Most of MUTEK events will take place at the MTELUS venue, at the Théâtre Maisonneuve at Place des Arts and at the Société des arts technologies (SAT). The New City Gas will host for a second year three concerts on August 21, including Film Scores for No One: a Project by Patrick Watson. The Montreal musician will present this new instrumental work with modular synthesizers along with several guest surprises.

MUTEK also invites its festivalgoers every evening to the Esplanade Tranquille for free open-air shows. In 2023, nearly 46,000 showed up.

The final musicians participating in MUTEK's 25th anniversary will be announced this summer.

Tory Lanez Announces New Tour Despite Being In Prison

The multi-city Not on "Tor" tour will feature DJs, special guests and music from the rapper's catalogue and make stops in Toronto and Montreal. The rapper will not be there himself, as he continues to a ten-year prison sentence on felony charges stemming from a 2020 shooting incident involving rapper Megan Thee Stallion.

Tory Lanez is hitting the road from behind bars.

The Brampton-born rapper and singer has announced his Not On "Tor" tour, a multi-city experience that will bring his music into a live setting and connect fans to his catalogue while he continues to serve his ten-year prison sentence on felony assault charges. Kicking off on Sept. 25 with five dates across the U.S., the trek will also make two Canadian stops in Montreal and Toronto, whose details have been saved for a forthcoming special announcement.
