Plains of Abraham Stage

The View from the Stage

Yes, I was lucky enough to walk on this impressive scene! I stood at the same place as Sting and Peter Gabriel, The Lumineers, Ice Cube, Coeur de Pirate and Selena Gomez were.

The Magic Touch!

I realized that in addition to the huge crowd in front of them, the artists also have a nice view of the édifice Price and the roof of the Château Frontenac during the show... The icing on the cake, right?

A tent with food and a chef is always available for our favourite musicians.
Terrace

The artists and their teams use this terrace with hammocks and outdoor couches to wait until the show.
That's about it for the highlights of my visit.
