A Star-Studded Piknic Électronik 🌟
Parc Jean-Drapeau will host a constellation of stars this summer. The mesmerizing beats of Moroccan producer Ahmed Spins will kick it all off on Sunday, May 19 on the Fizz stage. The following day, French industrial soundsmith Nico Moreno will be dusting off the site after months of hibernation. Poland's VTSS will be back in Montreal, and fans of uncompromising techno won’t want to miss it! Leading British dub duo Chase & Status will also be on hand, as will Germany's Township Rebellion, sure to intoxicate piknicers with their mystical aura. Our very own Jacques Greene is on the Piknic bill, ready to deliver his signature suave performance – the secret to his exceptional international career. Other not-to-be-missed performers include American Sara Landry, a new icon on the global EDM scene, and the bewitching French oriental duo Acid Arab, whose DJ sets are renowned for taking listeners on an elated and colourful journey. Techno goes international: MCR-T is ambassador to the Berlin scene, TDJ will be repping Montreal, and Sammy Virji will be waving England's UKG flag. A true pillar of house music, New Yorker Dennis Ferrer will be giving a lesson in house music that’s sure to be memorable!
It Ain’t Over Until We Say It Is 😉
As summer transitions to fall, Piknic Électronik keeps the party spirit alive and kicking. Prepare for an unforgettable encore featuring the legendary Misstress Barbara, as well as the energetic Hot Since 82, followed by the frenzied rhythms of Haitian Francis Mercier. And since ending the season with bang is a house specialty, Piknic Électronik will be hosting BLOND:ISH and her revitalizing energy, up-and-coming talent Mall Grab, as well the nostalgic rhythms of England’s Marsh. And as a grand finale, how about fist pumping to the melodies of Frenchman Joachim Pastor (Live)?
