Les Années Tranquilles (The Quiet Years)
Born from the sweeping winds of Acadia and fueled by the warmth of country music, Les Gars du Nord brings together seven longtime musical collaborators: Wilfred LeBouthillier, Danny Boudreau, Maxime McGraw, Jean-Frédéric Lizotte, Nicolas Basque, Danny Bourgeois and Mike Bourgeois. Together, they proudly celebrate a vibrant and festive Francophone culture through songs rooted in authenticity, humour and genuine emotion.
Since joining forces, they have toured across the country, filling concert halls and festivals, brilliantly showcasing Acadian and French-Canadian culture along the way. Their latest album, Les Années Tranquilles (The Quiet Years) confirms their unique place on the music scene with their powerful blend of voices, harmonies and stories that speak as much to memory as to celebration.
On stage, Les Gars du Nord delivers an electrifying experience where Acadian country meets Celtic sounds. Their music brings generations together and reminds us that no matter where we live, we all have “a little bit of the North” inside us.
12:00 p.m. — Something New (The Beatles)

3:00 p.m. — Le Vent du Nord
Le Vent du Nord (Northern Wind) is on the rise once again with a new concert directed by folk artist Michel Faubert. Still inspired by their international tour 20 Printemps (100,000 tickets sold, Félix 2022, Opus 2023, and Songlines Music Awards 2023 - Americas),the legendary quintet of singers and multi-instrumentalists brings you the music from their 13th album, Voisinages. Five voices in harmony, foot percussion, hurdy-gurdy, bouzouki, Quebec bombarde, fiddle and accordion come together to show just how rich, vibrant and inventive Quebec’s traditional music can be. It’s a show that invites audiences to dance, be moved by words rooted in oral tradition, and recharge through the energy of these tireless travelers whose roots run deep.
This time, Le Vent du Nord explores the theme of neighbours and neighbouring traditions—a universal source of inspiration. The group opens its door to the musical neighbours that have enriched its repertoire: Irish and Scottish Celtic traditions, American folk music, Acadian songs and the music of Francophone communities across the Americas. There are also neighbouring rivers and stories that bear witness to history: battles won and lost, hardships, loss, friendships and, above all, love. An invitation to discover a world rich in humanity!
“Among the artists who bring Quebec to the world, Le Vent du Nord is one of the most important.” — Alexandre Vigneault, La Presse
1:00 p.m. — France d’Amour
featuring Éléonore Lagacé
France D’Amour takes the stage with the same generosity she brings to the red chair on La Voix. Thirty years after Animal, the gold-certified album that defined a generation, she presents Symbiose, her 15th studio album, released in May 2026. But this show is much more than a series of songs: France shares stories from the road with a comedian’s sense of timing, creating an instant connection with the audience. The rock anthems that earned her three SOCAN Classics blend seamlessly with her new material, moving between collective celebration and moments of raw emotion. No gimmicks, no barriers. Just France, her microphone, and a phrase she often repeats: “When I share music, the joy is multiplied.”
For this special occasion, France D’Amour welcomes Éléonore Lagacé. A rising star since her victory on Zénith, Lagacé released her debut album Brûlez-moi vive and starred in the musical Peter Pan. She will join France for a few songs, adding her sparkling voice to a show all about the joy of sharing music.
