The names of the first artists on the bill for the Coup de cœur francophone festival were revealed on Thursday. On the menu this year, between November 7 and 17: a concert by Marjo at Les Foufounes Électriques, a performance by the Boulay Sisters as part of their duo tour and the return of the Brazilian Mônica Freire.

The Boulay Sisters will play at the Gesù on November 16, while the reunion with Mônica Freire will take place at the Théâtre Outremont.

This first wave of announcements suggests a rather feminine program, since we will also count on the presence of Émilie Laforest and Jeanne Laforest in evenings shared with the Forestuor at the Lion d’Or, as well as the poet and author -composer-performer Daria Colonna and du Belladone (Montreal artist recipient of the CCF prize at Francouvertes 2024), for a show at Bain Mathieu.

Latest names revealed Thursday: Cléa Vincent and Félix Dyotte as well as Baie et pateaugoire, who will share the stage during two evenings at the Ministry.
