History

Théâtre Fairmount (or Fairmount Theatre) opened in March 2015 under the ownership of Neon Productions, a local promoter with over 15 years of experience with live shows.[1][2] Previously the venue was known under the names Cabaret Mile-End, Kola Note [3] and was the location for the original Club Soda which operated from 1983 until 1999 when it moved to their present-day location in the Quartier des Spectacles on Saint Laurent Boulevard.[4]

Over the years the room has seen the likes of Soundgarden, Oasis,[5] Robert Palmer, Rufus Wainwright, The Go-Betweens, Ben Harper [6] and Fun. grace the stage, as well was known for week-long residencies by Quebec rock icons such as Michel Pagliaro.
