This summer’s Amnesia Rockfest is less than a month away, set to once again envelop the sleepy Quebec town of Montebello with tens of thousands of rowdy punk and metal fans. This year’s edition runs from June 18-21, with headliners including Linkin Park, System of a Down, Snoop Dogg, Rancid, The Deftones, and many, many more.

Our friends Jonah Aspler and Michael Leccese of Road Ragers recently took a trip out to Montebello to chat with Rockfest founder Alex Martel about what to look forward to from this year’s edition, and the weirdest thing he’s ever seen at the fest. Check out the video interview below. For the full festival schedule and to buy tickets, visit amnesiarockfest.com.
