Lights in Montréal: A Night of Energy, Emotion, and Pure Canadian Talent

Montréal was treated to an unforgettable night as Lights brought her signature positivity and electrifying performance to the stage, joined by rising Canadian act Soft Cult.

Softcult

Opening the night, Soft Cult delivered a gritty and emotionally charged set that immediately captured the crowd’s attention. Known as a spin-off project of Courage My Love, the duo leaned fully into their grunge-inspired sound, pairing raw instrumentals with a striking stage presence.

Their performance wasn’t just about the music—it carried a message. Before launching into their fourth song, they made a bold political statement, showing their willingness to speak out on issues beyond the stage. The band’s energy never dipped, amplified by moody, low, and colorful lighting that perfectly matched their aesthetic.

With the release of their debut album When a Flower Doesn’t Grow in January 2026, Soft Cult proved they are more than just an opening act—they’re a band to keep a close eye on.

From the moment Lights stepped on stage, the atmosphere completely shifted. Wearing a Quebec Victoriaville jersey, she immediately connected with the Montréal crowd, radiating positivity and excitement.

A multi-time Juno Award winner, Lights lived up to her reputation with a high-energy performance packed with upbeat, high-toned hits. Much of the setlist focused on tracks from her latest project, A6 and its extended version, giving fans a fresh yet familiar experience.

Her stage production elevated the entire show. With lights surrounding the stage and three massive circular fixtures dominating the setup, the visuals were just as captivating as the music. At one point, she stepped into the crowd to sing alongside fans—an intimate moment that perfectly captured her connection with the audience.

Lights also took time to show love to the city, calling Montréal “fucking dope” before switching into French, which sent the crowd into a frenzy. It’s this genuine appreciation and ability to connect that makes her performances so memorable.

Closing

By the end of the night, it was clear—Lights isn’t just a performer, she’s a vibe. Her ability to make everyone feel welcome, energized, and comfortable cements her status as a true Canadian treasure.
