As the summer of 2024 approaches, music enthusiasts and Hot Air Balloon aficionados alike are buzzing with excitement for the return of two of Quebec’s most beloved festivals. This year, the skies will not only be painted with the vibrant colors of hot air balloons but also resonated with the captivating tunes of Charlotte Cardin and Simple Plan.
Charlotte Cardin: The Phoenix Rises at FMG
The Festival de montgolfières de Gatineau (FMG) is set to feature the ethereal voice of Charlotte Cardin, a songstress who has soared to the top of the Canadian music charts like a phoenix. Her album Phoenix has been a commercial and critical success, and her latest accolades at the JUNO Awards have only solidified her status as Canada’s pop prodigy. From August 29th to September 2nd, festival-goers can expect to be mesmerized by her soulful performances amidst the gentle giants of the sky.
Simple Plan: Punk Rock Meets the Gentle Giants
Not to be outdone, the International de montgolfières de Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu promises an equally thrilling experience. Simple Plan, the band that has become synonymous with the punk rock soundtrack of a generation, will be joining forces with Charlotte Cardin. Together, they will create a symphony of sounds that will echo through the festival grounds from August 9th to 11th and August 15th to 18th. Fans can anticipate a nostalgic journey through hits that have defined the early 2000s, all while being surrounded by the serene backdrop of hot air balloons taking flight.

As the balloons ascend into the sky, so too will the spirits of all those in attendance. The fusion of live music with the timeless beauty of hot air balloons creates an atmosphere that is both electrifying and tranquil.
