Osheaga teases 2014 lineup in poster puzzle

It’s only March, but so far, we’ve already seen plenty of festivals unveil parts of their lineup: NXNE has revealed bits of their extensive 2014 roster, Field Trip announced Constantines and Broken Social Scene reunions (much to the dismay of Stars’ Torquil Campbell), and TURF unveiled a 44-artist roster. Until now, though, there had been no mention of, perhaps, the most anticipated of summer festivals: Montreal’s Osheaga.
Well, things have changed. The festival, running from August 1 to 4 at Parc Jean Drapeau, recently unveiled a mural hinting at who’ll be playing this year’s fest. They’re also holding a contest at their web site—based on the poster, make your predictions about this year’s lineup by Monday, March 11, and you’ll be eligible to win a pair of passes to the fest. Even better? The top 10 guesses will received silk-screened posters of the mural.
We won’t ruin the fun for you, but we’re already seeing esoteric clues leap off the page: Is that the church of the Lorde we spot? A Gogol Bordello film poster? Nick’s Caverne? Jousteece’s Cross atop Mont Royale? OK, OK, we’ll stop making guesses—head over to Osheaga.com or click the image up top for a high resolution version of the poster.
