Festival d'été de Québec announces free public programme for 2025 edition
Festival d'été de Québec – Canada’s largest music festival – has announced The Cat Empire, Los Bitchos, Bibi Club, and dozens more for its annual programme of free performances this July.
In addition to its focus on homegrown artists, the sold-out festival, which celebrates its 57th edition this year, has traditionally run a programme of completely free shows.
Among the line up is Toronto’s folk-punk collective The Lemon Bucket Orkestra, legendary Montreal singer Marjo, Los Bitchos (pictured above), Alix Fernz, Choses Sauvages, La Jungle, Bibi Club, and dozens more.

The festival takes over the heart of historic Quebec City over 11 days from 3-13 July. The all-genre line-up includes huge names such as Shania Twain, Pixies, Avril Lavigne, and Slayer.
