L’édition 2025 du festival Osheaga a démarré sur les chapeaux de roue, portée par une programmation résolument éclectique. Entre James Hype, Luidji, Lucy Dacus et Barry Can’t Swim, l’heure n’était clairement pas aux temps morts.

Parmi les moments les plus mémorables, on compte le tout premier Osheaga du groupe français La Femme, que le public montréalais a accueilli avec une ferveur prouvant leur marque indélébile d’un coin à l’autre de la francophonie. Sans surprise, Dominic Fike a également livré un set maîtrisé, langoureux et fidèle à sa signature. The Killers, eux, n’ont pas attendu pour plonger dans le dur : Mr. Brightside en ouverture, pour mettre la foule d’accord d’emblée. Et comme si cela ne suffisait pas, Lucy Dacus est également venue les rejoindre par surprise pour interpréter Read My Mind.


À quelques pas de là, Jorja Smith a enchaîné ses classiques sans faiblir, devant une foule qui lui a renvoyé chaque note et chaque souffle, jusqu’à l’unisson parfait de Little Things.

Mais celle qui a redéfini le tempo de la soirée est indiscutablement Doechii. En popstar née totale, sa fidèle complice DJ Miss Milan derrière les platines, ce qu’elle a offert au public plein à craquer tient moins de la performance chantée que du moment de grâce férocement artistique. De l’imparable Anxiety à des morceaux plus confidentiels comme Slide, en passant par un Persuasive intemporel, la chanteuse couronnée de trois Grammys a maintenu une intensité remarquable que le public a bu jusqu’à la toute dernière goutte.

Pas même un trépied de micro têtu en début de set n’a réussi à ruiner le moment.

Un départ aussi corsé pourrait laisser craindre un essoufflement sur les deux jours suivants... jusqu’à ce que l’on se rappelle de ce qui nous attend rien que pour la journée de samedi : Tyler, The Creator, Shaboozey, Gracie Abrams, The Chainsmokers. Osheaga n’a clairement pas tiré sa dernière carte.

Ontario Passes Bill to Crack Down on Ticket Resale Prices

Ontario has taken a big step to strictly limit how much tickets can be resold for. Under new amendments to the Tickets Sales Act, resellers will no longer be allowed to charge more than the original “all-in” purchase price, which includes the base ticket cost along with all service fees, taxes, and additional charges.

The change directly targets price gouging in the secondary market, where tickets for popular concerts, sporting events, and live performances are often listed at several times their original value. By capping resale prices, the provincial government says it aims to create a more transparent and fair system for consumers who are frequently priced out of high-demand events.
