LASSO Montréal 2025 Reveals Daily Schedule
LASSO Montréal just dropped its full daily schedule for this year’s two-day country throwdown, set to take over Parc Jean-Drapeau on August 15 and 16. The lineup has already been buzzing with big names like Sheryl Crow, Jelly Roll, and Bailey Zimmerman, and now we’ve got the exact set times, so you can start planning your beer runs accordingly.
Friday, August 15
Day One kicks off across four stages at 2pm, with Montreal’s own Vince Lemire getting things started on the Coors Prairie Stage. The Bell Stage heats up soon after with The Jack Wharf Band at 2:35, followed by Willow Avalon and Wyatt Flores keeping the energy flowing into the afternoon.
Over on the Coca-Cola Range Stage, up-and-comers like Sully Burrows and Kevin Smiley will be warming things up before Madeline Merlo and Pecos & The Rooftops take over in the evening. SiriusXM’s Backyard Sessions will also be showcasing rising Québécois talent like Chloé Leclerc and Cindy Bédard.
Shaboozey gets a prime-time slot on the Bell Stage at 7pm, hot on the heels of his chart momentum, setting the stage for a major one-two punch to close out the night: Sheryl Crow from 8:10 to 9:10, then Bailey Zimmerman holding it down from 9:20 to 10:50.
Friday Highlights:
- Sheryl Crow (8:10–9:10, Coors Prairie Stage)
- Bailey Zimmerman (9:20–10:50, Bell Stage)
- Shaboozey (7:00–8:00, Bell Stage)
- Madeline Merlo (5:40–6:25, Coca-Cola Range Stage)
Saturday, August 16
Saturday keeps the pedal down with another stacked lineup starting at 2pm. The Bell Stage opens with Sacha, followed by Cameron Whitcomb and Québec Redneck Bluegrass Project, possibly the most Canadian band name of all time.
Dasha hits the Coors Prairie Stage at 4:00pm, and if her viral momentum keeps going, she might draw one of the bigger afternoon crowds. VAVO, the country-electronic duo, closes out the Range Stage with a 6:55 slot that’s bound to turn into a party.
On the main staged, it’s all building toward a massive Saturday night run: The Dead South at 7 PM, Riley Green at 8:10, and Jelly Roll closing things out with what’s likely to be one of the biggest sets of the festival from 9:20 to 10:50.
Saturday Highlights:
- Jelly Roll (9:20–10:50, Bell Stage)
- Riley Green (8:10–9:10, Coors Prairie Stage)
- The Dead South (7:00–8:00, Bell Stage)
- Dasha (4:00–4:45, Coors Prairie Stage)
From Nashville heavyweights to local newcomers, LASSO is serving up a packed weekend of country music, Québécois flair, and plenty of boots-stomping moments. If you weren’t already building a Google spreadsheet, now’s the time. Full schedule available on lassomontreal.com.
