Tortoise live in Montreal

Experience Tortoise live on July 2nd

Tortoise will be performing at Théâtre Maisonneuve, part of Théâtre Jean-Duceppe, in Montreal, Canada on July 2nd, 2026. Tortoise is an American instrumental rock band originating from Chicago, Illinois in 1990. Their music is often categorized as post-rock, though it incorporates elements of jazz, dub, electronica, and minimalism. Characterized by intricate compositions, repetitive structures, and a focus on texture and atmosphere rather than traditional song forms, Tortoise has been highly influential in the development of post-rock as a genre.

Théâtre Jean-Duceppe is a major francophone theatre company in Montreal, founded in 1940 by Jean Duceppe. It operates out of several venues including Théâtre Maisonneuve, a proscenium theatre seating approximately 850 people located within Place des Arts. Théâtre Maisonneuve frequently hosts both theatrical productions and musical performances. The Studio Théâtre is a smaller space also operated by Théâtre Jean-Duceppe; while the concert is specifically listed at Théâtre Maisonneuve, the complex shares resources and administrative functions.
