What Happened
On February 24, the organizers of Montreal’s Osheaga Music and Arts Festival announced the full lineup for its 2026 edition, scheduled for July 31 to August 2 at Parc Jean-Drapeau. The xx will headline the festival alongside major acts such as Geese, Lorde, Turnstile, and Clipse. A total of 87 acts will perform over the weekend, including Twenty One Pilots, Kehlani, and Major Lazer.
Why It Matters
The xx’s return marks a significant moment for fans, as the band has not performed together since 2018. Their participation in Osheaga 2026 is part of a larger comeback, with the band also scheduled to perform at other major festivals like Coachella and Primavera Sound. This announcement follows their ongoing work on new music, which has been in progress since 2023.
What’s Next
Tickets for Osheaga 2026 will be available for American Express cardmembers starting February 24 at 12:00 p.m. ET, with general sales for three-day passes beginning on February 27 at 10:00 a.m. ET. Fans are encouraged to sign up for the Osheaga newsletter for presale access and further updates on the festival lineup.
