A cross-generational phenomenon
From Punk to Prog, Rock’s inspirations are as diverse as its audiences, and every show delivers a powerful, memorable experience. Rock may conjure images of tens of thousands filling an arena, stadium or festival field, but the intimacy of a smaller venue makes for a special connection between artist and audience. That’s why many of the big names choose Place des Arts when they come through Montréal, and their concerts in our halls never go unnoticed.

Violent Femmes
July 4, 20251 performanceSalle Wilfrid-PelletierViolent Femmes formed in 1981 as an acoustic punk band playing on the streets of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Their main influences at that time were Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps and The Velvet Underground. Their goal was to rock harder than any other acoustic act on the planet. After being rejected for an audition by a local nightclub, the Femmes set up outside a Pretenders gig and began to play.
Concerts that have the crowd buzzing
The infectious intensity and passion of this musical form prompts the inevitable question: "When's the next one?" In 2006, Radiohead set Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier ablaze with two intimate gigs that gave fans a preview of several songs from their soon-to-be-released album In Rainbows.
