SUBMISSIONS

Submissions to play POP Montreal 2021 are now open. All solo artists/bands are welcome to apply for the 20th anniversary of the festival.

It’s been a difficult year for everyone and there is a lot of uncertainty in the air, but we remain hopeful for what the future holds. We acknowledge that it’s not just business as usual since we don’t know what things will look like yet, but we’re moving ahead with planning the festival. We’re so thankful for our community’s ongoing support and we’re dedicated to keep showcasing talented artists and connecting everyone through art. Our call for submissions is now open, and we plan on making magic happen in September.
If you would like to submit your music, please take a look at the application form and requirements.

LISTENING SESSIONS

Year after year, Montreal’s finest music curators, musicians, professionals, fans, and listeners get together for hours of listening to each and every band submitted to POP Montreal. With the help of free beer and snacks, listeners are warmly invited to join us every week between February and July. We casually sit around our office couches and (anonymously) vote yay or nay, one submission at a time. Bands are either accepted and submitted to the programming team, or invited to try again next year. If you love listening to music and want to have your say on who should play POP 2021, be sure to join us by registering with artist@popmontreal.com!
