Festivals: The return of international artists

The Oshoka Festival announced its three titles today.

The Oshoka Festival announced its three titles today. The American group Fu Fighters, whose presence was recently released, has been added to the 2022 edition of the popular festival with the participation of British singer-songwriter Dua Lipa and American rapper A $ AB Rocky.

Foo Fighters will perform on Friday, July 29, A $ AP Rocky on Saturday, July 30 and Dua Lipa on Sunday, July 31 on the main stage of the Île Sainte-Hélène in Montreal.

The announcement by the trio of international leaders marks a return to normalcy, which was widely expected by music lovers and event organizers.

“We work at 15^e Oshika’s Anniversary … We can not wait to deliver this special edition, which has to be postponed three times, says Nick Fergus, Vice President of Ivanko’s Events, Conferences and Events and Oshiaka’s Founder. We were finally able to finally announce our titles for 2022 and it is a wonderful feeling to see how excited people are to see international artists again. “

On the side of Franோois de Montreal, the names of Luitzi and Clara Luciani (from France) and British singer Jane Birkin also bear hope. Birkin will be at the Lloyd’s Club Soda on June 15, and Louisiana at MTELUS on the same evening, and on June 16, 2022 at Theatre Mysenno in Place des Arts.

FEQ will be released in 2022

In Quebec City, the Summer Festival does not follow Oshika by releasing the content of its programming too quickly. “We do not expect to make any announcements by the end of this year,” said Samantha McKinley, director of communications.

The only known title for 2022 is the American rock band Rage Against the Machine, which was already scheduled to perform at FEQ 2020, but was canceled due to an epidemic.

The FEQ organization does not know when its 2022 poster will be released, but says we are well aware of the tendency for festivals to announce events earlier than usual.
