M for Montreal announces 2025 lineup

The 2025 edition of M for Montreal happens November 19-22 at venues all over the city. This year marks the festival and conference’s 20th anniversary, and as usual the first two days are more industry-oriented, with Official Selection showcases and panel discussions, while Friday and Saturday open up into a full-blown public festival across 15 different Montreal clubs and theaters.

M for Montreal has just announced the 20th anniversary lineup, and it’s a terrific mix of established acts, a few Montreal scene vets, international acts and the kind of emerging Canadian talent that the festival is known for. It includes BADBADNOTGOOD, Choses Sauvages, Digable Planets, Colin Stetson, Gruff Rhys, Kiwi Jr, Annie-Claude Deschenes, The Besnard Lakes, Hollerado, Karneef, Rachel Bobbitt, Afternoon Bike Ride, Truck Violence, Yoo Doo Right, Fine Food Market, Rowjay, Samant, and more.

As usual, BrooklynVegan will be there, including an Official Showcase (our first at M since 2013!) and we’ll have details on that soon. Festival passes ($75 Canadian) are on sale and you can check out the full lineup and festival poster below.
