“Music Is the Strongest Form of Magic.” ― Marilyn Manson
The winter blues are in full swing in February but lucky for you, there are some great concerts to bring your spirits back up despite the mountains of snow everywhere! Across numerous venues across Montreal, some big-name artists are taking the stage, as well as some lesser-known acts that are worthy of your attention.
You might be hesitant to travel downtown and other busier areas of Montréal where these venues are located because of winter. Still, by using public transportation, you can skip the headaches of finding parking or digging out your snowed-in cars. Valentine’s Day is also a massive event in February and bringing your girlfriend or boyfriend to any of these shows is a wonderful way to express your love.
To complete the night, book with Montrealnightlife.com, and they will quickly and easily set up your entire evening, including restaurant and hotel reservations. Here are some of the best concerts to hit Montreal in February in Montreal…
