2016 was a very busy year for live shows in Montreal, with seemingly every great band hitting the city at least once throughout the year. Our Photo Editor Jason Hughes shot many of those, and has selected his favourite shots from the year below, from acts in small clubs up to arenas and festivals. You can also check out Bad Feeling Photographer Vitor Munhoz’s favourite shots here.
