What to see at the Francos today?
The event: Robert Charlebois
For those who have not yet attended the great show Robert en CharleboisScope, awarded three Félix at the ADISQ gala in 2020, this is an opportunity not to be missed. But let’s bet that many people who have already seen it will also attend this large-scale free closing show, to hear again this repertoire which does not seem to age – just like the great Garou, who will be 79 on June 24, but which still inhabits the stage with panache.

Bell Stage, 9 p.m.
Extract of All torn apart
Not to be missed: Hauterive
Mara Tremblay and Catherine Durand. Together. How could it not be beautiful, good and touching? The duo formed by these two singer-songwriters, Hauterive, will perform at cocktail hour. It’ll be smooth, fuss-free, drenched in the dust of America, and full of delicious vocal harmonies.

We can’t wait to see… Rap Queb Monuments
Hip-hop celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. In Quebec, local artists have been active participants in culture for some forty years. Among them, Sans Pressure, Yvon Krevé, Taktika, Connaisseur Ticaso, Onze, Cobna, Canox and DJ Crowd. To close the Francos, they will meet at Club Soda this Saturday for the show Back in the Dayz. Beats heavy and raw rhymes guaranteed.
