As planned, Osheaga announced its remaining lineup last night, and along with its previously announced high-billed acts, Snoop Dogg, Sigur Rós (!), Metric, Feist, City and Colour (aka the Canadian indie rock class of early 2000s—you go, kids) and MGMT will headline.
Some other acts of note are Garbage and Brand New, because nostalgia reigns supreme; the decreasingly mysterious Weeknd (three shows a year is just TOO MUCH to keep up that enigma status, NEXT), A$AP Rocky because hip hop’s the new indie rock, plus a whole slew of others like Austra, James Vincent McMorrow, The Walkmen, Aloe Blacc, and…Down With Webster????? Keeping the dream alive.
Check out the poster above for a full list. Osheaga takes place August 3-5 at Montreal’s Parc Jean Drapeau, and tickets go on sale on Friday.
