Montreal’s Quartier des spectacles will once again be filled with music lovers this summer for the 44th edition of the Montreal International Jazz Festival, which announced its lineup Tuesday.
Norah Jones, Andre 3000, Hiatus Kaiyote and Luffy are some of the headliners who will be heading to town for what the organizers are calling a “modern, comprehensive and diverse” spectacle.
More than 350 indoor and outdoor performances are expected to take place over 10 days, including performances by local acts such as Alexandra Strelski, Elispi, Geoffroy, Dominique Fils-Aime.
“In various areas of society, the idea of ​​boundaries is fading, and the same goes for our beloved jazz. Our amazing programming team has the duty and pleasure to reflect this healthy evolution,” said Maureen Oxmery, head of festival programming, in a news release.
“Jazz constantly takes its cues from current music styles, and in turn permeates rock, pop and hip-hop, to name just a few. This interdependence is really exciting, as it testifies to the relevance of jazz in our soundscape.”
Tickets go on sale to the general public on April 12 at 10am
The festival takes place between June 27 and July 6.
