Editorial: Gala ADISQ 2025

On November 10, 2025, the 47th Gala ADISQ, hosted by Pierre-Yves Roy-Desmarais, took place. Congratulations to those who won a Félix. The performances were phenomenal.

Before the opening act, there was a heartfelt tribute to the late Serge Fiori. The montage was well done and honoured the music legend.

The host, Pierre-Yves Roy-Desmarais, gave two terrific monologues. The first one had a hilarious sketch that added a nice touch of his witty humour. Both were profound and expressed a genuine love for the music industry in Quebec.
