Osheaga 2026 Lineup Is Out — Lorde, The xx, and Turnstile Top a Stacked Bill

The Headliners You Need to Know

Get ready, Montreal. Osheaga has just dropped its 2026 lineup, and it’s a serious mix of indie royalty, punk energy, and pop stars. The festival’s biggest names are led by:

• Lorde — The iconic singer-songwriter returns to the festival stage.
• The xx — The atmospheric, minimalist trio brings their cool vibes.
• Turnstile — The hardcore-punk-meets-alt-rock crew that’s taking over everything.
• Geese — The Brooklyn-based indie-rock group with a massive cult following.
• Clipse — The legendary hip-hop duo, a major get for any festival.

More Massive Acts on the Bill

That’s just the start. The rest of the lineup is stacked from top to bottom with artists you’ll definitely want to see. The “big font” acts include:

• Major Lazer
• YOASOBI
• Gunna
• Zara Larsson
• Subtronics (for the bass music fans)
