The most recent edition of this festival was held in 2019. In 2022, the festival posted a hopeful message on its Facebook page, but it has not been held again.

However, I include this festival because although they have not continued as such, they maintain a powerful concert schedule at the Beanfield Theatre and other venues in Montreal, which you can see on the official Heavy Montreal Festival website.

For the larger festivals you can buy tickets on their own official websites, for smaller venues it is possible to buy at the door, but if you can’t get tickets on the official website or at the box office, you can take a look at the main ticket offices:

• Ticketmaster.
• Eventbrite.
• Wegow.
• And finally, try StubHub or LiveNation.
