Klô Pelgag performed twice on the main stage at the Plains of Abraham during Quebec's National Holiday celebrations on June 23, 2026 [1].
The event showcased the intersection of contemporary Quebecois artistry and national identity, drawing a massive crowd to one of the city's most historic sites.
Pelgag first appeared as the opening act for musician Patrick Watson, taking the stage at 8 p.m. [2]. After completing her initial set, she returned to the stage a second time [3] to appear as a guest during Watson's "carte blanche" performance.
The concert was part of the Fête nationale festivities, which celebrate the culture and heritage of Quebec. The scale of the event was significant, with more than 65,000 people in attendance [4].
Local media noted the success of the evening's programming. A journalist from the Journal de Québec said, "Cette fois, ce fut la bonne," referring to the quality of the spectacle [5].
The pairing of Pelgag and Watson served as a centerpiece for the holiday's musical offerings, utilizing the open-air venue of the Plains of Abraham to accommodate the tens of thousands of spectators [1], [4].

The high attendance and the specific curation of artists like Pelgag and Watson reflect a continued effort to modernize the Fête nationale's image. By blending avant-garde performance with a mass-market audience of over 65,000 people, the celebration reinforces the role of the arts in maintaining Quebec's distinct cultural identity on a public scale.
