Everyone from Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Sting to Selena Gomez and Flo Rida are playing this 11 day Quebec festival

Canadian mega-fest Festival d’été de Québec has dropped quite the dizzying line up of international and local artists, many of whom have had an indelible impact on music’s history, performing alongside future legends across rock, pop, adult contemporary, metal, country, indie, Americana, folk, hip hop, electronica, and pretty much everything else you can think of. Included in the headliners will be rap legend Ice Cube and the undeniable Red Hot Chilli Peppers, sharing a stage with the likes of The Lumineer’s, City and Colour, and Rammstein.

The 11 day festival will take place between 7th and 17th July in several venues across Québec City, including the historic Plains of Abraham.

“We’re proud to announce a line-up featuring more musical styles than ever before: rock, pop, adult contemporary, metal, country, indie, Americana, folk, hip-hop and electro. I would say that this is the strongest program we’ve given our fans in years,” program director Louis Bellavance said.

Check out the official Facebook for more information and updates after you take some time studying the huge list of names on the line-up below.

Tickets are ridiculously affordable, at $90 each during Phase 1 of sales. Phase Two (from June 7th) is set at $100. The Festival pass gives access to all the venues, all the shows for the 11 days of the event.
