Osheaga 2026 is 84 days away!

Our Unofficial Osheaga Podcast is back for 2026! Sure it’s only May but we’ve got over 80 artists to dig through so let’s get this thing started.

(More or less) every two weeks Sarah and I have been 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.

As always we’ll be listening to music and talking about some of our favorite acts all summer long.

If you’re like us you might have heard of some of the bigger acts headlining each day of the festival but it’s hard to be familiar with the entire lineup. We’re here to make discoveries and let you know about some of the acts a little further down the lineup. So (for the purposes of this show) we ruled out the entire top line of each day of the lineup.

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 artists.

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

See You at Osheaga!
