AUGUST 10 - 11 | PARC JEAN-DRAPEAU
AUGUST 9 | îLESONIQ IN THE CITY
NON-STOP DANCE PARTY, STRAIGHT AHEAD!
îLESONIQ 2024 IS SHAPING UP TO BE ONE OF
THE HOTTEST PARTIES ON THE PLANET!
The 2024 edition of îLESONIQ presented by Bell - Canada’s premiere dance music festival - is only 1 week away, and the buzz of excitement in this city is turning into a deafening roar, the kind of roar that will be felt and heard all over the iconic Parc Jean Drapeau festival site on August 10th and 11th. Taking place on beautiful Île Sainte-Hélène, overlooking the majestic skyline of Montreal, the 9th edition of îLESONIQ has been carefully curated by the booking team who take immense pride in programming a festival with a cohesive and diversified daily lineup that appeals to fans of all forms of dance music and its subgenres within the dance world and keep happy feet moving all weekend.
With a lineup anchored by France’s DJ Snake (whose final show, scheduled for 2025 in his home country, sold 80,000 tickets in just three minutes) and the Dutch DJ known around the globe as the Godfather of EDM, Tiësto, îLESONIQ 2024 is already legendary-in-the-making. This year’s lineup is a robust list of who’s who in the world of beats and bass, with highly anticipated sets by Loud Luxury and Subtronics (who will be taking the stage for magical sunset performances), actor/ DJ Idris Elba, Wooli, dubstep heavyweights Space Laces, Eptic, and Svdden Death coming together to perform their Canadian debut of Masterhand, and many more!
In addition to a multitude of shows, a wide range of activities awaits festivalgoers who will be able to discover relaxation and dining areas!
Culinary Lineup
A diverse selection of food will be provided on-site to satisfy your festival cravings, with most of our food vendors offering at least one vegetarian option, because music just sounds so much better with tasty food and refreshing drinks! Looking for a healthy option? Head to the food tents where you’ll find fresh bánh mì sandwiches, and poke and Mediterranean bowls, just to name a few. Food trucks will have you covered if you’re looking for festival favourites such as burgers, poutines and tacos.
Check out the YUL EAT Gardens, where you’ll be welcome to share a bite with friends and explore new flavours at the numerous stands including Chom Chom, Tropikal, Pizzéria 900, Barranco and Shaka Vibes.
You’ll also find a host of on-site bars offering a variety of beers, ready-to-drink and signature cocktails, and many non-alcoholic options!
Technical advancements
This year, the festival site has levelled up for maximum enjoyment with a mind-blowing audio visual setup! By the numbers, the 2024 edition of îLESONIQ is impressive to say the least - with 230 speakers & surround sound system, 112 subwoofers, 14 delay towers, 24 lasers, 132 CO2 cylinders, 4 bubble machines, 22 flame generators and much much more!
