“Pierre Lapointe will mark the 20th anniversary of his album La forêt des mal-aimés on July 19 at Place George-V, performing with the Orchestre symphonique de Québec,” announced festival organizers.
The Festival d’été de Québec (FEQ) is scheduled to take place from July 9 to July 19, 2026, in Quebec City, Canada. This annual music festival is known for attracting numerous visitors and showcasing a diverse lineup of artists. The festival’s full lineup was unveiled on March 11, 2026, although details remain unconfirmed regarding artists beyond Lapointe.
Lapointe, who last performed at FEQ in 2018, is set to headline the closing night on July 19, 2026. His performance will not only celebrate the two-decade milestone of his acclaimed album but will also feature selections from his recent work, Dix chansons démodées pour ceux qui ont le cœur abîmé.
The planned concert pairs Lapointe with the Orchestre symphonique de Québec, promising a unique musical experience at Place George-V. This collaboration is expected to enhance the emotional depth of Lapointe’s songs, which have resonated with audiences since the album’s initial release in 2007.
As one of Quebec City’s significant cultural events, the FEQ continues to evolve and adapt, drawing both local and international talent. The festival has a rich history of celebrating music across various genres, making it a staple in the summer calendar for many.
With the festival’s opening date approaching, excitement is building among fans and attendees. The combination of Lapointe’s anniversary celebration and the symphonic accompaniment is anticipated to create a memorable closing night for FEQ 2026.
As the festival draws nearer, further announcements regarding the lineup and additional events are expected, keeping the community engaged and eager for the upcoming festivities.
