îLESONIQ takes place in Parc Jean-Drapeau on Île Saint-Hélène, a peaceful island set just outside the bustling hub of Montréal, one of North America’s most exciting cities. This beautiful site is a mixture of rolling meadows and forested areas accented by flowerbeds and open-air artwork brought to the island for Montréal’s Expo ’67. îLESONIQ's three stages are spread out amidst this unique and beautiful park.

The îLESONIQ festival site will be open from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. on August 9 and 10, 2025.

Performances begin at 2 p.m.!

Yes, îLESONIQ is an all-ages event! Children aged 10 and under are admitted for free when accompanied by an adult with a valid îLESONIQ festival ticket. From 11 years old and over, they must have a valid ticket to enter.

*Due to the limited space available in the premium spaces, each person admitted to these sections will need to have a FRONT STAGE, GOLD, SKY LOUNGE ticket or DIAMOND, including children.

Summer in Montreal is usually hot and sunny, so sunglasses and sunscreen are highly recommended. The weather can be unpredictable, and we suggest you bring a jacket, raincoat or poncho in case of bad weather.
