Palomosa kicks off Montreal's outdoor festival season this weekend

Montreal's first outdoor music festival of the season arrives this weekend. Produced by the folks at Multicolore (who also put on Igloofest, Piknic Électronik and Village au Pied-du-Courant), this year's third edition of Palomosa comes with a dramatic schedule change from September to May. Palomosa now aims to be this year's first major outdoor music event, right after the city has thawed from the cold, depressing winter weather — and to kick off the vibrant festival season.
