Headlining the Bell Stage on the Plains of Abraham are some of the biggest names in music. Rock and pop icons Rod Stewart, Shania Twain, and Def Leppard will share the stage with contemporary favourites like Hozier, Avril Lavigne, Benson Boone, and reggaeton star Farruko. Heavy metal legends Slayer will bring their raw energy, while Kygo leads an electrifying electro-infused evening. FEQ has also curated a dynamic and complementary supporting lineup for each night, featuring acts like Simple Plan, Pixies, Remi Wolf, and many more.

“FEQ is more than just a festival; it’s a shared treasure that we have been building for 57 years and will continue to grow,” says Nicolas Racine, President and CEO of BLEUFEU. “This cultural gem, shaped by generations of passionate people, should never be taken for granted. It embodies boldness and creativity.”

The festival’s second major venue, Place George-V, will host performances on the Loto-Québec and SiriusXM Stages, with standout acts including Alessia Cara, Thundercat, and George Thorogood & The Destroyers. Meanwhile, the free Hydro-Québec and Crave Stages will spotlight emerging talent and diverse musical styles, from jazz to indie-folk to world music.

“This year, our lineup is rich and dynamic, featuring legendary artists with nothing left to prove while also spotlighting the hottest talents of the moment,” adds Louis Bellavance, VP of Content and Artistic Direction at BLEUFEU.

With an unparalleled mix of genres and a vibrant festival atmosphere, FEQ 2025 is set to deliver magical moments for music fans of all shapes and sizes. Festival passes go on sale this Thursday, February 29, at noon ET.
