The icing on this cake is the announcement of three major headliners who will cap off each day’s concert line-up on the festival’s main stage. Twenty One Pilots (July 31) mark their return to Osheaga after a seven-year absence. This Grammy Award-winning duo will feature a set filled with their genre-blending sound and powerful stage presence.
Calgary native Tate McRae will make her Osheaga debut on August 1 with what has made her an international pop music sensation; this will be her sole Canadian festival appearance this year.
New Zealand-born songstress Lorde concludes the festival on August 2 with her third Osheaga appearance, as she delivers to festival goers her musical talents that merges a number of genres such as alt-pop, dream pop, indie and electropop.
This dynamic trio is part of the expansive line-up of 87 diverse artists representing an assortment of musical genres and styles, who grace Osheaga’s numerous concert stages throughout the festival. They include 26 artists from Canada and 14 homegrown Quebec artists, such as Wolf Parade, Tia Wood, Bob Moses, Mother Mother, Virginie B. and Super Plage.
