Osheaga 2024 is 82 days away!

Our Unofficial Osheaga Podcast is back for 2024! We’re kicking things off with our first look at Friday’s lineup!

Every two weeks Sarah and I will be digging into the entire lineup of this year’s Osheaga to give you music recommendations all summer long. We’ll be picking ten acts from each day, talking about them and playing clips of their songs to give you a feel for their music and why we think they’ll be an amazing show.

But wait – you don’t need us to tell you why you should probably check out Green Day 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 the likes of SZA 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 favorite artist.

Here are our first 5 “non-headline” acts we think are worth checking out for Friday’s festivities and a song we love from the artist:

Osheaga runs from August 2nd to August 4th at Parc Jean Drapeau. Check out osheaga.com for more info and tickets.
