As we continue to melt into the atmospheric soup of this heatwave, we need to be reminded that the late-autumn/early-winter season is just around the corner. Enter: M for Montreal.
It’s once again that time of year where the festival organizers have shared the first names for its latest edition — the 2026 iteration taking place from November 18 to 21 — in the form of the Official Selection lineup.
Yoo Doo Right, Lisa LeBlanc, Béton Armé, Population II, Edwin Raphael, Les Shirley, Le Ren, Hélène Barbier, HAWA B, Geoffroy, Bye Parula, Dominique Way, Lysandre, Lou Val, FAZE, Afrotronix, zouz, Babyteeth, Mulch, Gabriella Olivo and Cherrykim lead this year’s festivities with a home-court advantage. Meanwhile, Hillsboro, Virgo Rising, cherry pick, dead ex girlfriends, Lucette, Sea of Lettuce and blind commentary are representing the rest of the country.
Check out the poster below, and stay tuned for further M for Montreal lineup details — including those pertaining to the citywide Marathon portion of the fest.
