Osheaga 2026: Relive the 19th Edition with Photos Featuring Twenty One Pilots and Tate McRae

Montreal's Osheaga Music and Arts Festival wrapped its 19th edition at Parc Jean-Drapeau, delivering a packed lineup that ranged from pop stars to local acts. The Gazette photographer Evan Buhler was on the ground to capture it all — from the stage lights to the surging crowds.
Headliners Twenty One Pilots and Tate McRae shared the bill with French-language act Angine de Poitrine and global pop icon Lorde, offering a mix of sounds across the festival's multiple stages, according to The Sudbury Star.
Twenty One Pilots brought their high-energy set to the main stage, a staple of festival circuits worldwide. Lorde, returning to major festival appearances, drew one of the weekend's biggest crowds. Both acts gave Osheaga 2026 some of its most memorable moments, Brantford Expositor reported.
Tate McRae also performed at the 19th edition of the festival. The Canadian pop singer has quickly become a fixture on major North American festival bills. Her set added a homegrown feel to a lineup with strong international star power.
Quebec act Angine de Poitrine was among the local highlights at Osheaga 2026. The French-language group represents the festival's ongoing commitment to showcasing homegrown talent alongside international names. Their inclusion reflects Osheaga's roots as a Montreal cultural event, according to The Whig.
Gazette photographer Evan Buhler covered the full event at Parc Jean-Drapeau. He shot both the performances and the crowd, giving a full picture of the festival atmosphere. His photos show the scale and energy of one of Canada's biggest annual music events, Fort Saskatchewan Record noted.
Buhler shared a selection of his work from the festival. The images capture artists mid-performance as well as fans in the crowd. Together, they offer a visual record of Osheaga's 19th edition from the inside out, according to Cochrane Times Post.
Osheaga has grown into one of the most recognizable music festivals in Canada since its launch. Held every summer at Parc Jean-Drapeau on an island in the St. Lawrence River, it draws tens of thousands of fans each year. The 2026 edition marks 19 straight years of the event, according to Sault Star.
The festival's blend of international headliners and local acts has kept it relevant year after year. Osheaga continues to serve as a showcase for both established stars and emerging Canadian artists, The Observer reported.
