You might wonder why I would preface a post about Pop Montreal announcements with a photo of a white dog sporting a red collar. The answer is because that dog has a 12 million dollar trust fund that’s why. Hotel heiress Leona Helmsley left the fund to her beloved dog after she passed away a few weeks ago.

Anyways, some of the headliners include Fever Ray, Jay Reatard and of course Yo La Tengo. It’s just a taste of what’s to come this October.

Also Sufjan Stevens is having a rare performance in Montreal during the festival but not associated with it. His entire tour is already sold out, but I thought I’d mention that anyways.
