Igloofest Montreal Gets Four Tet, Bladee, Skepta for 2025 Lineup

Igloofest is preparing for a heated 17th edition in the depths of Montreal winter.

U.K. electronic musician Four Tet and Swedish rapper and Drain Gang mastermind Bladee will both take the festival's outdoor stage, helping the crowd get some friction going amidst frigid temperatures. So will British rapper Skepta, bringing his Más Tiempo house DJ set to Montreal.

Four Tet last played the festival in 2019 — and nearly lost some fingers, according to Igloofest — and since then he's only become a bigger name, performing with dance music breakout Fred Again.. and hitmaker Skrillex.

Canadian duo Zeds Dead, German DJ Claptone, Belgian-born and Montreal-based Apashe, and Swedish House Mafia's Steve Angello will also each headline one night across the four weekends of the festival.

There's plenty of Canadian talent braving the winter cold this year. Local favourite Marie Davidson is doing a DJ set as part of a showcase curated by Montreal collective Homegrown Harvest, Montreal producer Priori will open for Avalon Emerson and Four Tet, and Montreal-based Moroccan duo Elles&U will get the crowd warmed up for Turkish DJ Mahmut Orhan.

The outdoor dance music festival, which sets up shop in Montreal's Old Port neighbourhood every year, has become an annual staple for its ability to get Montrealers out of the house during the hibernation months of January and February. The festival will also be bringing parties to Quebec City and Gatineau in 2025, as part of its Monster Tour.

Igloofest 2025 runs every weekend from January 16 to February 8. Tickets go on sale November 6 at 11 a.m.
