FME 2024, Rouyn’s Legendary Emerging Music Fest, Returns on August 29th
Rouyn’s legendary music fest FME is scheduled to return from August 29th to September 1st in association with SiriusXM.
Festival de Musique émergente en Abitibi-Témiscamingue (FME) and SiriusXM, its official presenter, invite you to the 22nd edition of the unique event showcasing the best in new music, big names from Canada, and inspired international programming, including many exclusivities for this 2024 season. From August 29th to September 1st, FME strikes again with an eclectic selection of artists offering alternative, novel and singular music while also presenting many up-and-coming outfits of all genres. In all, close to 100 performances are taking place in the premium concert venues and other unique locations of Rouyn-Noranda.
Jean-Phillipe Lavoie, manager of strategic development for Canadian content, said:
“It is with great pride that SiriusXM will again be Festival de musique émergente en Abitibi-Témiscamingue’s official presenter in 2024. Year after year, this festival offers programming flush with young emerging musicians, thus resonating with our mandate to showcase new Canadian talent. At SiriusXM, we aim to provide these artists with great visibility, whether via our North American online platform or by supporting events celebrating our culture. In light of this, we are delighted to renew our long-established partnership with FME.”

Every night after the Événements SiriusXM concert series, the curators offer one last hurrah under the moonlight. Thus, from Thursday to Saturday, Scène Fizz – also located on 7e Rue – will host Élégie (Francophone alternative rock), Érika Zaria (rap/R&B), and Turbine (turntablism or the art of manipulating turntables).
General Director of Fizz Martin Gendron remarks:
“Fizz is delighted to be sponsoring Festival de musique émergente en Abitibi-Témiscamingue for the first time, an event that gathers communities from the region as well as from the rest of Québec around their mutual love for music. Having been a part of Quebecers’ everyday life for five years now, it only felt natural for Fizz to support a far-reaching event such as FME, granting us a unique opportunity to invest in the area, while also contributing to its cultural development.”
Festival passes are now on sale at www.fmeat.org.
