Canada’s Best: Igloofest Montreal

While some cities choose to hibernate through the winter months in their own quiet and pathetic ways, Montreal chooses to embrace the cold by hosting one of the biggest electronic music festivals in Canada – Igloofest.

Right in the midst of the winter freeze, spreading musical mirth across an icy riverbank, you’ll find some of electronic music’s most talented heavy hitters sharing their beats with over 60,000 people decked out in outrageous one-piece snow suits.

For the mere price of $15 a head, the lineup is downright majestic. Just this past weekend, the party headlined with Max Cooper, Sébastien Léger and TIND. And if those names sound far from familiar, it’s time to do some exploration because the French sure as hell know how to drop a good beat.

Next week’s lineup is pretty close to ridiculous with Diplo and Green Velvet representing the US, so there is still time to exercise your dancing freedom the authentic Canadian way.

If this is your first time, take note: wear everything you own, show up early if you want to get in, and set your body free to the sounds of the underground.
