Petite-Nation Rockfest

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

On the course of the weekend of June 18th and 19th, 2010, The small city of Montebello in the province of Quebec Canada, saw over 17 000 pairs of feet trample their grounds.  The year 2010 being its fifth edition, this Heavy Rock and Alternative festival was a huge success for the founder of Rockfest and President of Outaouais Rock, Alex Martel, who is also the lead singer of the Deadly Apples.

Over fifty bands performed during those two days including well renowned acts such as Alexisonfire, Misfits, Anti-Flag, Die Mannequin, Voivod, Grimskunk, Silverstein and Quebec’s own French bands Vulgaires Machins and Malajube amongst many others.  The Rocker 2010 Contest also had over 200 bands competing for a spot to perform during the Rockfest and thus gain more public interest.

The event was hosted by ex Musique Plus (Montreal’s music video station) VJ, Mathieu Marcotte, the very unique Jean-François Labonté and also included numbers from stand up comic Maxim Martin.

CONFRONT Magazine was there and interviewed tons of bands for you and also took hundreds of pictures of the interviews and live performances!  So during the month of August, stay constantly tuned because every couple of days a new interview will be posted with new pictures as well!

Alex has tons in store already for next year’s sixth edition so make sure to visit the Rockfest site often and also subscribe to their Facebook and Twitter pages!
