The ’80s star on the wall of many a young teenager, Samantha Fox, will headline the Festival Innu Nikamu (the Innu community of Mani-Utenam in northern Quebec) on August 2.
Fox won’t be the only ’80s star, as Bryan Adams will close the festival, which ends on August 4. Coordinator Normand Junior Tshirnish is keen to mark Innu Nikamu’s 40th anniversary in style.

Tshirnish stressed that “this festival is very symbolic for the Innu of the North Shore, Labrador and many Aboriginal people in Quebec.
The Innu festival runs from July 30 to August 4, with the rest of the program to be announced in mid-April. Advertising will once again extend to the large billboards found on the highways around Montreal.
Let’s not forget that this festival was created in the ’80s because of Florent Vollant’s desire. That’s why we wanted to create a program that included artists who left their mark on the ’80s. We wanted to give it a nostalgic flavour!
