Fête Nationale du Québec à Gatineau

The Société nationale des Québécois de l’Outaouais (SNQO) is pleased to finally announce today the lineup for Quebec’s National Holiday celebration in Gatineau. The free event will once again take place in the pedestrian zone of Laval Street in Old Hull, Gatineau, on June 23, starting at 6 p.m.

We are thrilled to welcome a young artist who has already made his mark on the Quebec music scene: Les Louanges is the project of Vincent Roberge, a singer-songwriter and producer with raw talent and proven musical boldness. Inspired by D’Angelo, Gorillaz, and Leonard Cohen, he has developed a distinctive signature sound over the years—characterized by a modern blend of funk and soul enriched with a refined pop coating—positioning him as one of the key figures in the revival of Quebec music. After two albums—La nuit est une panthère (2018) and Crash (2022)—an EP, a handful of singles, and multiple tours in Quebec and Europe, Les Louanges is taking a well-deserved break. In April 2026, she released Alouette!, her highly anticipated third album, which she will have the chance to perform for the Gatineau audience for the first time.

Klô Pelgag is a well-established artist in Quebec and Canada, with 20 Félix Awards from the ADISQ Galas, a JUNO Award, a shortlist nomination and a longlist nomination for the Polaris Music Prize, sold-out concerts at MTelus, and collaborations and guest appearances at concerts by CRi, Patrick Watson, and Pomme. Her latest album, Abracadabra, leaves no one indifferent: “In this quest for the absolute and for meaning, in this constant pursuit of fun, lies the desire to create something I don’t know but that nevertheless resembles me. Music that pierces me as fiercely as my emotions, a feeling of standing on the edge of a cliff and an infinite fall that creates the urgency to write. And in every way, and probably forever, I’ll try to catch this intangible, unnameable thing—something to be felt in the moment, which sometimes gives me the absurd urge to say: that’s it, abracadabra.” – Klô Pelgag

Kicking things off is none other than Kinji00, the new Quebec sensation and 18-year-old rapper from Gatineau, who is none other than the CEO of the Quebec independence movement (as confirmed by *Tout le monde en parle*). Joining him is his brother, lb66, the producer behind their most recent mixtapes, *À la prochaine fois* and *Shadow Wizard Québec Gang*. A native of Portugal, Kinji00 first made a name for himself on social media by racking up nearly 15 million views on TikTok, proclaiming loud and clear that “his favorite flower is the fleur-de-lis.”

The invitation has now been officially issued by the organizing committee, in collaboration with the City of Gatineau and the Société Nationale des Québécois et Québécoises en Outaouais. The National Holiday can also count on the support of key partners. Thank you to the Government of Quebec for its support and trust, which enable us to organize community-building events across Quebec. Thank you also to our partner Hydro-Québec, without whom there would be no electricity in the air. We also raise a glass to our partner, the SAQ, which makes our gatherings even more festive and memorable! And we salute Télé-Québec, which ensures that the festivities of Quebec’s National Holiday reach your screens!
