For the 8th edition of the constantly evolving festival, fans are invited to the Plaine des jeux on August 6th and 7th, 2016 – steps away from Parc Jean-Drapeau metro station on Île Sainte-Hélène – which will be specially set up to welcome thousands of fans to the site during two memorable days of rock celebration. The Plaine des jeux site is well known by festivalgoers, who have been visiting it for several years. By bringing together the HEAVY MONTRÉAL shows on three stages installed in a clearing surrounded by mature trees, the organizers want to create an intimate atmosphere that will heighten the magic of the moment. Festivalgoers will be able to fully enjoy this exceptional site and make it their own; the Plaine des jeux being the ideal location to live the rock and metal experience to the fullest.
Ticket Price: $149.50 (General Admission); $275.00 (Gold Pass)
