Halloween costumes are going back in the closet, and the concert calendar is picking up the slack. The first half of November is loud, loose and very Montreal, with indie rock at MTELUS, a stoner-metal heavyweight at Club Soda and a big electronic night out in Laval. It leans guitar-heavy and late, so grab your earplugs. Always confirm doors and tickets with each venue before you head out.

🎸 The Darcys with Oliver Forest

📍 Where: Petit Campus, Quartier Latin, Montreal
🗓️ When: Thursday, November 5, 2026

A scrappy, atmospheric indie rock night to open the month in a small room. Petit Campus keeps things close to the stage, which suits a bill like this.

✨ Palace with Willie J Healey

📍 Where: MTELUS, Quartier des spectacles, Montreal
🗓️ When: Saturday, November 7, 2026

Dreamy, melodic indie rock in one of the city’s best mid-size halls. A good pick if you want a big sound without an arena crowd.

🥁 Protomartyr with J.R.C.G.

📍 Where: Foufounes Électriques, Quartier des spectacles, Montreal
🗓️ When: Sunday, November 8, 2026

Post-punk with a dry, spoken-word edge, played in a classic Montreal dive. Sunday shows tend to start on time, so you can still be home at a decent hour.

🔥 Ho99o9 with N8NOFACE and Slay Squad

📍 Where: Foufounes Électriques, Quartier des spectacles, Montreal
🗓️ When: Monday, November 9, 2026

Chaotic, genre-smashing punk and hip-hop that is built for a sweaty crowd. A Monday night with real energy.

😴 Sleep with Zombi and The Schizophonics

📍 Where: Club Soda, Saint-Laurent Boulevard, Montreal
🗓️ When: Tuesday, November 10, 2026

Heavy, slow-burning riffs from a stoner-metal favourite, with a strong support lineup. Expect volume you can feel in your chest.

🎧 DJ Snake with Dillon Francis

📍 Where: Place Bell, Laval (about 30 minutes from downtown via the Orange line to Montmorency)
🗓️ When: Friday, November 13, 2026, 7:30 PM

The biggest dance party of the stretch, and a short trip off the island. Two heavy hitters on one bill makes this the pick for a group night out.

🎤 mary in the junkyard with Lefty Parker

📍 Where: Petit Campus, Quartier Latin, Montreal
🗓️ When: Saturday, November 14, 2026

A small-room indie night for people who like to discover a band before everyone else does.

💀 Slaughter to Prevail with REV3RENT

📍 Where: MTELUS, Quartier des spectacles, Montreal
🗓️ When: Sunday, November 15, 2026

Brutal, big-voiced metal to close out the guide. Not for the faint of ears, but the MTELUS sound system is up to the job.

Heading out of town for a show? Laval is the easy escape this fortnight, and the Orange line gets you most of the way there. Dates come from Montreal concert listings published October 30, 2026, so double-check with the venue.
