LASSO Montréal Announce 2026 Headliners
LASSO Montréal, presented by Bell in collaboration with Coors Original is back for a fifth edition! After a record year in 2025 that gathered 51,500 fans, we’re excited to finally announce the headline acts for 2026: Thomas Rhett and Mumford & Sons, joined by major performances from Jon Pardi and Old Dominion. All four artists will take over one of the most breathtaking festival sites in North America: Montréal’s Parc Jean-Drapeau on île Sainte-Hélène with the iconic Montréal skyline as the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable country-music weekend.
Taking place on August 15 & 16, 2026, the festival will shift to a Saturday-Sunday format for the first time, offering an all-new weekend experience! The celebrations will kick off on Friday, August 14 with LASSO in the City, delivering a night of twang-filled tunes to set the tone just right.
Always a Montreal favourite, Thomas Rhett returns to LASSO! As one of country music’s most beloved performers, he blends heartfelt songwriting and undeniable charisma in all of his chart-topping hits like “Die a Happy Man”, “Marry Me” and “Beer Can’t Fix”. With GRAMMY nominations, numerous awards, and a reputation for unforgettable live shows, he continues to redefine what a modern country superstar can be. Over the past year, Rhett has taken his music around the world, joining Morgan Wallen on the Still the Problem Tour, touring with Luke Combs on the My Kinda Saturday Night Tour, and headlining his own Better in Boots Tour across North America in support of his latest album of the same name. His headlining set at LASSO Montréal 2026 promises to be a landmark moment of the festival’s anniversary edition!
Mumford & Sons bring their signature Americana firepower to LASSO this year, fresh off a sold-out performance at the Bell Centre this October. Known for their soaring harmonies, anthemic instrumentation, and boundary-pushing artistry, the 2x GRAMMY-winning group has been a global touring force for over a decade. Across four acclaimed albums, the band has earned multiple chart-topping hits, multi-platinum album successes across the globe, and a string of sold-out arena tours. Their performances are nothing short of cathartic, and their appearance at LASSO Montréal marks a highly anticipated moment for fans eager to experience their powerful live presence in a festival setting.
Also revealed today are Jon Pardi and Old Dominion, rounding out the first wave of artists being announced at this time. Together, they add even more star power to the 2026 edition! Pardi, known for his punchy bravado, has never been afraid to break from the pack, releasing music that he calls “rock and roll with a country flair”. With his biggest hits like “Head Over Boots” and “Dirt On My Boots” (certified 6x-Platinum), the California native will bring his high energy set to Montreal for the very first time this summer. Old Dominion, known for crafting unforgettable hooks and their optimistic spirit, will also join the lineup for 2026. With nine #1 singles at country radio, over five billion streams and a dozen RIAA Platinum and Gold single certifications, the band explores the highs and lows of life with honesty and heart. It’s what earns them the title of “one of mainstream country music’s most popular live groups” (Rolling Stone, 2025). Having delivered a standout, fan-favourite performance at LASSO’s first edition in 2022, we’re thirlled to welcome them back for another round.
LASSO performers and fans remind us every year how the hospitality and festival experience are unmatched in country music in North America. As LASSO Montréal celebrates its 5th year, festivalgoers can expect a milestone edition worthy of the anniversary. See you there this summer for bigger energy, unforgettable performances, and summer nights filled with the spirit of country music at its very best.
The full LASSO Montréal 2026 lineup will be unveiled in the New Year, and single-day tickets will be available soon.

Rolling Loud Announce Move To Orlando For 2026
Rolling Loud will stage its only U.S. festival of 2026 in Orlando, Florida, marking a notable shift for the long-running hip-hop event. Organizers announced that Rolling Loud Orlando will take place May 8–10 at Camping World Stadium, ending a decade-long tradition that kept the festival anchored in Miami.
The lineup has not been revealed, but the festival is promising a full week of “exclusive events and experiences” tied to the main weekend. Presale tickets go on sale Thursday, January 8, at 10 a.m. ET through Rolling Loud’s website, with prices starting at $249. A layaway option will be offered with a $9.99 deposit.
The Orlando dates come after years of Rolling Loud operating multiple U.S. festivals in cities such as Miami, Los Angeles, and New York. That approach has now been scaled back. Outside the U.S., Rolling Loud will still host events in Sydney and Melbourne on March 7 and 8, following recent global expansions that included the brand’s first festival in India last November. Organizers have already confirmed a return to India in November 2026.
Festival co-founder and co-CEO Matt Zingler said the move reflects a broader reset for the brand. In a statement shared via Billboard, Zingler explained that the goal was to bring Rolling Loud back to a summer schedule and build a single U.S. event without trade-offs. He pointed to Orlando’s accessibility and infrastructure as key reasons for the decision, adding that the festival aims to follow where hip-hop culture is headed, not where it has already been.
Rolling Loud began in Miami in 2015, founded by Florida natives Zingler and Tariq Cherif. What started as a one-day event in Wynwood quickly grew into a major destination festival, moving through larger venues before landing at Hard Rock Stadium by 2018. By the end of the decade, Rolling Loud Miami regularly drew crowds exceeding 200,000, becoming one of the city’s biggest music events and a major economic driver.
Over the years, the festival has hosted performances from artists such as Travis Scott, Future, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, A$AP Rocky, 21 Savage, Latto, and Kodak Black, while building a reputation for spotlighting rising artists alongside established stars. The brand later expanded across North America and overseas, helping solidify hip-hop’s place at the center of the global festival circuit.
News of the move to Orlando has drawn mixed reactions online, particularly from South Florida fans who viewed Rolling Loud as a fixture of Miami’s cultural calendar. The change signals a clear new chapter for the festival as it enters its second decade, with organizers betting on a leaner U.S. footprint and a broader international focus.
