Great undercard. Looks like this will be the first year I don't see at least part of the headliner sets. Definitely skipping The Black Keys and Kendrick Lamar if anything decent is on. Hoping for Hot Chip and Caribou sets on the green stage during the headliners.

Well Lollapalooza got Paul McCartney and Metallica, but didn't get The Decemberists, The Kills, Weezer, St. Vincent, Father John Misty, Caribou...
I actually prefer a better undercard to huge headliners, so I'm glad Osheaga went that route.

Lolla's Lineup is certainly pretty solid. But there are some good gems we got that they don't have. I'm a little old school, so having Guster and The Thurston Moore is pretty sweet.
I was initially a little disappointed in the lack of a real big headliner (still am) But now that I've had some time to sit with it, the additions are good and there are a lot of acts that I want to see.
Lolla's great, but also so big... I still favor Osheaga!

Unfortunately I don't have that info - I would use the contact link on the website, Or contact Evenko, who are the promoters. Good luck!

It's like lollapalooza booked Metallica and McCartney and then said ''Oh... now we got 25% of our annual budget to book the last 100s of bands.''. |

Stromae is playing another Bell Centre arena show (back to back after the first sold out) in september.
Can't believe he's not headlining. Just goes to show how Osheaga isn't Quebec's festival anymore!

No kidding...there's hardly any local french acts on the lineup anymore, whereas in the early years of the festival there was always a few.
According to Wiki, in 2013, a staggering 70%(!) of ticket purchasers were from outside the province of Quebec. That explains why Stromae doesn't hold a top-6 spot on the lieup as he should. Hardly anyone in North America outside of Quebec knows anything about this dude.

He's doing a lot of festivals this year (Coachella, lollapalooza, osheaga and much more...) and i feel like this will help him a lot to get known outside of france/quebec. The first weekend of coachella, there was maybe half a tent for his set, review all said how unbelievable he was and one of the best set of the whole weekend, the second weekend there was so many people at his set (Even special appearance by kanye west !).
Hype-wise, he's probably the biggest act of this year's osheaga.

They added local artist Arianne moffatt today, i wonder if this is due to twin shadow's cancelation.
She does electro-pop and sing in french. She's quite good but never saw her live.
