Concerts on roofs and album launches
Pop Montreal will invest this year new places in Mile End and Mile-Ex that will host ephemeral concerts (pop-up
), for example the Atlantic tavern, the Wills bar and the emblematic terrace on the roof of the head office of Ubisoft Montreal, on Boulevard Saint-Laurent, where the enigmatic angina group of angina, from Saguenay, will occur.
The angina chest duo is recognized for their destabilizing music and surrealist performance.

Many labels will also be on site to offer concerts that showcase their artists, such as Paper Bag Records, Bonbonbon and the Prince, who will celebrate 10 years with Hawa B, Shirley, Jesuslesfilles and several others.
