Red Bull Music Academy will be taking place for the first time ever in Montreal

Red Bull Music Academy has traveled far and wide for nearly two decades, bringing its amazing program of events, exhibitions, workshops, lectures, and studio sessions to a different city each year.

This time around, the program will take over Montreal from September 24 to October 28, 2016, making it the first Red Bull Music Academy to be held in Canada since the Toronto edition in 2007.

“As a strong cultural metropolis, Montreal is proud to be the host city to such a rich and vibrant event. Music plays a strong part in our cultural industry and a key role in our international reputation. Thank you to the Phi Centre for partnering with the Red Bull Music Academy.” Shared mayor of Montréal, Mr. Denis Coderre.

So why should you be excited? Because over a course of five weeks, 70 carefully selected producers, vocalists, beat-makers, instrumentalists, and DJs from around the world will come together at the Phi Centre to share personal perspectives and ideas on every facet of music making.

But wait, there’s more.

During this five-week period, Montreal will be flooded with concerts, club nights, and public talks at our city’s best music and cultural venues.

When Red Bull does something, they do it big.

Montreal will be the 18th host of Red Bull Music Academy’s annual conference and festival.
