To the drum industry, manufacturers, distributors, drum shops and our audience:

We regret to inform you that we have to cancel this year’s 22nd edition of the Montreal Drum Fest – October 25 & 26.

Following consultation with the music industry, it soon became obvious that we needed to make a hard decision, in part due to direct sponsor cutbacks worldwide and a decline in ticket sales. Unfortunately, these are circumstances which are beyond our control. Times are tough for everyone.

We are, however, looking to present the festival in October 2015, and we hope you will join us then. We intend to make next year’s festival even more spectacular than ever before.

We want to thank the many sponsors for their amazing support throughout the years. Without their participation, the festival would not exist. And also we want to thank our faithful audience who has thus been, without a doubt, the key to the success of the Montréal Drum Fest.

Sincerely,

Serge Gamache, Executive Producer

Ralph Angelillo, Artistic Director
