Some residents of the south shore town have complained for years about noise coming from the island during music festivals.

This isn't the first time the musical extravaganza has been put on hold. Heavy Montreal was cancelled in 2009 and 2017.

Montreal has been officially designated a "metal city" as City Councillor Craig Sauvé has pushed through a bi-partisan motion to make the official designation.

The lineup includes Anthrax, Godsmack, Steel Panther and Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators among many others.
