The Festival de musique \u00e9mergente en Abitibi-T\u00e9miscamingue<\/strong> and SiriusXM<\/strong>, official presenter, invite you to the 23rd edition<\/strong> of this one-of-a-kind event showcasing the best of new music in the heart of Rouyn-Noranda<\/strong>. From August 28 to 31<\/strong>, FME offers a carefully curated program featuring artists with innovative approaches and distinctive sounds, blending major local headliners with emerging talents, and enriched by a unique international lineup full of exclusives. On the schedule: over 80 performances<\/strong> in concert venues and unexpected spots throughout the city, promising plenty of discoveries for festivalgoers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern French-language pop, hyperpop tinged with neo-R&B, and psychedelic-flavored punk will take over the FME\u2019s outdoor stages…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Young artist Billie du Page<\/strong> kicks off the festivities on the traditional outdoor 7th Street stage<\/strong>, launching the SiriusXM Events<\/strong>. She\u2019ll be followed by B\u00e9Li<\/strong>, Marie-Pierre Arthur<\/strong>, and Jay Sc\u00f8tt<\/strong>.

Saturday at 8 PM, it\u2019s the turn of Empanadas Ilegales<\/strong>, The OBGMs<\/strong>, and to cap it all off, legendary Qu\u00e9bec band Les Trois Accords<\/strong>.
