M for Montreal

Montréal · CA

M for Montreal is a music discovery festival and industry conference that runs across Montréal venues each November, with the 2026 edition set for November 18 to 21. It has helped launch acts such as Charlotte Cardin, Men I Trust, and Mac DeMarco, and presents emerging Canadian and international artists in non-competitive showcases in front of more than 500 delegates from labels, agencies, media, and festivals. Both Canadian and international musicians apply through the festival's online call for artists, submitting a bio, music links, and recent photos. A programming team selects the lineup, prioritizing projects ready to grow at home and abroad.
