Having already announced and expanded its 2015 lineup, Pop Montreal has now unveiled one last batch of artists to give us the full bill for the 14th annual edition of the festival.
The latest lineup additions include the Sonics, Doldrums, Prison Garde, Frankie, Les Hay Babies, Chuggo and All We Are. There will also be a free closing party at the the Piccolo Little Burgundy with a a DJ set from Torquil Campbell of Stars, plus a couple of cover bands: the Radiohead tribute Brother's Got the Bends and the Smiths tribute the Smiffs.
Interestingly, Canadian violin god Owen Pallett will make an appearance, but not as part of a traditional concert. Rather, he will take part in a pop-up restaurant at the Cabaret Rialto, which will include guest DJs and celebrity chefs. From the announcement, it's not entirely clear if Pallett will be a DJ or if he's cooking.
Also on the musical front, the festival's Film Pop segment has announced that the Arcade Fire tour documentary The Reflektor Tapes will make its Quebec premiere at the festival. The Pop Symposium will offer discussions with Andy Kim and Arto Lindsay.
Beyond that, the festival also offers the segments Art Pop, Kids Pop, the marketplace-oriented Puces Pop, Fashion Pop and a record fair. Get the full details at Pop Montreal's website, where tickets for the many shows can also be purchased.
