As the pandemic obliges, the Montreal Pride Festival must make the best of a tough situation. So, for this year, the event presents all its programming online, via various platforms. For the musical component this weekend, Fierté Mtl has invited, among others, Montreal DJ Odile Myrtil, who takes over the turntables today – Saturday – from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the festival’s Twitch account. Singer-songwriter and performer, she’s also resident DJ at the Moonshine nights and has played at Igloofest, Piknic Électronik and Osheaga, among others. On Sunday at 7 p.m., Fierté Mtl hosts Adam Lambert, who filled Freddie Mercury’s shoes in Queen. The rapper Backxwash, whose name is circulating more and more in Montreal and elsewhere, and who’s likely to win the 2020 Polaris Prize (at least, that’s what we think at PAN M 360), opens for Lambert. You can attend this show for free on the event’s Facebook page. Party proudly!
