The vast vault of MuchMusic content is open.

As of yesterday, the beloved music video channel has started uploading rare interviews and other classic programming to a new YouTube channel, aptly-titled Much Rewind.


It's been years since the Bell Media-owned channel has aired original music content on TV, with the "Much" channel focusing more on programming from Comedy Central. The platform relaunched as a “digital first network” in collaboration with TikTok in 2021, focusing on "creator-driven content" with new VJs making content for social media and YouTube.

But the Much vaults hold a treasure trove of music history that rarely sees the light of day, including plenty of exclusive interviews dating back to the 1980s. Now, they will finally have a new home.

According to the channel’s description, Much Rewind will feature “full interviews and a nostalgic deep dive into the 80s, 90s and 2000s music culture."

Currently, the channel has four uploads, featuring pop powerhouse Christina Aguilera, rapper Eminem, late R&B icon Aaliyah and rocker Noel Gallagher of Oasis — the latter of whom will be taking the stage in August at Rogers Stadium.

Following the channel announcement on TikTok, users quickly went to the comments with their requests.

"Can you put old shows on there or clips? I LOVED Video on Trial 🤣,” one user wrote.

Another commented: “Muchmusic countdown 🙏🏾.”

One user is hoping for “Any Weird Al takeover!”

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.
