The END is Here: Montreal's One-Day Rave Festival and Artist Market

 

Montreal's rave and creative scenes join together for END, a one-day festival from noon to 5am that includes an artist market and a nonstop rave. Hosted at 429 Avenue Viger E (Montréal) in two rooms, tickets for this nonstop party are available here. It's a rare opportunity to see all your rave friends in one place.

The music is curated by the city's best DJs, who have come together to create an atmosphere of friendship and endless dancing. Recognizable names on the lineup include the event organizers who have kept the Montreal afterhours going for years, as well as newcomers to the scene who have been ripping up the dancefloor every weekend in recent memory.

Artisans at the daytime portion of the event include many of Also Cool favs, as well as a ton of other artists we can't wait to check out. If you want to do your holiday shopping extra early or treat yourself, this is the place to do it.

Some words of the organizer:

“I'm hoping the event will bring the idea of connection, coming together for a singular immersive experience. Realize that a sustainable future is possible. For everyone to meet each other and begin to build connections and resources and create a place to belong. As well as showcasing the amazing talent Montreal has to offer! It is the end, and with the end, a new beginning comes.

No sexism. No racism. No ableism. No ageism. No homophobia. No fatphobia. No transphobia. No hatefulness

The beginning of the END

DISTORSION Takes Over Entrepôt 77 with Holy Fuck, Hot Garbage, Petra Glynt & More

 

Our favourite psychedelic moths are back at it again with DISTORSION > Entrepôt 77. It'll be loud, a ton of fun, and includes Also Cool favourites like Holy Fuck, Hot Garbage, and Petra Glynt. 

The festival runs from July 22th to 24th at Entrepôt 77 (77 rue Bernard), a mythical Montreal landmark located in Plateau Mont-Royal, at the junction of Mile-End and La Petite Patrie.

Ever since the festival's very humble beginnings, the moths organizing DISTORSION have made a point to settle in unique locations to present their psychedelic masses. This year is no different, but there is a slight twist: the event will take place mostly in daylight! Rest assured, though, the moth team has you covered with some of the very best noisy and experimental outfits out there.

Amongst the headliners, attendees can catch transcendent electronic artist Holy Fuck (Toronto, ON), multi-faceted psychedelic collective Golden Dawn Arkestra (Austin, TX), krautrock ensemble Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp (Geneva, CH), plus a selection of up-and-coming post-everything outfits from Montreal and abroad!
