of Montreal
Led by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kevin Barnes, of Montreal have spent nearly three
decades redefining pop, with their kaleidoscopic blend of glam rock, psychedelia, funk, and
synth-driven indie rock. Emerging from the Elephant 6 Recording Company in the late ’90s, the
band quickly built a cult following for their inventive songwriting and wildly theatrical live
performances.
From the breakthrough brilliance of Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? to a steady run of
boundary-pushing releases, of Montreal have remained fearless sonic shapeshifters—equally at
home crafting hook-laden anthems as they are exploring surreal, experimental textures. The
band's prolific output has led to numerous late-night TV appearances—including The Late Show
with David Letterman and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon—and brilliant collaborations with artists
such as Solange, Janelle Monáe, and Jon Brion.
On stage, they transform concerts into immersive spectacles of color, costume, and cathartic
energy. The band has performed across the globe, gracing festival stages at Coachella,
Primavera, Lollapalooza, Vive Latino among dozens of others and headlining countless
marquee venues, while also amassing hundreds of millions of streams worldwide. With a new
tour on the horizon, of Montreal continue to celebrate their legacy while pushing boldly
forward—delivering a live experience that is as unpredictable and electrifying as ever.
