What to see and listen to at POP Montreal 2023?


It's time again to train for the marathon of discoveries that is the POP Montreal festival, which this year takes place from Wednesday, September 27 to Sunday, October 1. I have the immense honor and privilege of covering the most iconoclastic of Montreal festivals for almost 20 years. I don't remember my first cover, but it must have been around 2005-2006...
