The full lineup for LASSO Montréal 2026 is here, and this thing got a whole lot bigger.
Fourteen new artists have been added to an already stacked bill, joining previously announced headliners Thomas Rhett and Mumford & Sons. With Koe Wetzel, Turnpike Troubadours, and a deep bench of Canadian and Québec talent now in the mix, the festival’s 5th edition is shaping up to be its best yet.

LASSO 2026: The Details
Dates: August 15–16, 2026 (plus LASSO in the City on August 14) Location: Parc Jean-Drapeau, Montréal
LASSO Montréal is presented by Bell in collaboration with Coors Original. It’s now in its 5th year, and it keeps getting bigger.
New for 2026: before the main festival weekend even kicks off, LASSO in the City will take over downtown Montréal on Friday, August 14 as a prelude to the festivities. More details to come on that front.
The festival site at Parc Jean-Drapeau on Île Sainte-Hélène is easy to get to: hop on the Yellow Line metro to Jean-Drapeau station, ride your bike, or walk. Once you’re there, the Montréal skyline does the rest.
The Lineup Is Bigger Than We Expected
If you thought LASSO was already locked in with four headliners, think again.
Koe Wetzel and Turnpike Troubadours are now confirmed, which is genuinely exciting for fans of the grittier, outlaw-adjacent side of country. These aren’t festival filler acts. These are artists with devoted fan bases who show up loud and ready.
Then there’s Lily Fitts, an American indie folk and alternative country singer-songwriter who’s been making waves through viral TikTok covers and has picked up support from artists like Zach Bryan and Noah Kahan. If you haven’t heard her yet, LASSO might be your introduction.
LASSO Is Putting Québec Country on the Main Stage
This is the part of the announcement worth paying real attention to.
Seven Québec artists are on the 2026 lineup, and it’s a meaningful statement from a festival that clearly cares about the local scene. Arpin Lépine, Krystel Mongeau (the 2022 Star Académie winner who has been making serious noise in country-pop), Theo Day, Joel Vogt, Léa Jarry, Paige Somerville, and Sorrene are all in. That’s a roster that covers folk-pop, Americana, francophone new country, and country rock, all in one weekend.
For anyone who’s been watching the Québec country scene grow quietly over the past few years, this lineup is a pretty satisfying moment.
Three Canadian Artists Are Competing for a Spot Too
As part of the SiriusXM Canada Top of the Country competition in partnership with the CCMA, three Canadian finalists have earned spots on the festival stage: Morgan Griffiths, Shawnee Kish, and Blue Ridge Band.
If you want to see who’s going to carry Canadian country forward, this is a good place to start.

As the founder of Front Porch Music, I believe that music has the ability to connect people. I love country music, and I love the country music industry as a whole. My goal is to help music fans find new artists to fall in love with.
