Rockfest 2015
Montebello, Quebec
June 19, 2015
Rockfest once again took over the sleepy town of Montebello, Quebec for three days and nights of metal, punk, hardcore, ska, and … Snoop Dogg. Tens of thousands of fans descended into the scenic Quebec town to catch over 100 bands, including Linkin Park, System of a Down, Rancid, Pixies, Refused, and the previously-mentioned Snoop Dogg, among dozens of others.
Thankfully, there were no signs of any of the logistical snafus that plagued earlier editions of the fest; traffic was manageable, lines for food and port-o-potties seemed to move quickly, and bands kept to their scheduled times.
Below you can check out our photographer Johan Boutin’s photos of the Friday sets from the festival, including Linkin Park, The Offspring, Deftones, Sick of it All, and many more. Photos from Saturday are here. Be sure to follow us on instagram for even more photos from the weekend..
