    The Sadies Saved the Last Dance for FME in Rouyn-Noranda │ Exclaim! (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The final day of FME 2026 also marked the centennial celebrations for Rouyn-Noranda, and everyone was invited to one last epic (free) hurrah. The programming was eclectic to say the least, including a rousing set by Montreal's Taxi Girls and ÉrableRiemix, an event combining chefs, DJs and VJs that you had to attend to understand. But before all that: the Sadies. The iconic Toronto band have been an anchor of the Canadian music scene for over 30 years. While their reputation precedes them in Engl

    N NAO Stepped Into the Spotlight at Rouyn-Noranda's FME │ Exclaim! (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    As a project, N NAO has had many configurations depending on the time and the place. At its core sits singer-songwriter-producer Naomie de Lorimier, but N NAO has evolved into an ever-changing amorphous concept throughout the years — and as such, it's been hard to pin down. Her creative process is often improvisational and akin to scientific research, working with a motley crew of musicians — including longtime collaborators Charles Marsolais-Ricard and Samuel Gougoux — to weave the metaphysical

    Arielle Soucy's Delicate Agnostic Mass Was a Sacred Space at Rouyn-Noranda's FME │ Exclaim! (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    For someone who doesn't particularly like to perform live, Arielle Soucy seemed remarkably at ease at Agora des Arts. With a simple gauzy archway as backdrop and a smattering of candles, Soucy made a sombre entrance and launched straight into a stunning choral introduction to open her FME set. What better venue than a former church-turned-theatre to attend the most delicate of agnostic masses? While her four-piece band were all masters of their respective instruments, including an organ and a ce

    Afternoon Bike Ride Conjured a Better Plane of Existence for FME in Rouyn-Noranda │ Exclaim! (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    While FME's nearby main stage hosted a hip-hop night that included current quebecois rap superstar Aswell and scene veteran Koriass, the stunning Agora des Arts played host to a decidedly more subdued affair with a double billing of folk-pop. Following her partner's rousing opening day set the previous evening, it was now time for Afternoon Bike Ride frontwoman Lia Kurihara to take centre stage. While both skillfully command the stage, their approaches couldn't be more dissimilar — whereas Les L

    Hélène Barbier Brought Bird's-Eye Views to Rouyn-Noranda for FME │ Exclaim! (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If Day 1 of FME was about the feverishness that characterizes many festival beginnings, Day 2 was an opportunity to softly land and get into the groove of things, depending on your choice of programming of course. While the masses descended upon L'Abstracto for a chance to see Matt Holubowski's surprise show, those looking for slightly more alternative vibes made their way to Le QG for a gorgeous dose of avant-pop. After performing at a number of Canadian summer festivals and just as she's about
