Main Stage
There are many ways to describe Gab Paquet - "perfection made man" is just one example - but what you need to know is that this being of sensual excess and spiritual exaltation is first and foremost a bewitching herald with a divine gift for music, and that it's in French songs that he finds a vehicle for his essential messages - a sultry kitsch that's no guilty pleasure.
What we also need to know is that the aforementioned aesthetic and musical codes he employs are enticing lures to draw the public into the dedicated aspect of his artistic approach. His pieces magnanimously offer several levels of understanding, with something for everyone - a laugh, a reflection, an in-depth study, an enlightenment - in ecstatic communion.
Main Stage
Born in the Congo and based in Montreal, musician, songwriter and DJ Pierre Kwenders is a storyteller at heart. Motivated by the subtleties of love, his songs weave tales from memories of the past, sketches of his hometown and reflections on the future.
An architect of modern African music, Kwenders creates a unique blend of Afro-influenced electronic sounds inspired by Congolese rumba.
Singing and rapping in Lingala, French, English, Tshiluba and Kikongo, the artist similarly weaves his stories across the boundaries of language and geography.
Touchette Trailer Stage

Main Stage
Winner of the Cabane Panache Prize at the Cabaret Festif in 2023, Cayenne performs her energetic, unconventional, introspective and sensitive tales with accuracy and passion.
On the menu: feminism, millennial concerns, the search for identity through love of the land, all topped with influences that waltz with musical polyamory.
It's an encounter with a friendly cookie with a heart as big as the vast North Shore.
Forest Stage
Forest area - Presbytery grounds of Église Notre-Dame-des-Sept-Douleurs
Come and discover the rich universe of Monsieur André, fiddler Éloi Amesse and double bassist François Lefebvre.

Don't miss them Saturday afternoon in the Forest Area!

La Patente is a diesel-drinking, smoke-spitting beast of a band. The band's explosive energy ignites even the coldest stages. The raw, razor-sharp music has already managed to win over a large, dedicated fan base.
Formed in 2020, the band continues its rise on the French-speaking scene with intense tours across Canada, Europe and the USA. Hailing directly from the darkness of New Brunswick, La Patente presents a cocktail of punk-rock and country-folk, with a contemporary splash of its own. The band comes to life in concert and leaves no one indifferent - but beware of sensitive ears!
Main Stage
Surrounded by top musicians, Pépé invites his friends on stage to share the secret of happiness with you...
Each show is a unique event, with surprise guests making an appearance for a few songs.
On the strength of his radio hit "Plus souvent qu'tu penses", Pépé will draw you into his world and take you through the whole range of emotions in an evening that promises to be festive!

Yes, there will be several “bécosses” (outhouses) located behind the info booth, including one for people with reduced mobility. You can always use the toilets at nearby businesses in exchange for a small drink! 😉
Are dogs allowed on site?
As long as he’s on a leash, Doggy is welcome to join in the fun! Please note that a lot of people are expected, so if your pet isn’t comfortable in crowds, it might be best to leave him at home!
Also note that with spring weather and the expected number of boots, Cabane Panache camp can get muddy fast, and it can get messy for your four-legged friends!
What’s the best way to dress for Cabane Panache?
Cabane Panache is a 100% outdoor event and takes place at the beginning of spring in Quebec, so while the weather can be great, it’s always a little chilly! Dress in layers, and hats and mittens are a must. There will be fireplaces and campfires at various points on the site to keep you warm, but double up on your socks and put on your warm woollies!
As for style, this is the time to get out your lumberjack clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty, and warm, waterproof “chouclaques”. White shoes aren’t recommended, but your best plaid shirts sure are! 😉
Are shows postponed in case of rain, snow or bad weather?
As far as possible, all shows and events are maintained, depending on the intensity of the weather and the type of show. The show must go on! However, if a show has to be postponed or rescheduled, you’ll be notified via our social networks and Facebook event.
What should I bring to Cabane Panache?
Here’s a non-exhaustive list of the essentials for a great time at Cabane Panache!
- A bottle of water: Cabane Panache is an eco-friendly event! No bottled water will be sold on site. A water station will be available to refill your bottle, so remember to bring your water bottle!
- Cash : Some booths do not accept cards as a method of payment. We recommend that you withdraw cash in advance, to avoid waiting in line at the bank! And don’t forget a little $2 for the ecocup deposit! If you need it, there’s a Banque Nationale, an RBC and a Caisse Desjardins close to the site.
- Warm clothes: a pair of extra socks won’t take up much space, and will save you a couple of toes if Mother Nature ever decides to bring up cold weather, especially in the evening!
- A reusable bag: You never know what treasures you might bring back with you on a trip to Cabane Panache! Don’t forget your reusable bag to bring back your findings or souvenirs.
- Reusable containers and utensils: If you want to be at the top of your game, you’ll want to bring along some small containers to hold leftovers in case you’ve bitten off more than you can chew to avoid food waste. If you have picnic utensils, for example, remember to slip them into your bag!
