About this episode

The Francos de Montréal festival celebrates global French music with a nostalgic vibe and diverse performances.

The Francos de Montréal festival kicked off with a nostalgic, high-energy vibe, blending Quebec’s musical legacy with global Francophone sounds. Marie-Mai opened with a free, career-spanning set that honored her 20-year journey, from rock to pop and hinting at country, all while connecting deeply with fans. The festival celebrates not just Quebec, but a global French-speaking music scene — featuring artists from France, Algeria, Morocco, and beyond. This year’s lineup also pays tribute to Quebec’s rap scene with a special anniversary performance, blending veteran acts with fresh talent across multiple downtown stages. With free outdoor shows, ticketed concerts, and late-night sets, it’s a week-long musical feast for every generation. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
