Osheaga 2025 Comedown – 9to5.cc Podcasts

Well folks – just like that another Osheaga has come and gone.

Sarah and I saw 29 bands (I think) collectively over the weekend and went to two afterparties because we are crazy people. But we lived to tell the tale as we always do and now it’s time for the comedown. We talk through all the shows we saw this weekend going and rank our favourites for your listening pleasure.

On a personal note to you (the listener) we did some of our best numbers this year and had the most downloads we’ve ever had for this little show of ours. Thanks so much for the love and support and we’ll see you next year July 31st to August 2nd at Parc Jean Drapeau!

Oh – and our pick for one of the headliners next year? The Foo Fighters (note: we’ve been right zero percent of the time when making these predictions).

Enjoy the show!

Osheaga Podcast 2025 (Unofficial) – Sunday: Part 2

Posted In: Homepage, Montreal, Osheaga, Osheaga Podcast, Other podcasts, Podcast, Podcasting

Osheaga 2025 is only 9 days away!

Our Unofficial Osheaga Podcast is back for 2025! It’s just over a week away and we’re ready to finish our deep dive into Sunday’s lineup!

(More or less) every two weeks Sarah and I have been digging into the entire lineup of this year’s Osheaga to give you music recommendations all summer long. We pick ten acts from each day, we talk about them, play clips of their tunes to give you a feel for their music and tell you why we think they’re worth checking.

We’re having fun and talking about music all summer long, won’t you join us?

But wait – you don’t need us to tell you why you should probably check out Olivia Rodrigo now do you? So (for the purposes of this show) we ruled out the entire top line of each day of the lineup. So yes, that means you will need to decide for yourself if you’re going to see Jamie xx or not.

Trust us, if you listen to all of these episodes you might find yourself running back and forth between stages all weekend and discovering your new favourite artist.

Here is our first batch of 5 “non-headline” acts we think are worth checking out for Sunday.

Osheaga Podcast 2024 (Unofficial) – Comedown Edition

by on August 6, 2024 at 5:20 pm
Posted In: Homepage, Osheaga, Osheaga Podcast, Other podcasts, Podcast, Podcasting

That’s a wrap on Osheaga 2024. It’s over. 🙁

We can all go back to our lives now and try to cling to the memories of Osheaga as they fade away like dimming stage lights. Sarah and I took in an absurd amount of bands this year and managed to drag our tired asses over to the Ed Banger 20th Anniversary Party on Saturday night like complete lunatics (watching a back-to-back set of Busy P and Tiga took my right back to my 20s).

Osheaga flew by this year – probably because there was barely a minute between acts we wanted to catch. It was like we got into the gate on Friday afternoon and a long blink later we were cheering for the closing moments of Justice. We saw so many bands and now is the time where we run through the schedule and share our takes with you. Who was awesome? Who sucked? Who are we excited to see next time they come to town? Listen now!

Anyways, this is it until next year family. At least for Osheaga. There’s still plenty of concerts that you can and should be going to all year long between now and then.

Osheaga 2025 takes place August 1st to August 3rd next year and we’ll see you all there!
