ABOUT BACK IN THE DAY
Back In The Day MTL is Montreal's favourite old-school party for the generation that grew up on 90s and 2000s Hip Hop, R&B, and Dancehall. Created by husband-and-wife team Jason Tull and Linda Phoumalavong, the party brings together the people who still remember the songs, the clubs, the outfits, and the feeling of a real night out.
Known for sold-out events, beautiful crowds, and dance floors where everyone sings along, Back In The Day is powered by resident DJs Keith Dean and Chops Wunda.
Not a throwback party. The real thing.
