Osheaga Podcast 2025 (Unofficial) - Friday - Part 1

Osheaga 2025 is 79 days away!

Our Unofficial Osheaga Podcast is back for 2025! As always, we’re kicking things off chronologically (it just seems the best way to go) and starting with Friday’s lineup!

(More or less) every two weeks Sarah and I will be digging into the entire lineup of this year’s Osheaga to give you music recommendations all summer long. We pick ten acts from each day, we talk about them, play clips of their tunes to give you a feel for their music and tell you why we think they’re worth checking.

We’re having fun and talking about music all summer long, won’t you join us?

But wait – you don’t need us to tell you why you should probably check out The Killers now do you? So (for the purposes of this show) we ruled out the entire top line of each day of the lineup. So yes, that means you will need to decide for yourself if you’re going to see the likes of The Chainsmokers or not.

Trust us, if you listen to all of these episodes you might find yourself running back and forth between stages all weekend and discovering your new favourite artist.

Here is our first batch of 5 “non-headline” acts we think are worth checking out for Friday !

• EKKSTACY – head in the clouds
• Wunderhorse – Rain
• PyPy’s Poodle Wig
• The Struts – Can’t Stop Talking
• La Femme – Love is Over

See You at Osheaga!

Osheaga runs from August 2nd to August 4th at Parc Jean Drapeau. Check out osheaga.com for more info and tickets.
