POP Montreal 2017 Lineup
POP Montreal will celebrate its #Sweet16 this September, and as usual the festival has lined up an eclectic array of performers for its assortment of showcases across the city. Topping the bill are revived lo-fi shit-kickers Royal Trux, samba legend Elza Soares, avant electro-pop singer Austra, and Wu-Tang overlord RZA, who’ll perform a live score for The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin. Also on deck: Swet Shop Boys, Hurray For The Riff Raff, Mount Eerie, Thee Oh Sees, the Besnard Lakes, Jessy Lanza, Deee-lite’s Lady Miss Kier, Jay Som, Vagabon, Weyes Blood, Serpentwithfeet, and more. (The organizers are particularly excited about the return of Montreal underground legends Think About Life.) Check out the full lineup below, where you can also find a trailer by Ian Cameron and Jonathan Duran and a POP Montreal promo mixtape assembled by Austra.
