Winter has finally settled in, and we are officially 7 days away from the 16th edition of IGLOOFEST! Our favourite festive storm will hit hard starting next Thursday, January 18, armed with a multitude of artists ready to take on the challenge of the great cold dance. In all its diversity, the world’s wildest audience can count on the unmissable performances of big names from the global electronic scene, such as Diplo, Armin van Buuren, Eric Prydz, Miss Monique, The Blaze, Marc Rebillet, REZZ,and many others! Of course, the tireless night owls can go all the way into the night thanks to the Après-Ski parties. Families will also enjoy the euphoria that Igloofest spreads every year in Old Montreal by participating in the free daytime events under the Igloofête banner every Saturday afternoon. And if you felt that the storms were missing in recent weeks, you are now fulfilled: this one will indeed impact all of us!
Two hot weekends in the middle of January
Igloofest Montréal’s 16th edition promises to be unforgettable from the get-go. On Thursday, January 18, the Sapporo stage will be stormed by two musical sensations: the one-of-a-kind whirlwind, Marc Rebillet, and the ultimate raver, Partiboi69. The following day, Canada’s atypical (and luminous) REZZ will return to the festival with their intoxicating bass that marked our 2020 winter. And to cap off the first weekend, enjoy NTO and Joachim Pastor’s poignant melodies and catchy rhythms, to gracefully break the ice!
The second weekend is set to keep winter warriors moving, with inventive and hypnotic minimal techno maestro, Stephan Bodzin, kicking things off on Thursday, January 25. On Friday, January 26, it’s Diplo‘s turn — always eagerly anticipated, this distinguished American producer flirts with all styles (rap, EDM and house). His performances are always unique and not to be missed! Before Diplo takes the stage, the Detroit duo Floorplan (veteran Robert Hood and his protégé) will set the tone. On Saturday, January 27, trance king Armin van Buuren will make a legendary appearance for the first time with us.
And after the festival? Join us for Après-Ski evenings!
As announced, Montreal’s favourite festive storm will be hitting hard from January 18 to February 10. Following its regular schedule at Quai Jacques-Cartier, the party will be making waves across Old Montreal, from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. in some twenty Après-Ski evenings! On the agenda, the English star Quest, the Moroccan headliner Ahmed Spins, the eclectic sounds of the German Tony Y Not, the new House sensation AIRRICA, the elegant vibes of the Sleep D duo (in a DJ set), and many other prolific artists from the local and international scene at Velvet, Auberge Saint-Gabriel, Francesco’s, and Soubois.
