It was a perfect weekend for some music as thousands of Montrealers and tourists descended upon Parc Jean Drapeau for the annual Osheaga festival.
The three-day festival, featuring headliners Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lana Del Rey and Radiohead, is in its eleventh year and its popularity among music fans shows no signs of waning.

While many felt the need to be close to the action, others decided comfort and beating the heat was more of a priority.
