Montreal’s STEREO will reopen its doors once again this Labor Day

One of the world’s legendary clubland hotspots, Montreal’s STEREO will reopen its doors once again this Labor Day Weekend, from Thursday 3rd September – Monday 7th September, announcing an extravaganza of festivities over a five day affair. Grammy Award winners Sharam from Deep Dish, and Roger Sanchez will join the star studded line-up along with Angel Moraes amongst others.

The Stereo team has worked diligently around the clock for the past eight months, on the new face of Stereo, after a fire in July 2008. Keeping true to the essence of “a club for the people” maintaining its original history and architectural shape, as well as upgrading and adding finesse to its sound-system and interior decor. Upgrades include a new live staged format for live bands of all genres with seating, creating a modern yet intimate feel. Stereo will also be eco friendly being a “full green club” using re-purified water and recycling methods; where party people can make their mark on the dancefloor, not on the environment.

With this in mind, you can expect to see a revitalized nightlife for Montreal, kick starting this Labor Day weekend with the re-birth of Stereo; where once again DJ royalty may play to a crowd with no boundaries; regardless of color, age, or sexuality – it’s the ultimate DJ’s playground. Looking back on this history of Stereo, international DJ and Grammy Award Winner, David Morales who previously owned Stereo for six years, was renowned for his 16 hour sets at Stereo “La Vie en Stereo”.
On Thursday 3rd September, one of the original pioneers of Stereo, Angel Moraes will grace the decks for the opening night, to pay tribute to the legendary nightclub that he built 11 years ago. Moraes plans to play a ‘Stereo anthology’ showcasing all the musical highlights from those memorable Stereo nights, as well as some new gems! There will only be 800 exclusive invites issued for this night so you have been warned!

Friday’s event will be an array of midget cowboys, and ‘get wild dancers’ as part of the exclusive Sharam (Deep Dish) Get wild Live show, featuring renowned singer Anousheh Khalili; with additional support from rising superstars, Sultan and Ned Shepard, showcasing its live staged venue, with special layout and audio set up which configure by a flick of a switch!

Introducing Stereo’s new Saturday concept, Saturdays at Stereo, we will see its traditional ‘staple’ nights return, all with a mysterious edginess every Saturday of the month!
