Since you can’t go to your favourite summer festivals this year, why not turn your backyard or living room into a mini-Place des Festivals or a pocket-sized concert hall? Here are 11 playlists to fill your home with the sweet sounds of a Montreal summer. Whether you just tap your toes or get a night-long groove going, you’re sure to find the joy that only music can bring!

FRANCOPHONE MUSIC

Buying local has been a hot topic lately – and why not include music in the conversation? Local artists, the musique bleue movement, talented young Montrealers: there’s no shortage of options!

CLASSICAL AND JAZZ

It makes no difference: from beloved standards to intriguing contemporary pieces, classical and jazz go straight to our heart. Check out these sublime playlists.

WORLD AND INDIGENOUS MUSIC

While we wait for this year’s edition, postponed to the fall, why not relive last year’s Nuits d’Afrique? And it’s always a great time to take in some Indigenous sounds, despite the cancellation of this year’s Montreal First Peoples’ Festival.

POP AND ELECTRONICA

These high-energy sounds will get you up and moving, to help you warm up for this fall’s festivals.
