The Backspin HQ Perspective

Osheaga 2026 is leaning heavily into the "current moment" while anchoring the weekend with undisputed live veterans. Tate McRae’s ascent to a Saturday headlining slot feels like a coronation for Canada’s newest pop queen, while the return of The xx and Lorde provides the high-art alternative credibility that has always distinguished Montreal from its North American festival peers. By balancing the heavy energy of Turnstile and Knocked Loose with the viral power of YOASOBI and JID, Osheaga remains the most curator-driven major festival on the continent.

Is Osheaga an all-ages event?

Yes, Osheaga is an all-ages festival. Children aged 10 and under are admitted for free when accompanied by an adult with a valid GA ticket. However, due to limited space, children must have a specific GOLD or Platinum ticket to enter those premium areas.

What happens if it rains?
