LASSO Montréal 2026 Lineup
Country on the island — two days at Parc Jean-Drapeau where Nashville headliners share four stages with Québécois and Canadian acts.
About LASSO Montréal 2026
LASSO is Montreal's country weekend, on the same Parc Jean-Drapeau island that hosts Osheaga and îLESONIQ earlier in the month. The fifth edition runs two days across four stages, with Nashville names at the top and a deep Québécois and Canadian undercard beneath them — that mix is the whole idea. LASSO in the City takes over downtown Montréal on the Friday before the gates open.
Thomas Rhett closes Saturday and Mumford & Sons close Sunday, the second of those a reminder that LASSO reads "country" generously. Jon Pardi and Koe Wetzel take Saturday's other main slots; Old Dominion and the Turnpike Troubadours anchor Sunday. The Sirius XM Backyard sessions stage runs a smaller songwriter format all weekend, and every act's day, stage and start time is published.
Expect country, folk, pop country and indie folk across 36 acts.

A neotraditional holdout in a pop-country era — fiddle and steel up front, honky-tonk shuffle intact.

Texas country crossed with grunge — ragged, loud, and closer to a rock show than a country one.
From Pittsburg, TX · Sounds like Turnpike Troubadours, Cody Jinks, Zach Bryan
Country's most consistent hit-writing band — they wrote a chunk of Nashville's catalogue for other people before keeping the songs for themselves.

Mohawk Canadian singer-songwriter with a big rock-soul voice and an awards-circuit following at home.

The headliners
- Thomas Rhett — Radio country's most reliable hitmaker — a decade of chart-toppers built on easy charm and hooks that lean frankly pop.

Other acts worth planning around
- Thomas Rhett — Saturday's headliner — a decade of radio country condensed into ninety minutes.

- Turnpike Troubadours — Red dirt's cult act — the ones a chunk of this crowd is travelling for.

- Classe Moyenne — French-language country on the main stage — the clearest signal of what makes this festival Montreal's and not Nashville's.
