of Montreal live in Athens

Experience of Montreal live on June 19th

of Montreal is scheduled to perform at 40 Watt in Athens, Georgia on June 19, 2026. The band, fronted by Kevin Barnes, is known for its eclectic and evolving musical style. Initially emerging from the indie pop scene in the late 1990s, of Montreal’s sound has incorporated elements of psychedelic pop, glam rock, electronica, and new wave over the course of numerous albums. Lyrically, their work often explores themes of love, loss, and existentialism with a blend of whimsicality and introspection.

40 Watt Club holds a significant place in the history of alternative music. Established in 1979 by Joel Southern and Robert Fussell, it quickly became a crucial venue for new wave and punk rock acts during a period when Athens was experiencing a creative boom. R.E.M. famously served as house band early in their career at the club, and it hosted performances by artists like Pylon, The B-52's and many others who would go on to national prominence.
