For 11 days this July, Quebec City will host some of the music world's biggest names for the latest instalment of its annual Festival d'été de Québec. The organizers have now confirmed the names of the artists who will play this year's event from July 3 to 13.
The lineup is a mix of chart-topping mega stars, emerging indie acts and heroes of yesteryear. Performers include Lady Gaga, Queens of the Stone Age, Soundgarden, St. Vincent, A$AP Rocky, Tegan and Sara, Gogol Bordello, Cypress Hill, Snoop Dogg, the Killers, Daniel Lanois, Billy Joel, Bryan Adams, Journey, Steve Miller Band, John Mayall, Serena Ryder, Blondie, the Pretty Reckless, Young the Giant, Jake Bugg, Local Natives, Gary Clark Jr., Father John Misty, Stars, Radio Radio, Bonobo, July Talk, Royal Canoe, Noah Gundersen, San Fermin, Solids, Badbadnotgood, and many more.
These performers will appear at various outdoor stages around Quebec City (the Plains of Abraham, Parc de la Francophonie, Place D'Youville) and at a couple of indoor venues (Impérial de Québec, Le Cercle).
In addition to the aforementioned acts, the Festival d'été de Québec will include its DJ-centric ElectroFEQ series at four venues. Details for this EDM series are still forthcoming.
The first 60,000 passes will go for $68, and the rest will be sold for $78 (including taxes and service fees). They go on sale on Saturday (April 12) at noon and give access to all of the shows over the 11 days. Once these full festival passes sell out, day passes will be made available.
There are also more expensive Front Stage Zone Cards that give access to the area at the very front at the Plains of Abraham stage.
