In Photos: Osheaga Festival 2014

Directly From Montreal And In His Living Room.

Osheaga Music Festival in Montreal was something more this year. With a banquet-baba worthy headliners - The Replacements, Lorde, Jack White and OutKast - there was a variety of attendees flooding Parc Jean Drapeau every day. Highlights included Skrillex Friday, Childish Gambino, and ATLiens aformentioned. Saturday boasted stellar performances by Modest Mouse, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, and Mr. third man himself. While Sunday saw young monsters Lorde and Arctic Monkeys closing the festival below.

A good time was probably for many heads came when the star of New Zealand paid tribute to neighboring Replacements his redux of "Party Swingin '". Moody interpretation was but one highlight of an iconic and stylish set that was actually quite humiliating. Towards the end, Lorde reflected on how far he has come since last year and sincerely thank everyone for being part of "the time of your life." I can confidently say that the feeling was mutual. I could not do? Relive the following weekend.
