La Compagnie du Nord will have a strong presence at Rideau 2026 with two back-to-back showcases at the OFFicial 5@7, on Wednesday, February 18 at the Salle D'Youville, Palais Montcalm.

Opening the evening, Prairie Comeau takes the stage at 5:15 PM for a 20-minute performance (Place du Marché). The duo will present excerpts from their show L'Emprunt.e, along with their brand new single Tout le long de mon pays, released on February 13. Prairie Comeau offers an intimate artistic experience deeply rooted in the Canadian folk landscape.

Then at 5:40 PM, Le Vent du Nord returns for a 20-minute performance. The band will preview their new show Voisinages, with the Montreal premiere scheduled at Théâtre l'Outremont on April 17, 2026, in the heart of their 25th anniversary tour. Le Vent du Nord is a must-see for any presenter looking for a headliner in Quebec folk music.

Two unmissable showcases to discover or reconnect with these artists represented by La Compagnie du Nord.
