ÎLESONIQ Just Dropped The Dates For Its 2022 Festival & They Added A Whole Extra Day

Sure, it's October. But it's never too early to start thinking about summer — and one of Montreal's favourite festivals, îLESONIQ, just gave us a big reason to get excited.

In a Facebook post announcing festival dates for 2022, îLESONIQ also announced that it was expanding from two days to three days. That means festival-goers get a whole extra day of DJs and dancing this August.

The popular electronic music festival is set to take place at Parc Jean-Drapeau from August 5 to 7, 2022.

Plus, there's also an "îLESONIQ EN VILLE" event scheduled for August 4.

The main edition of îLESONIQ 2021 was postponed by a year so 2022's summer festival will be a long time coming.
