Zara Larsson Hailed Osheaga as "One of the Best Crowds in the World" │ Exclaim! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
BY Spencer Nafekh-BlanchettePublished Aug 3, 2026 The third and final day of Montreal's 19th edition of Osheaga music festival was marked by rappers, pop icons and a whole lot of rain. The latter didn't stop the festival enthusiasts from showing up to a sold-out Parc Jean-Drapeau, though, and a massive crowd of poncho-wearing fans showed up to the festival's River Stage to see Sweden's biggest pop icon, rain or shine. "How are we doing Montreal?" Zara Larsson asked a soaked but ecstatic audience
Lorde Gave Osheaga an Out-of-Body Experience │ Exclaim! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
BY Spencer Nafekh-BlanchettePublished Aug 3, 2026 There's a reason why Lorde has built up such a huge following over her career spanning more than a decade and four studio albums: her ability to find meaning in her own sensitivities and symbolism in places far and wide has rapidly built up her reputation as popular music's favourite mystic. So, when fans showed up to Lorde's headlining show on the last night of Osheaga's 2026 event, it didn't matter to anybody that there was mud on the ground an

Last year, when Pitchfork gave the London three-piece a low score of 5.9 on their fifth studio album Some Like it Hot, the group embraced the criticism by putting it on their merchandise, immortalizing it in T-shirt form (which has become something of a trend). Likewise, despite the issues that came up at the
Sometimes Little Simz Might Be Osheaga's Returning Champion │ Exclaim! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
BY Spencer Nafekh-BlanchettePublished Aug 2, 2026 The second day (August 1) of Montreal's Osheaga's 2026 edition will likely go down in history as its rock 'n' roll day, with big names like Viagra Boys and Turnstile taking centre stage — and even Quebecois heroes Angine de Poitrine showing up for a surprise set at Parc Jean-Drapeau. But amongst the rockers were a sprinkle of grime fans, eager to see some household names from the UK-born genre. AJ Tracey got an ever-growing crowd of rap enthusias
