One of Montreal's most beloved music festivals, POP Montreal, is back this year with a big 20th-anniversary edition, and the lineup just dropped.

The lineup includes some exciting names, such as 2020 Polaris Prize winner Backxwash, Rhythm and Flow alumnus Cakes da Killa, hometown psych-rockers SUUNS and local TikTok star Eve Parker Finley.

Like last year, the 2021 festival is planned as a hybrid of in-person concerts and virtual events.

"What a wild time. It's the 20th-anniversary edition of POP Montreal! Yes it's still a pandemic so we have to remain safe and careful but we can celebrate and be thankful that we can still go to shows and see amazing live music. What a gift!" says an announcement posted on POP Montreal's website.

The festival is set to take place from September 22-26, 2021.

Show listings and tickets are available online.
