Saramée at 2025 Premier Gala de l’ADISQ
The 46th edition of the Premier Gala de l’ADISQ was a vibrant celebration of Quebec music — setting the stage for the main gala on November 9.
The 2025 Premier Gala de l’ADISQ celebrated the best of Quebec music.
Held on November 5 at Montréal’s Théâtre Wilfrid-Pelletier and hosted by Saramée, the event once again showcased the richness and diversity of the Francophone music scene.
Lou-Adriane Cassidy emerged as one of the night’s biggest winners, taking home multiple trophies, including female performer of the year. Klô Pelgag also stood out with several Félix Awards, as did Pierre Lapointe, recognized for his refined and theatrical approach to chanson.
Among other winners were Elisapie (show of the year – reinterpretations and script of the year), Guylaine Tanguay (country album), who earned the first Félix of her career, and Klô Pelgag again, who also picked up the awards for alternative album and video of the year. Pierre Lapointe received the Félix for adult contemporary album.
On the emerging artist front, Jay Scøtt further won rap album of the year — a strong sign of the vitality of the province’s French-language hip-hop scene.
The gala featured standout performances from Les Louanges, Cœur de Pirate, Ariane Roy and host Saramée herself, in a show that balanced elegance and energy.
Broadcast on ICI Télé, this 46th edition of the Premier Gala de l’ADISQ was a vibrant reminder of the importance of local creation — setting the stage for the main gala on November 9, where Quebec music will continue to shine far beyond its borders.
