GUESS WHAT? Piknic Electronik posted its schedule for this summer!
Finally
For those who don't know (or don't live around Montreal), Piknic Electronik is a weekly event happening on Sundays. It is located in Parc Jean-Drapeau on the Île Notre-Dame which is an artificial island built in 10 months from 15 million tons of rock excavated for the Montreal Metro in 1965. Piknic is easily the most awesome compilation of events you can possibly go to on a Sunday. Why? Because it's possible to just lie down, have a piknic and enjoy the musik but if you have a lot of energy to spend, you can join the crowd and dance around like a crazy person. I might add that there are a lot of crazy people there, but it's all part of the atmosphere. Either way, there is something for everyone (literally) to do and you will often even see parents walking around with little kids, enjoying the nice weather and musik.

Now as you probably guessed it, different artists play every week. If the same person played everytime, things would get boring REALLY quickly. This is why the posting of the 2010 program is so important. We finally get to see who is playing. Well...here it is:

Now I personally want to go see every single one of these artists and desperately desire a season pass (yes, these are available for a measly 65$), but the few artists marked down are those I'm sure to go see.

Now before I leave, let's get you some musik. Here's a little breakbeat to top it all off!!!

Sizzla - Beat Assassins

Gunclip -Beat Assassins

P.S. Here's a link to the Piknic site just in case you want some more information:

  7. Many of these artists are unknown because Piknic likes to promote them. Gives them a chance to be seen. Obviously, they add a couple of big names to keep people coming. And yeah, this summer is gonna be pretty damn expensive but 100% worth it.
