List of music from Montréal

The "Montreal Music Scene" has recently garnered much attention in popular media (The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Spin Magazine, BBC, NPR...). The growing success of the current "scene" owes much to a couple of bold local record labels (Alien8 Recordings & Constellation Records), as well as the Pop Montreal Music Festival.

The city's culture, a melting pot of nations from around the world, has produced a variety of artists and bands who are currently enjoying the limelight of "Montreal's music scene".

  • L'Hémisphère Gauche is a popular indie venue. The bar's full slate of live independent and underground music makes it an increasingly popular hangout.
  • Casa Del Popolo and La Sala Rossa are two of the city's many venues for independent bands, national and international touring acts.
  • Mile End Cultural Centre and The Green Room are two other venues that are jointly managed. The Mile End Cultural Centre stage is referred to as “Main” Hall, because of its location on Boulevard St. Laurent, which is also known as 'The Main.'
