osheaga 2023

Montreal's Osheaga Festival 2023 has come to an end, leaving audiences far from disappointed — and not just because of the music. With headliners like Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, and Rüfüs du Sol gracing the stage, expectations were high. Despite a few setbacks, which are inevitable at any festival, Osheaga delivered and then some.

Beyond the artist lineup, however, Osheaga has always been a runway for festival fashion. This year was no exception. Attendees didn't hold back, showcasing their best festival attire. From sparkling sequins, edgy chains, and glowing neon to sultry leather, sleek latex, and eye-catching accessories, the style scene at this year's Osheaga was nothing short of spectacular.

Montreal's Osheaga festival is well underway and Billie Eilish closed out day two of the esteemed music festival. The Grammy award winner graced the Osheaga stage at 9:20 p.m. Saturday where she was jolted into the air and onto the stage for what can only be best described as the ultimate entrance.

Sporting a matching jersey set with the number 23 across her shorts, Eilish didn't waste any time before jumping into her first song "Bury A Friend." The setlist included all of the singer's hits such as "Therefore I Am," "My Strange Addiction," and one of the very first few live performances of "What Was I Made For?" from the Barbie movie.

The lineup presentation comes a day after it leaked via a buried file in the festival newsroom. Osheaga organizer evenko responded by announcing the official lineup drop would come noon the following day, which was possibly an acceleration of the original schedule.

Osheaga, our city's world-famous three-day music festival extravaganza, finally announced its headliners for its upcoming edition from August 4 to 6, 2023. For the festival's 16th anniversary, organizers have lined up a star-studded set that will most probably cater to all music tastes.

Starting on Friday, August 4, the Australian dance group Rüfüs Du Sol will make their big comeback to Osheaga. In 2019, their set at the festival was all the rage. The trio is expected to bring another incredible live show, this time as lead performers, mixing deep beats and mesmerizing visuals. The band is nominated for two Grammys at next year's ceremony: Best Dance/Electronic Recording (for their single "On My Knees") and Best Dance/Electronic Music Album (for last year's "Surrender").
