This show will be a repeat of the Étoiles du métro performance planned as part of the Fête nationale celebrations, which had to be cancelled due to rain.
The concert will bring together more than thirty of the Montréal métro’s finest musicians, including Street Meat, Flashback, Sherlock, and Boléro. The Étoiles will also welcome some special guest artists, including Benoît Piché and Benoît Gagné (from Les Colocs) and Jamil, who will host the show. Writer Dany Laferrière will begin the evening with a reading from one of his works.

Benefit concert supported by the STM and the Petit Medley
The Étoiles du métro program was launched by the STM in 2012 to enhance the image of métro musicians and provide them with greater visibility and promotional support. This initiative, part of the drive to improve customer experience, aims to enrich the musical repertoire performed in métro stations and promote the careers of talented musicians. Sixty talented groups and individual musicians participate in the 2013 edition of the program.
