Cult MTL

Cult MTL is Montreal's daily online and monthly print culture publication, with current local music journalism and a direct free event-listing form.

Cult MTL is a daily online and monthly print publication focused on Montreal culture. Published by Cult MTL Media Inc. and distributed across Montreal on the first Thursday of each month, it covers music, arts, film, nightlife, food, city news and events through local and visiting-artist interviews, features, analysis, criticism, reviews, photography and daily listings. Its music section was active through July 7, 2026 with festival previews and through July 6 with Montreal Jazz Fest reviews. A June 15 feature on Suoni per il Popolo documented experimental music as communal celebration and survival, local and international artists, queer and Black joy, transnational identity, cross-city collaboration and structural barriers facing touring artists. That work supports a current, locally rooted music and community classification. Cult MTL's official event form accepts live-music and other Montreal-area event listings directly at no stated submission fee. It requests event category, title, description, image, location, dates, times and ticket details. The route is for calendar consideration only; it is not an editorial pitch, artist-release review, or guarantee of coverage or listing.
