Montréal, April 18, 2024 — Multicolore, the dynamic company behind beloved events like Piknic Électronik and Igloofest, proudly unveils Palomosa, an electrifying new festival set to light up September 5, 6, and 7. Serving as a spiritual successor to the MEG (Montréal Électronique Groove) festival, which began in 1999 thanks to Mustapha Terki and Jacques Primeau, and later integrated into Multicolore's summer lineup in 2018, Palomosa carries forward MEG's legacy of celebrating musical diversity in a festive atmosphere! Today marks the dawn of a new era as the festival unveils its revamped identity in full splendour!
As Montréal bids adieu to summer, Palomosa rides the wave of back-to-school anticipation, imbuing its attendees with the rejuvenating spirit to savour those final outdoor soirées. This all-groove-inclusive fest boasts a diverse lineup spanning pop, rock, R&B, Latin, and EDM, promising an unforgettable experience. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Parc Jean-Drapeau on September 6 and 7, Palomosa will completely transform the venue with its unique layout. Drawing inspiration from sun-drenched summer fun and the cozy hues of twilight skies that mark the season's end, the festival's visual identity sets the stage for a memorable event. September 5 will feature an exclusive pre-launch event, with further details to be revealed soon.
Palomosa's distinctive identity, both in name and aesthetics, was crafted by the innovative minds at design agency Deux Huit Huit. Tasked with capturing the festival's festive, inclusive, and effortlessly cool essence, the team drew inspiration from Montréal's rich underground musical history.
The inaugural lineup for Palomosa's debut edition will be unveiled on Thursday, April 25. In the meantime, enthusiasts are encouraged to subscribe to their newsletter at https://palomosa.com for exclusive updates and insights.
