Green Day sets the tone for the rock and punk crowd, with plenty of punk rock fire to please the fans, courtesy of old school legends Rancid, LA rockers The Linda Lindas, 90’s indie favourites Sleater-Kinney, and grunge icons The Smashing Pumpkins, who haven’t graced the OSHEAGA stage since the festival's 2nd edition in back in 2007!
2024’s biggest musical force, SZA, is headlining OSHEAGA this year, as well, and her R&B and pop influences can be felt throughout, with plenty of soulful vibes, including legendary hip-hop pioneer T-Pain, making his debut at the festival. The lineup also includes a wide variety of Afrobeat and Afropop performers like recent GRAMMY winner Tyla, who took home THE FIRST EVER Best African Music Performance award at the 2024 GRAMMYs for her worldwide smash hit, “Water”, as well as Nigerian singer Ayra Starr, and Haiti’s Michaël Brun - if his memorable sold-out show at the last year’s Festival International de Jazz de Montréal was any indication, this performance will be a massive party!
Noah Kahan’s headline performance will be one of his very rare festival appearances this summer. Hozier, who sold out Place Bell last year in front of an adoring crowd, will take the stage with his magnetic stage presence. One of the most exciting names on this year's lineup is new Mean Girl, Reneé Rapp, the Broadway star with incredibly powerful pipes who delivered a much-talked about sold-out show at MTELUS last October. Stephen Sanchez, who seems to come from a bygone era, always adds a little danger to his timeless music. Teddy Swims, another big voice currently trending huge on TikTok with his genre-bending roots style will join the lineup, as well as Melanie Martinez, the alt-pop phenom with over 12 billion streams.
