An International Lineup with Strong Québec Roots
True to its mission, Envol et Macadam continues to bring together established artists and emerging talent from around the world.
Among the latest additions to the lineup are Vader (Poland), Jungle Rot (United States), Fleshcrawl (Germany), DVTR (Montréal), Cross Dog (Ontario), Penny & The Pits (New Brunswick), General Chaos (Montréal) and Trash Panda (United States).
The festival also highlights artists from several regions across Québec, including Orloge Simard and Vie de Quartier from Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, Fragmatik from the Beauce region, Nova Spei from Trois-Rivières, Killing Daisies from Sept-Îles, and Drop Out Cold, Dogo Suicide and Tout Croche from the Québec City area, along with many other notable acts from Québec’s alternative music scene.
Envol et Macadam also continues its commitment to diversity and inclusion. This year, nearly 40% of the groups featured on the lineup include at least one female member. This representation reflects the richness of today’s alternative music scene and the evolution of punk, hardcore, metal and alternative communities, where female artists are playing an increasingly important role both on stage and behind the scenes.
