Lasso Montréal has corralled a powerful roster of talent for its third edition this summer.
Organizers have just announced that in addition to previously announced headliners Sam Hunt and Eric Church, the August festival will feature Dustin Lynch, Brett Young, Tyler Hubbard, Megan Moroney, Matt Lang, Kip Moore, Josh Ross, Laurence St-Martin and more. For two days this summer, fans from all over will gather to witness the best in country on the iconic festival grounds of Parc Jean-Drapeau (celebrating 150 years in 2024), overlooking the gorgeous Montreal skyline.
A small-town boy from Tullahoma, Tennessee, Dustin Lynch (right) plans to bring the party to Lasso. He’s a down-home country star with a big sound, a deep voice, and awards from virtually every major country music organization. Lynch will be looking forward to turning the stars above Montreal into confetti for an unforgettable party this summer.
California’s Brett Young will also be on hand, mixing his signature West Coast sound with a heavy dose of southern attitude for a style he refers to “Caliville country.” Young blasted into the stratosphere from the get-go, debuting atop the Billboard Country Albums chart with his gold-certified Ticket To L.A. while his platinum self-titled debut dominated the Top 20 on the Country Albums chart for 37 weeks, all contributing to over eight billion streams.
Tyler Hubbard, known to many as one half of Florida Georgia Line, a duo responsible for some of the biggest countrified hits of the last decade shines bright as a solo artist (as witnessed by anyone who was lucky enough to be present at his sold-out show in Montreal last year). Featuring back-to-back No. 1s, his self-titled solo debut garnered a Favorite Debut Album nomination at this year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards.
From the peach state comes the very talented Megan Moroney. Known for singles like Tennessee Orange and I’m Not Pretty, the young American singer (left) has undeniable talent. With a slew of best new artist nominations (at both the CMA and ACM Awards) under her belt, plus her huge win at the CMT Awards for Breakthrough Female Video of the Year, Moroney’s intimate voice and authentic songs make her a rising star in the country genre. Nashville-based singer Kip Moore has been a mainstay in Music City since he released his smash hit Somethin’ ‘Bout A Truck in 2011, and he hasn’t slowed down since.
Maniwaki, Québec’s Matt Lang will continue his domination of the local scene. His straight-ahead country twang has garnered the local singer over 20 million collective streams globally, as well as the title of six prizes at Québec’s Country Gala, SOCAN’s Country Music Prize and two ADISQ nominations. Medicine Hat’s Mackenzie Porter will make her Lasso debut this year. The fresh-faced singer has already amassed four No. 1s (for About You, These Days, Seeing Other People and Pickup), and her upcoming release marks a return to a more rootsy sound. Hailing from a town called Paradise, Calif., Nate Smith is a former praise and worship singer turned rockin’ powerhouse in the country music world. Since becoming a TikTok sensation with the viral hit Wildfire (loosely inspired by losing his own home to a devastating fire), Smith has been featured on ‘artists to watch’ lists.
At 23 years old, Alana Springsteen (right) is wise beyond her years, having secured a place amongst country icons with hits like Ghost In My Guitar (with Chris Stapleton) and Goodbye Looks Good On You. And Tennessee troubadour Larry Fleet makes the kind of traditional country that simply feels like home (wherever that may be). There is an authenticity to his songs that cuts through straight to the heart.
Kick off the festival early with Lasso In The City, to be held Aug. 15 at a concert venue downtown (more details to come). Plus, more exciting acts will be announced shortly to complete the festival lineup!
