A sign that spring is coming (let’s be optimistic), the Santa Teresa festival – the “first stop of summer” – unveiled its program on Thursday. The group Karkwa, the French rapper Ziak and Daniel Bélanger will be the headliners this year.
This eighth edition of the Santa Teresa festival will take place from May 9 to 12, still in the streets of downtown Sainte-Thérèse, in the Basses-Laurentides.
On the music side, Karkwa will launch the festivities on Friday evening, preceded by Thierry Larose and Les Deuxluxes. On Saturday, rap will be in the spotlight with artists Ziak, Caballero & JeanJass, MUZION, Beendo Z and Ya Cetidon. Daniel Bélanger will perform on Sunday, as will Bibi Club, comment debord, Robert Robert and the French group Miel de Montagne.

New this year: a comedy evening has been added to the program, and it will take place on Thursday, May 9, the very first day of the festival. It is Arnaud Soly who will be the leader of the ball with a show called Soly Teresa. The festival promises a “crowd of guests”, including Pierre-Yves Roy-Desmarais, Maude Landry and Daphné Létourneau. Also on the program, the recording in front of an audience of a podcast by Brick and Brack.
DJs are also on the schedule all four evenings: DJ White Russian on Thursday, DJ Poulet on Friday, Ju! this (DJ Set) on Saturday and DJ Arielle Roberge on Sunday.
The “Gross pass”, which gives access to the four days of shows on the Grosse Scène Loto-Québec, will be available from Saturday, February 24, from 10 a.m. Daily tickets will go on sale later. Several free shows will also be presented throughout the festival on the Desjardins Stage, at the Urlu (SiriusXM Chapel) and at the Cha Cha.
