Osheaga 2025 Reveals Daily Schedule

Osheaga is back at Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal, and the set-time anxiety is real. With a stacked lineup across all three days, tough decisions are guaranteed. Here’s our breakdown of the biggest clashes, can’t-miss sets, and local gems to catch at this year’s edition.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 1
Gates open at 2pm, and the warmup act is no slouch: Begonia from Manitoba kicks things off. If you’re into big, expressive voices, don’t miss her.
By 5:30pm, things get tricky. La Femme (Forest stage), Lucy Dacus (Island stage), and Salute (Mountain stage) all go live within minutes of each other. You’ll either be sprinting between stages or forced to pick a side.
The 7:45pm slot will sting a bit: Glass Animals and Jorja Smith are up at the same time. Pick your vibe: sunset indie-pop or sultry R&B.
Then comes the late-night battle: festival headliners The Killers versus Grammy-winner Doechii. Expect big crowds and zero easy choices.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 2
Montreal’s Hologramme starts the day fresh off a new EP (Surfaces). Later, you’ve got some heavy hitters: Smino and Shaboozey (yep, that “Tipsy” song guy) are both on the main stages. Meanwhile, Future Islands and TV On The Radio bring early-2010s energy over on the Forest and Valley stages.
Then 7:45pm hits again with another dilemma: Gracie Abrams goes up against Vancouverite internet darling bbno$, in the most chaotic genre clash of the fest.
Closing out the night, Tyler, The Creator takes on Lost Frequencies in a headliner face-off of bars vs. beats.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 3
Day three starts strong with Polaris Prize-winner Debby Friday, indie duo The Darcys, and French bass project Turbine all on early.
From there, it’s a sprint to the end: Gigi Perez and Marina (of Marina & The Diamonds) play back to back, followed by The Beaches (who are having the best year) on the main stages.
Then come the gut punches. Good luck deciding between The Dare and Royel Otis, and between Amaarae and Cage The Elephant. It’s brutal out there.
Finally, the weekend wraps with the face-off: Olivia Rodrigo vs Jamie xx. If you figure out how to catch both of them, let us know.
