Immersion Rock is a unique music camp that allows young people ages 7 to 17 to immerse themselves in the world of bands during two intensive weeks, creating an exceptional opportunity to combine passion with a strong sense of belonging in an artistic setting.
Come cheer them on during their performance, which also marks the grand finale of these summer camps’ season!
In January 2023, four music enthusiasts who spent their teenage years listening to bands like NOFX, Propagandhi, Vulgaire Machins, and Bad Religion decided to form a band with one goal in mind: to play fast, loud, and, above all, to make a splash on the Montreal underground scene.
Hailing from Terrebonne, the band rose to prominence rapidly and released their very first EP, ''Le recueil des clowns'', in July 2023, for which they received their first nomination at the 2024 GAMIQ Awards in the Punk Album of the Year category. They’ve taken the stage at various festivals, including Phoque Off, Festirock, and Pouzza Fest. Now consisting of Anton Samoylenko on drums, Thomas Bujold on electric bass, Charles-Antoine Leroux on guitar, and Justin Thibault on vocals and guitar, the French-speaking band is a prominent presence on the local scene.
New Lease is a punk-rock band from Granby that has been active since 1998. Inspired by the California scene of the 1990s and with a touch of hardcore, they deliver an energetic, melodic, and timeless sound.
Very active in the 2000s, New Lease set the province’s stages ablaze alongside renowned bands such as Straight Faced, Sick of It All, Vulgaires Machins, Grim Skunk, and Reset.
Today, despite more than 25 years on the road and band members now in their forties, the band’s passion and power remain intact. On stage, they continue to draw crowds with their raw energy, catchy melodies, and genuine connection with the audience.

The party doesn't stop there!

A self-proclaimed post-apocalyptic grunge band, Mange La Machine is a new quartet from Saint-Jean-Sur-Richelieu featuring members of Capitaine Révolte, Slater et Fils, Les Sania, and Les Hommes Cellophanes.

The craft brewery in Verdun will host artist Roxanne Izzo starting at 10 p.m. for an after-hours show, with the added bonus of discounts on select draft beers so you can raise a glass to the music.
ABOUT ROXANNE IZZO :
Roxanne Izzo’s world lies somewhere between bold expression and overwhelming vulnerability, and between unblemished innocence and the feeling of having lived several lives at once. It is a paradox filled with anguish and tenderness that blossoms from the icy asphalt of Montreal’s streets and shines through in the inspired lyrics Roxanne Izzo writes. In a daring blend of sensitive pop music and unrelenting cynicism, Roxanne channels raw energy to express the very particular feeling of someone who feels themselves falling into a void with nothing to hold onto, and performs for those who may never feel understood—but who will continue to sing loud and clear nonetheless.
