The Andy Kim Christmas Concert is a genuine Montreal tradition
Andy Kim Christmas
Every December, something extraordinary happens. The lights shine a little brighter. The songs sound a little warmer. And somewhere between the first snowfall and the last encore, Andy Kim steps on stage and reminds us that kindness still sells out.
Now in its 12th year in Montreal, Andy Kim’s Christmas Concert returns on December 6 with an impressive lineup of artists. Presented by the National Music Centre and Le 9e, don’t miss this unforgettable evening that brings together friends and fans to celebrate the generosity of the music community. A tradition so deeply Canadian it might as well come with a double-double and an emotional standing ovation. For more than two decades, Andy has turned his holiday concert into a season of giving, raising over 2.25 million dollars for charities across Canada.
An impressive lineup featuring English and French-speaking artists, includes Andy Kim, Roch Voisine, The Box, Rêve, Gabriel Fredette, Alexe, Vince Lemire, Léa Jarry, and Sarah Vanderzon.
Funds raised will support the Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation’s music therapy program, as well as programs at the National Music Centre in Montreal, in collaboration with ADISQ.
There is something about Andy that feels timeless. He is the rare artist who sings songs that bring people together. He has sold over 30 million records, written some of the world’s most joyful hits like “Rock Me Gently” and “Sugar, Sugar,” and still walks into every room like a kid from Montreal chasing a dream. He is an Officer of the Order of Canada, a Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee, and one of the kindest human beings you could ever meet.
Every year, the Andy Kim Christmas lineup reads like a mixtape of Canada’s greatest hits. Past guests have included Colin James, Cowboy Junkies, Dan Hill, Feist, Georgia Harmer, High Flyer, Jacksoul, Jake Clemons, Jully Black, Kim Mitchell, Lights, Maestro, Men Without Hats, Metric, Michel Pagliaro, Molly Johnson, Nelly Furtado, Russell Peters, Sam Roberts, Sarah McLachlan, Scott Helman, Serena Ryder, Sloan, The Sadies, The Sheepdogs, Alex Lifeson, Arkells, Barenaked Ladies, Billy Talent, Bobby Bazini, Broken Social Scene, BUCK65, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Choir! Choir! Choir!, City and Colour, The Strumbellas, The Trews, Tom Cochrane, Tom Wilson, Tyler Shaw, William Prince among many others. You never know who will show up, but you always know why. Because Andy calls, and people say yes. That is the power of someone whose career runs on gratitude.
Expect an unforgettable night of music, generosity, and the kind of laughter that fills the room before the first chord is even struck.
Anyone who has met Andy knows his Christmas spirit lives year-round. He remembers your name, your story, and probably your favourite record. When he says “it’s up to anyone who really believes in a dream to fight for it,” he speaks from a life built on hope and perseverance.
From his teenage days walking into New York’s Brill Building with nothing but belief, to topping the Billboard charts twice, to raising millions for charity, Andy Kim has always believed in music’s power to heal. His shows are celebrations of faith in each other, in community, and in the magic of a song shared together.
The Andy Kim Christmas is a reminder that the heart of a dreamer can change the world, one song at a time. And if you listen closely this December, you might hear the whole country singing along.
