Montreal’s Palomosa Festival Moves to May, PinkPantheress Goes ‘Stateside’: Canadian Concerts of the Week

After making an appearance at Justin Bieber’s Coachella set, Sexyy Red comes to Bieber’s home country, along with more artists playing some of this week's biggest Canadian concerts.

Following two years of unpredictable weather and attendance pressure, Montreal’s Palomosa Festival is slated for May, moving up from its previous September slot. Underscoring the festival’s emphasis on boundary-pushing electronic and post-internet sounds, the festival is a unique opportunity to spotlight rising artists on a grand scale.

Also this week, rapper Baby Keem, will headline a night in Vancouver, while buzzy British singer and producer PinkPantheress wraps up her North American tour in Montreal. After hitting the stage with Justin Bieber during Coachella, rapper Sexyy Red is taking over his home country with stops in Toronto and Calgary.
