Osheaga Festival Announces 2024 Headliners: Noah Kahan and SZA, in addition to Green Day!

The OSHEAGA Music and Arts Festival presented by Bell in collaboration with Coors Light is shaping up to be an unforgettable weekend of musical delights! At last, here are the headliners who will be joining Green Day for this year’s festival: Noah Kahan and SZA, both recent GRAMMY nominees.
Hailing from Strafford, Vermont (just south of Montreal), Noah Kahan has made a name for himself as a truth-telling troubadour with a knack for writing catchy songs with unfathomable depths. The “Stick Season” singer has had a meteoric rise since he put out his first single, “Hurt Somebody”, to critical and commercial acclaim! Kahan, whose online buzz has been a veritable phenomenon, has over 22 million monthly listeners, and his music has been the soundtrack to millions of TikToks. With a high energy and twangy sound, Kahan has enjoyed being at the top of the Billboard rock and alternative album charts and has collaborated with some of the best and brightest in the business these days, including Kacey Musgraves, Zach Bryan, and a massive hit with Post Malone. On December 2, Kahan will take the Saturday Night Live stage as musical guest, a gig he said in a 2015 tweet that he would “do anything” for. Fans can look forward to chill-inducing singalong moments when Noah Kahan hits the stage on Friday, August 2 at this summer’s OSHEAGA!
Leading the pack this year with 9 new GRAMMY noms, SZA is one of the world’s biggest superstars at the moment, and despite being somewhat shy about fame, her exceptional live shows have been making headlines around the globe. Born Solána Rowe in St Louis, Mi, SZA grew up in Maplewood, New Jersey, where she honed her skills as a performer while studying to be a marine biologist – but her career took a musical turn when she became the first female artist to sign with Top Dawg Entertainment (Kendrick Lamar’s label). Fans will note that this isn’t SZA‘s first OSHEAGA: the singer was part of the stellar lineup back in 2015 as well! Since then, her star has been on the rise in a huge way – her debut album, Ctrl, has remained on the Billboard 200 chart since July 2017. Her follow-up, SOS, became the longest-running No. 1 album by a female artist of the decade, and she’s just getting started. With a fresh take on a classic sound, the singer, who cites legendary vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald and Lauryn Hill as primary influences, will be taking the OSHEAGA stage on Sunday, August 4 as a new queen of soul.
Announced earlier this month, Green Day will be playing their first-ever show in the festival’s history this summer, as they take the stage on Saturday, August 3, for what is sure to be an unforgettable night of pure punk rock bliss on! It has been over 6 years since Green Day last “came around” to play a show in Montreal, leaving the sold-out Bell Centre crowd in awe! Just this past week, the band took over the Grey Cup halftime show in Hamilton, ON for an electrifying performance some of their hits, including “Basket Case” and “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”. Many spectators claimed Green Day delivered the greatest halftime show in years! Now, with a new album on the horizon called Saviours, the iconic group is preparing a world tour for 2024 that will showcase their searing new material along with anthems from classic albums like Dookie (celebrating 30 years since its release) and American Idiot (that turns 20 next year).
The full OSHEAGA 2024 lineup will be unveiled in the New Year, and single-day tickets will be available. 3-Day tickets are currently available for purchase here.

Osheaga Music Festival Announce 2026 Lineup with Headliners Twenty One Pilots, Tate McRae, and Lorde
OSHEAGA Music and Arts Festival, presented by Bell in collaboration with Coors Light, returns for its 19th edition, once again transforming Montréal’s stunning Parc Jean-Drapeau into the epicentre of live music from July 31 to August 2, 2026. Over three unforgettable days, festivalgoers will experience world-class performances, genre-defining artists, and the electric atmosphere that has made OSHEAGA one of North America’s most celebrated summer festivals.
For 2026, OSHEAGA unveils its complete lineup in one highly anticipated reveal, spotlighting three major headliners set to deliver landmark performances. True to its reputation, the festival’s booking team has curated a dynamic program that bridges genres and generations, bringing together global superstars, rising talent, and tomorrow’s breakout acts all in one place. With 87 artists across multiple stages, this year’s edition invites music lovers to discover their next obsession.
Twenty One Pilots will set the tone for the weekend, closing out the first day of the festival on Friday, July 31. Returning to OSHEAGA for the first time since their 2015 appearance, the Grammy Award–winning duo will bring their genre-blending sound, dynamic stage presence, and global hits like the billion-view anthem “Stressed Out,” along with “Ride,” and “Heathens” to a high-impact opening night that will have the entire park singing along late into the summer evening. As Saturday’s closing act, Calgary-born global pop sensation Tate McRae will make her OSHEAGA debut with her only Canadian festival appearance of 2026, with no other Canadian dates currently announced. Fresh off a sold-out Bell Centre show and armed with chart-topping anthems including “greedy,” “you broke me first,” “exes,” “she’s all i wanna be,” “revolving door,” “just keep watching,” and “sports car,” she is poised to deliver one of the festival’s most powerful and unforgettable moments. Alt-pop visionary Lorde will close out the festival on Sunday, marking her third appearance at OSHEAGA (following previous performances in 2014 and 2017). Known for blending alt-pop, dream pop, indie and electropop, Lorde has delivered defining anthems such as “Royals,” “Team,” “Ribs,” “Green Light,” “Liability,” “Supercut,” “Tennis Court,” and “Homemade Dynamite.” Following her dynamic performance at the Bell Centre last year and a series of upcoming major 2026 headlining festival appearances, includingThe Governors Ball in New York City and Mad Cool in Spain, her return to Parc Jean-Drapeau promises a powerful and unifying finale to the weekend.
This year’s edition reflects the festival’s continued evolution, with pop at the forefront, rock at its core, and hip-hop shaping the cultural pulse. On the indie-rock front, 2026 GRAMMY Award winners Turnstile, now firmly established as one of the biggest rock bands in the world, are featured alongside modern rock favorites The Neighbourhood, best known for their 11× Platinum-certified hit “Sweater Weather,” breakout alternative band Geese, and Scottish indie-rock icons Franz Ferdinand, who rose to prominence in the early 2000s and continue to resonate across generations with their defining anthem “Take Me Out.” Hip-hop will be well represented across the weekend, highlighted by the return of melodic rap heavyweight Gunna, a defining figure in modern trap. Electronic and global sounds will energize the park with Major Lazer, back on tour for the first time since 2019 and fresh off a high-profile performance at the Closing Ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Verona, while visionary Australian duo Empire of the Sun make their long-awaited OSHEAGA and Montréal debut. With a lineup largely led by pop, festivalgoers can expect an exhilarating set from global star Zara Larsson as she returns to Parc Jean-Drapeau for her third appearance at OSHEAGA. Fresh off her first GRAMMY nomination for her 2025 single “Midnight Sun,” Larsson continues to solidify her place as one of pop’s leading voices. The long-awaited return of The xx, alongside breakout act SOMBR, one of the most compelling new voices in alternative pop, further underscores the genre’s strong presence this year. The lineup also features Kehlani, Max McNown (who also appears on this year’s LASSO Montréal lineup), SUBTRONICS, YOASOBI, Finn Wolfhard, JID, Wet Leg, and more.
As always, OSHEAGA is committed to showcasing and supporting incredible Canadian talent, a core part of the festival’s DNA since its inception. This year is no exception! The 2026 lineup features 26 Canadian artists, including 14 homegrown artists from Québec, who will take the stage alongside international headliners. Supporting local artists, from established names to emerging voices, remains a fundamental pillar of OSHEAGA. From breakthrough acts featured at the SiriusXM Backyard Sessions to celebrated Canadian performers commanding the main stages, the festival continues to shine a spotlight on the very best our country has to offer. Among them is Wolf Parade, whose recent viral resurgence of their iconic single “I’ll Believe in Anything” has introduced the band to a new generation of listeners, reaffirming the lasting influence of Canadian indie rock. The lineup also includes Tia Wood, Billie du Page, Bob Moses, Virginie B, Vandelux, Moses Belanger, Mother Mother, Super Plage, and more, reflecting the vibrant diversity and creative strength of Canada’s music scene. Together, they reinforce that OSHEAGA is not only a global music destination, but also a proud celebration of talent from our own backyard.
From chart-dominating pop to boundary-pushing rock, hip-hop innovators, and global electronic icons, OSHEAGA 2026 strikes a bold balance between mainstream power and underground influence, offering something unforgettable for every kind of music fan.
