Florence + the Machine, Black Keys, The Shins, and the Walkmen playing Osheaga?

by Nicole Villeneuve

Consequence of Sound’s Festival Outlook site has predicted, based primarily on touring schedules, that Florence + the Machine, the Black Keys, the Shins, and the Walkmen will be playing this year’s Osheaga festival, which will take place August 3-5 at Montreal’s Parc Jean-Drapeau.

There’s been no official announcement from Osheaga yet, but the dates do line up. The Black Keys, who have played the festival in 2008 and in 2010, just announced a Molson Amphitheatre show for Saturday, August 4, with the Shins as openers. And of course Florence recently announced a Toronto date for August 2, at which the Walkmen will be opening.

Let the speculation begin continue!
