Delivering a bold cross-section of art forms and events, the festival includes symposium discussions, artisan and visual art exhibitions, workshops, fashion shows, film screenings, and, of course, a few all-night parties. For musicians, artists, fans, curators, critics, record labels and industry, POP Montreal is the North American festival that provides a dynamic introduction to the next generation of musical talent and independent art forms.
The 2011 festival will take place September 21st to the 25th in over 40 venues throughout Montreal. There will be at least 20 slots reserved for Sonicbids artists. Selected artists will be compensated for their performance(s). In 2010, more than 45 Sonicbids bands showcased at POP Montreal.

POP Montreal remains firmly entrenched in the ethic and aesthetics of the Montreal music community. They are committed to providing opportunities for independent musicians, promoters and fans to participate in this world-class event. Because their initiatives began from grassroots efforts, they remain open to all, willingly engaging all ideas and inspiration. They will not become some compromised showcase for untried bands and the big record execs that feed off of them. POP Montreal challenges this linear equation and strives to be provocative and encourage artists to involve themselves in making this happen.
Submit Now: POP Montreal will stop accepting submissions once they've received 2,000 submissions on Sonicbids. This may happen prior to the stated deadline.
