December 22-28
This week:
Montreal is rolling straight from holiday mode into another stacked week of shows, and this edition of the Sunday Round Up zooms in on the latest run at New City Gas, Stereo, and ESC.
Tuesday lands with serious home‑team pride as Kaytranada takes over New City Gas at 10 p.m., turning the warehouse into a late‑night playground of house, hip‑hop, and everything in between. It is the kind of show that feels both like a homecoming and a full‑scale club spectacle, ideal for anyone who wants to dance with what feels like the whole city under one roof.
By Friday the energy shifts into full festival mode with Seven Lions at New City Gas at 10 p.m., serving up melodic bass, soaring vocals, and emotional drops that blur the line between concert and rave. Once the main event winds down, the bravest night owls can head to Stereo, where D.Dan steps up at 11:55 p.m. with a tougher, techno‑driven sound that is tailor‑made for a room that lives for marathon sessions.
Saturday keeps New City Gas in the spotlight as Tchami touches down at 10 p.m., blessing the night with his signature future‑house and gospel‑tinged club tracks. For those who want an alternative take on peak‑time energy, Exphoria 5.0 at ESC, also at 10 p.m., offers a different lane of electronic chaos, leaning into a more immersive, rave‑style atmosphere that rewards curiosity and stamina.
Sunday refuses to coast, giving Montreal a strong closing chapter before the new week hits. Vision Festival x Stereo starts the day party‑style at Stereo at 4 p.m., blending festival sensibilities with the club’s famously dialled-in sound system for an extended, communal daytime dance. Later that night, BUNT at New City Gas at 10 p.m. wraps the weekend with feel‑good, dance‑pop‑leaning energy, the sort of set that makes it easy to forget Monday is just around the corner.
