Third time is the charm for ÎleSoniq! The biggest electronic music festival in Montréal returns to Parc Jean-Drapeau with their hottest headliners yet: The Chainsmokers and Zedd on August 5, followed by Skrillex and Canadian duo DVBBS on August 6. Also on the bill, a curated stage by Dutch DJ Oliver Heldens, the Montréal premiere of Ferry Corsten’s latest project, and the return of Montréal born DJ/producer Tiga. With three stages and nearly 50 artists from all different electronic music genres, there’s a whole new world of music to discover at ÎleSoniq.
Friday, August 5
Having already conquered this year’s Coachella Festival (where Kesha performed his single “True Colors”) and pretty much ruling the dance charts with hits such as “Clarity” and “I Want You to Know”, featuring Selena Gomez, ZEDD is sure to fire up the crowds with his trademark dance hits.
Also at the OASIS Fido Stage, American DJ duo The Chainsmokers will also drive EDM lovers insane! The duo has scored hits with their singles “Roses” and “Don’t Let Me Down” (currently a contender for Billboard’s Song of the Summer).
Over at the La Vie Bud Light Stage, Oliver Heldens has curated an amazing roster of artists, including Montrealers Prince Club and Canadian duo Zeds Dead. At the Neon Stage, up-and-coming Canadian DJ REZZ and the UK’s Zomboy are sure to take everyone on a dark and wild ride with their signature moody beats.
Saturday, August 6
He’s produced chart toppers for Justin Bieber, collaborated with Diplo as the duo Jack Ü, and has collaborated with Rick Ross in the upcoming Suicide Squad movie soundtrack, Skrillex is sure to be a hit at the OASIS Fido Stage. Canadian duo DVBBS return to the festival this year as headliners, so rest up: these two acts are going to be intense!
Over at the La Vie Bud Light Stage, Ferry Corsten will debut his latest project GOURYELLA. Take a look at his video for a taste of what is sure to be an out-of-this-world experience.
Last but least, the Neon Stage will welcome Hannah Wants, A-Rock & Shaydakiss, Karma Kid, Pomo, and Montréal born DJ/producer Tiga will perform new music from his latest release “No Fantasy Required”.
