Updated October 8, 2026. This is a look back at the 25th edition, not a ticket guide for a future festival.
The organizer scheduled the main 2026 festival for September 23–27 and described it as the 25th edition. A September 29 post-festival review also records that the edition took place. Those dates have passed; the old programme should not be treated as the next edition’s schedule. Events used different venues, so choosing a night meant checking the individual show listing rather than relying on the artist roster or the general announcement alone.
One example is the organizer’s listing for Luna, Hanako and sundayclub: September 23, 2026, at Théâtre Rialto – Salle Exclaim!, with doors at 7 p.m. and the show at 8 p.m. That records one past event. Doors and showtime are separate, and its schedule does not establish the hours or end time of another performance.
Access arrangements need a venue-specific check. POP’s venue accessibility map provides information for individual spaces. The organizer also says venue operators manage their own spaces and POP does not have final control. If you need particular assistance, confirm arrangements for the chosen show with the organizer or venue before buying.
For a future edition, recheck each listing for its date, room, door time and showtime, then consult the STM metro service and elevator status for the trip home. Do not carry 2026 schedules forward or assume extended service. Our events hub lists other events, and the Canada travel hub can help connect one show with the rest of a visit.
