Pop Montreal 2015 has added new acts to it’s lineup, highlights include a once in a life time performance by The Besnard Lakes playing as a 17 piece band (strings, horns, vibes, percussion, vocals).

Other artists include Brazilian songwriter Arto Lindsay who will come to Montreal and work with a cast of local musicians for a special collaborative show; the British avant-pop composer Micachu returning to Montreal with her bands The Shapes; Malian blues troubadour Vieux Farka Touré performing at the intimate and historic Ukrainian Federation; and the return of early 90’s Halifax indie trio Rebecca West.
