POP Montreal is an annual music festival occurring in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in the early fall, usually at the end of September or the beginning of October. More than 400 bands are scheduled to play in more than 50 venues across the city, mostly located in the Mile End area. Along with music, POP Montreal has music-related film (Film Pop), art events (Art Pop) as well as a conference (POP Symposium) and a cultural fair called Puces Pop.[1][2] The initial festival in 2002 saw 80 musical acts performing in 40 venues around Saint Laurent Boulevard.[3]

The name of the festival was inspired by the Halifax Pop Explosion.

Since its creation by Daniel Seligman, Noelle Sorbara, and Peter Rowan in 2002,[4][5] Pop Montreal has presented concerts of important rock, indie-rock, alternative, hip hop and folk artists from North America and Europe as Beck, Billy Childish, Interpol, TTC or Franz Ferdinand along with local favorites The Dears, Les Breastfeeders, We Are Wolves, Arcade Fire and The Unicorns.

Co-founder Daniel Seligman, whose brother Chris Seligman is the keyboardist of the band Stars, serves as the festival's creative director.[6][7][8]
