The time has come! The long awaited OSHEAGA Get Together presented by Bell in collaboration with Coors Light is upon us, and this weekend is primed to be an unforgettable reunion for fans of music and arts looking for a return to normal! The Get Together begins this Friday at the Espace 67 site of Parc Jean-Drapeau, on beautiful Île Sainte-Hélène. Here is a list of everything festival goers need to know about this special edition of Canada's most iconic music festival!
DOCKS + EXPERIENTIAL ZONES
In order to ensure adequate physical distancing throughout the event, the site will be divided in sections of up to 500 people called private DOCKS! Fans will be able to travel from their own dock, equipped with a bar, restrooms, and a small snack bar, to the 'ISLANDS' of VICTORIA, ORLEANS and BAFFIN to find a variety of food vendors to suit all tastes and cravings and to generally chill out between sets!
LINEUP UPDATES
For reasons beyond the festival's control, Grandson cannot make it to OSHEAGA Get Together. He will be replaced by American synth pop superstars LANY, who have toured in support of acts like Troye Sivan and Halsey. They will undoubtedly play songs from their brand new album gg bb xx.
Tommy Genesis will also have to pull out for reasons beyond the festival's control, but the public will have the opportunity to discover the talented Fernie who has been making major waves in Quebec with his first album, Aurora, released in September.

FUN ACTIVATIONS FROM OUR SPONSORS
Thanks to the expertise of the Montreal-based company Creative Lab, Bell offers you a light and sound experience that will heat up the stage before each OSHEAGA Get Together set, with a short audiovisual blitz on the big screens and delay towers with a countdown to each act as they prepare to rock the stage, adding to the magic of the festival experience!
National Bank will keep festival goers hydrated for a third year by providing water bottle filling stations on site. The National Bank will also give back to the community by making a $10,000 donation to the evenko foundation to provide musical instruments to schools in need.

The festival is also proud to highlight the presence of GRIP Montréal, once again this year, a non-profit organisation whose mission is to reduce the harm associated with the consumption of psychoactive substances and prevent problematic use, on the festival site. On this occasion, GRIP Montréal will have a relaxation space named the ''Haven'' to accompany festival goers who need some quiet time, rest, and support from a qualified worker.
As a way of saying thank you to health care workers for the incredible work they do every day, OSHEAGA will have the pleasure of welcoming close to 1,000 staff members from the Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) and the Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux du Centre-Ouest-de-l'Île-de-Montréal (CIUSSS du Centre-Ouest-de-l'Île-de-Montréal) for its Get Together. A well-deserved reward!
