More on Osheaga Festival
Osheaga Festival was founded by Nick Farkas in 2006. The festival derives its name from the historical name given to Montreal by the First Nation inhabitants of the region, the St. Lawrence Iroquoian and the Mohawk of Kahnawake.
The inaugural festival was held on Labour Day weekend in 2006 and quickly became a major attraction thanks to its diverse lineup, particularly in the indie-music scene, and expanded to a global audience in the subsequent editions.
Speaking about the success of the festival with The Maritime Edit magazine in 2019, Nick Farkas stated:
"Because Montreal is kind of unique, we thought the only way to do a festival properly in this market — that would reflect what people want to see and what this market is about — would be to create our own event. We started out as mostly indie rock, barely any radio play for the artists that we booked."
The founder continued:
"But we knew that in order to be successful we needed to draw people from all over. From the very beginning, how the bands were treated and what the fans experienced were incredibly important. We made a statement that, regardless of who the artist was, we would pay attention to the production, the sound and lights, the food, the art."
Osheaga festival is currently one of the largest festivals in Canada, with its 2023 edition having attracted a crowd of over 150,000 people per day. The festival has played host to musical acts such as The Cure, Beck, Coldplay, and more.
