You just thought the festival season was winding down soon right? Well, how could it without the announcement of this year’s POP Monteral? The annual event will run from October 1-5, 2008, and early bird passes are on special now until August 31. The special puts the five day tickets at a hefty $175.00, with a price hike on September 1 to $225.00.
The initial lineup just went live, and there are some great acts on the bill. In addition to the awesome music, POP Montreal will host several side segments including Kids POP, Puces POP, Art POP, Film POP and Symposium – Talk Music To Me.
