Additional Information
For Igloofest 2026, Mathieu Constance is once again at the helm of programming for the four consecutive weekends taking place at Quai Jacques-Cartier until February 7. As a media partner of Igloofest, PAN M 360 presents the artistic recommendations of its lead architect each week of the event, highlighting a top pick for each program.
PAN M 360: We’re now on weekend 3! It’s January 29th.
Mathieu Constance: Hamza, on January 29th. We managed to pull off this show outside of Piknic a few years ago. Hamza is perhaps one of the biggest French rappers in the world right now. Being able to bring him to Igloo, I think it’s going to be something really special and also something on a scale we don’t necessarily see every year. A must-see, that’s for sure.
PAN M 360: And that caps off a very big weekend. Very good catch!
Mathieu Constance: It’s going to be a hip-hop night! High Klassified, Manaré, Yaya Labae…
PAN M 360: Friday, January 30th now.
Mathieu Constance: The one you absolutely have to see is A-Trak. It’s incredible to have DJ Snake on the lineup, an artist I’ve wanted for ages!
And as a Montrealer, being able to produce A-Trak in this context, knowing who he is and all the accolades he’s received, is truly special. All the impact he’s had, winning the DMC Championship at 15, putting everyone around him on the map, always working hard since his beginnings—more or less thirty years (since his teens) of a career. I’m really looking forward to seeing what he’ll do in this perhaps less conventional, or at least different, context. There will be things expected and others unexpected; I’m sure it’s going to be great! And it will definitely set the tone for the evening, something glorious and special.
PAN M 360: The 31st now.
Mathieu Constance: Lost Frequencies is a must-see. We performed it in Quebec City two years ago, and that show really impressed us. We tried to figure out how we could bring it back to Igloofest, this time in Montreal, and how we would present it on the main stage. Everything fell into place, and it’s going to be one of our more melodic, vocally driven, and sonically progressive nights. A bit of a pop vibe, actually. I’m really looking forward to seeing what Lost Frequencies will do on that stage.
