Osheaga announces its first round of bands

by Mark Teo

It may only be February, but the Canadian summer festival news keeps on rolling out. WayHome, the Bonnaroo-affiliated Ontario festival, landed with a huge splash this week, but stalwart Montreal festival Osheaga won’t be outdone—and today, they’ve taken to Twitter to roll out their headliners one by one. These bros are stoked.

While the festival continues to announce names, they’ve already revealed a stacked lineup: Father John Misty, Avett Brothers, ScHoolboy Q, Run the Jewels, Interpol, Marina and the Diamonds, Kygo, and Stromae have all been confirmed. Dan Snaith, will perform twice, as Caribou and Daphni. More names are rolling out hourly.

The best part? This is only phase one of their rollout. Their headliners, along with 100 more bands, will be released on March 24. Will they tease the remaining acts in a poster puzzle, like they did last year? We’ll find out soon.
