If you live anywhere in North Eastern North America then you should highly consider heading to Montreal for the weekend (Jul. 31st - Aug. 1st) to catch 2010’s version of the Osheaga Music Festival. There aren’t a lot of options in regards to large scale music festivals in the North East and after 5 years Osheaga really seems to be hitting its stride. The lineup is stacked with talent and is incredibly varied. My top 5 recommendations for must-see bands include:
5) Pavement - Indie rock heroes reunited
4) The National - Amazing new album
3) Snoop Dogg - I don’t really need to explain this choice
2) Deadmau5 - Electro-house dance party
1) Arcade Fire - Hometown heroes return
WatchMojo will once again be attending the Festival and interviewing a plethora of awesome bands. Stay tuned to WatchMojo.com and SoundMojo for the newest interview videos. In the meantime here are some of the bands we interviewed last year at Osheaga 2009:
