Angine de Poitrine Sweep the ADISQ Awards with Five New Wins: See the Full List of 2026 Winners

Aside from a few words in their invented alien language, the duo quickly became the talk of the ceremony without doing any themselves, thanks to a series of comical gags. The pair flamed a hot dog onstage, hung a Félix award from their nose, went fishing from the second-floor balcony and pretended to communicate via a polka-dotted telephone borrowed from the engineer at the mixing console, who received a polka-dotted cap from the pair. It follows suit with their other viral award moments over the past year, including their wordless speech at Billboard Canada Power Players 2026 and their double victory at the Polaris Music Prize ceremony.
They even made headlines before the ceremony began, as they were wheeled onto the red carpet while standing stiff on hand trucks. The pair even posed for a photo with Quebec's new minister of culture, heritage, communications and the French language Pascal Bérubé, who sat behind the pair during the ceremony and joked about his obstructed view on Instagram.
Lou-Adriane Cassidy continued her ADISQ victory streak by being named female artist of the year for a second year in a row and winning for show of the year, adding to her three wins at this year's industry and her staggering twelve wins in 2025. After being one of this year's top nominees, Les Louanges took home male artist of the year, adding a fourth win to his Premier Gala honours, while Inuk-Mohawk singer Beatrice Deer was crowned Indigenous artist of the year and won Indigenous album of the year categories for Intuit Legend, even taking the stage to sing "Aukkauti" in a joint performance with Dominique Fils-Aimé.

Charlotte Cardin returned home to give the ADISQ crowd a live taste of her upcoming "shadow album" Midnight, mon amour live, delivering a sleek performance of her Billboard Canadian Hot 100 hit "Tant pis pour elle" and her recent single "Memories (Souvenirs)," which impacted last week's chart.
Quebec psychedelic rock veteran Robert Charlebois also graced the ADISQ stage at 82 years old to perform a stellar medley of his most iconic hits, including the ADISQ-winning "J’t’aime comme un fou" and "Ordinaire," while pop band Bleu Jeans Bleu kicked off the night with their track "Scotch & poches."

Quebec pop singer-songwriter and Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Diane Tell also took home the first-ever Félix Reconnaissance (recognition award) in light of her milestone 50 years in the music business, a prize meant to "celebrate an artist’s career before a wide audience and introduce younger audiences to their repertoire."
