Staying hydrated is crucial during Osheaga festival.
Osheaga Music Festival 2022: A Recap
The Osheaga Music Festival, held at Jean-Drapeau Park on Friday, welcomed a diverse lineup of artists over the weekend. On Saturday, Tyler, the Creator headlined, while Olivia Rodrigo and Jamie XX closed the festival on Sunday.
Lucy Dacus, the ingenious guitarist known for her rock-infused melodies, brought her repertoire back to the territory of her earlier albums. Her concert performance included most of the songs from her fourth album, "Forever Is a Feeling", which was released in March. The presence of two violinists in her concert evoked the album's careful orchestrations, creating a captivating atmosphere. At the end of her concert, Dacus covered "Dancing in the Dark" by Springsteen, delighting fans with a surprise rendition.
Jorja Smith, with her captivating performance, brought soul, dancehall, and UK garage sounds to the festival. Despite her voice not being ideally suited for large outdoor gatherings, Smith managed to captivate the crowd with her enchanting performance.
The Killers, led by Brandon Flowers, kicked off their performance with old hits, starting with "Mr. Brightside". However, their last album, Pressure Machine, was not played during their performance. Given their usual pattern of performing hits such as "Somebody Told Me," "When You Were Young," and "Human", it is likely that their 2022 Osheaga setlist included similar popular songs.
Doechii, a young rapper, headlined the Forest stage and attracted a large crowd. Her concert was decorated like a bayou to reflect the theme of her album Alligator Bites Never Heal. Unfortunately, security was collecting fans affected by heatstroke during her concert. In response, Finneas, Billie Eilish's brother and collaborator, advised festival-goers to hydrate before 5 pm.
Throughout the festival, artists and organisers emphasised the importance of hydration, with both Lucy Dacus and Doechii urging festival-goers to stay hydrated. The Killers' headlining concert was also interrupted twice due to exhausted festival-goers.
Overall, the Osheaga Music Festival 2022 was a successful event, showcasing a diverse range of artists and providing fans with a memorable musical experience. For those interested in the exact setlists, dedicated setlist archives like setlist.fm or fan recordings and reports from 2022 are recommended.
In the world of music and lifestyle, home care is as important as festival experiences. Staying hydrated is not just a health-and-wellness tip, but a guide for enjoying festivals like Osheaga Music Festival, as witnessed by the frequent reminders from artists and organizers. Amidst the fusion of culture, science, and the rhythm of music, fitness-and-exercise came into play when up-and-coming rapper Doechii's concert was temporarily paused due to heat exhaustion among the crowd.
