Presented in the middle of February, Le Phoque OFF warms up the Capitale-Nationale with its crazy festival of alternative music. After 8 editions, including one in the metaverse, the festival is positioned as a real hub for the independent scene in Quebec.
Dedicated to supporting emerging artists, Le Phoque OFF gives way to the best of Quebec musical talent by offering avant-garde showcases and spectacular shows.
Observing a real need to connect music industry professionals and promote artists nationally and internationally, the festival also has a PRO section consisting of discussion panels, workshops, conferences and training, networking opportunities and welcoming international professionals. Since 2021, this PRO component has been extended to the year with Le Phoque OFF PRO, a support platform dedicated entirely to artists and craftsmen on the cultural scene.
Le Phoque OFF and Le Phoque OFF PRO are initiatives of Centrale Alternative.
