This November, we’re crossing the Atlantic, bringing Dork’s Night Out to Montreal for the very first time as part of M for Montréal 2025, presented by SiriusXM.
The festival celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, running from Wednesday 19th to Saturday 22nd November, with more than 80 artists performing across 15 iconic venues in the city.
M for Montréal has built a reputation as one of the world’s most vital showcases for emerging talent – a meeting point for fans, delegates and tastemakers looking for the next big thing. This year’s edition promises to be one of its strongest yet: a fiery lineup of homegrown names and international arrivals, all descending on a city built for live music.
Dork’s Night Out will make its international debut by taking over legendary late-night haunt L’Esco for three nights of cutting-edge Canadian artists, each one underlining why the country’s music scene is becoming one of the most eye-opening anywhere in the world.
