Palomosa 2026 Kicks Off Festival Season with MGMT, fakemink, ear and more
Visual by Flleur
Palomosa, are you inside the Also Cool iPod or…? Montreal’s best indie festival is back for its third year with a stellar lineup from May 14-16th, booking basically literally every single artist that we listen to on a daily basis. Whether you’re a drainer or a lover of underground 90s Japanese trip hop, there’s something for everyone on the lineup.
This year, Palomosa is getting ahead of the curve on the city’s nonstop festival season, taking over Jean Drapeau Parc in the spring rather than the fall. The format remains the same: block party, day parties, after parties, good music.
You can expect your life to be changed forever with back-to-back heavy hitters like POiSON GiRLFRiEND, fakemink, Thaiboy Digital, and ear.
If you’re still in need of a vibe check, you can watch our coverage of last year’s festival here:
We recommend getting a 3-day festival pass to hit as many shows as possible, but single-day passes are also available for casual Palo-goers. If you’re more of a late night person, Palomosa also just announced their official After Parties, all taking place at the SAT.
If your crew is committed to the festival lifestyle, you can get 20% off Palo Party Packs when you grab 5 to 10 tickets in one go.
Regardless of how you party, you’re guaranteed to have a good time. We’ll see you in the pit.
