There is something special happening in Montréal’s music scene. Momentum. Vision. Ambition. And now, an even clearer direction.
After an incredible first edition last year, Montreal Music Week is officially gearing up for its second year and this year, we are proud, excited, and deeply grateful to share that Riche Talent will be contributing to the 2026 edition alongside the amazing team that created and leads the project: This Is House.
Montreal Music Week exists because of the vision and leadership of the team at This Is House. They built the foundation, set the tone, and created the spark. Our role this year is simple: to support their vision, bring value where we can, and help amplify what is already in motion.
The Vision: Putting Montréal on the Global Map
Anyone who travels within the electronic music landscape knows the impact of major cultural weeks such as Miami Music Week and ADE (Amsterdam Dance Event). These are not just events; they are landmarks in the global culture.
Montréal has everything required to join that international conversation: culture, creativity, history, talent, and a community ready to grow. That is the mission behind Montreal Music Week, who continue building the momentum needed to elevate our city’s presence on the global stage.
Looking Back at Last Year
In 2025, we had the privilege of hosting an event at the W Montreal as part of the inaugural edition of Montreal Music Week. It was a moment where we felt Montréal’s potential in the room, the artists, the energy, the curiosity. It reaffirmed something many of us already knew: this city is ready. It simply requires aligned people pushing in the same direction.
The Montreal Music Week team delivered something that felt fresh and necessary for the culture. This second edition builds on that foundation.
2026: A Bigger Step Forward
This year, Riche Talent is contributing to the development of the second edition in a structured and meaningful way. Our role includes helping the Montreal Music Week team strengthen overall coordination, connecting them with potential partners and collaborators, supporting conversations with the city and government, assisting with the technical aspects of the website, and providing marketing guidance where needed. Alongside this contribution, we are also preparing our own signature event for the 2026 program.
Details on our event will be shared in due time. What we can say now is that we are building something intended to push Montréal forward in a real and meaningful way.
Gratitude First
To the team at This Is House, thank you for trusting us. To the Montreal Music Week team, thank you for inviting us to contribute.
We do not take this lightly. Our goal is to support the ecosystem and elevate the culture we all care about. Because at the end of the day, when the scene grows, everyone wins. Montreal wins. The artists win. The entire community wins.
If we can help build something lasting, a moment, a platform, a tradition, then we have done our part.
Montréal, It’s Your Time
The second edition of Montreal Music Week is coming, stronger, more ambitious, and filled with a collective vision for what this city can become. We cannot wait to share what comes next.
