-winning Montreal rock band Karkwa, and the soulful Quebecois group Clay and Friends, and brings diverse acts from across the globe, including red hot regional Mexican singer Ivan Cornejo, Malian performer Vieux Farka Touré, and Nigerien guitarist Bombino.
Taking the headlining spot at 9:15 PM on the Loto-Québec Stage will be the American band All Time Low. Before them at 8:00 PM on the SiriusXM Stage, we welcome Canadian quartet Silverstein. These flagship emo punk bands will be preceded by a lineup of talented artists, including Toronto punk-rockers The Anti-Queens and Brampton-based Moneen. Canadian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Cam Kahin will kick off the evening.
On July 13, the festival will present an entirely Canadian night led by the alternative country rock of the legendary Blue Rodeo on the Loto-Québec Stage at 9:15 PM. Singer-songwriter Amanda Marshall, a significant figure in Canadian music from the 90s, will take the SiriusXM Stage at 8:00 PM. The lineup also includes Sass Jordan, an iconic figure in Canadian rock, the folk country roots collective The Hello Darlins, and Gatineau native and former participant of La Voix Joffrey Charles, who will showcase his debut album early in the evening.
These artists will help make two unforgettable evenings at Parc de la Francophonie, as part of Festival d’été de Québec. The FEQ takes this opportunity to remind everyone that two free stages, where a pass is not required, are included in this year’s lineup: Scène Découverte at Place d’Youville and the Hydro-Québec Stage at Place de l’Assemblée-Nationale.
