CONCERTS IN MONTREAL : MARCH, APRIL, MAY 2010

Posted by

Like the city itself, Montreal’s concert scene begins to heat up in the spring before exploding into an almost-overwhelming array of music when the summer festival season rolls around…

There’s a little something for everyone in this list, but the shows that really stand out are the ones that fall into the “once in a lifetime” category. Peter Gabriel with an orchestra? Sign me up. Simon & Garfunkel?!? My dad actually emailed me from a beach in Mexico to ask about getting him tickets to that show. Which brings up a good point: while some of these concerts are not happening for a while, don’t wait to buy your tickets or you’ll be forced to go the scalper route.

After all, if your trip to Montreal already has a Simon & Garfunkel concert on the itinerary, the blog you’re currently reading is more than equipped to fill up the rest of your schedule with great stuff to eat, see and do…
