Set amidst the lush environs of Parc Jean-Drapeau, three-year-old Osheaga returns with a awesome line-up of sets this August 3 and 4. Jack Johnson, The Killers, Iggy and the Stooges and Broken Social Scene are but a sampling of the who’s who headlining this year’s festival.
The festival may still be in its infancy, but its programming is wise beyond its years. Osheaga continues to offer a kicker line-up of established names, home-grown talent (and as we all know, there’s plenty where that comes from!), plus lots of emerging indie scenesters. In between titillating your tympanic membranes with excellent music, make sure to stop to admire the art— visual, multimedia/performance—on display and browse the cool merchandise for sale. Part of Osheaga’s pull also lies in its decidedly eco-friendly approach and downplaying of mega-bucks corporate sponsors. So get ready to kick back in the fresh outdoors and the artists will do their part in seducing your eyes and ears.
