Music like Vesuvio Solo

M for Montreal (M pour Montréal) is an annual 4-day music event produced by Avalanche Prod held in various venues in Montréal, Québec. It usually takes place in the third weekend of November.

Founded in 2006 by Sebastien Nasra (Avalanche Productions) and British festival programmer Martin Elbourne (Glastonbury Festival, The Great Escape, and co-founder along with Peter Gabriel of WOMAD Festival), M for Montreal is an independent organization whose mission is to help emerging artists launch their career and/or export their music outside of Québec and Canada. It is divided in two parts: a conference including panels and workshops, and a festival, which showcases close to 100 bands annually. From music buyers to journalists, more than 200 international delegates attend M for Montreal.
