BARRIE, ONT. The stage is set for the return of live music at Burl s Creek in Oro-Medonte. The Endless Summer Series kicks off with a three-day classic rock festival featuring tribute artists. Concertgoers who chose to camp for the weekend started arriving Friday morning, with performances scheduled throughout the long weekend. This is an opportunity to have real, live outdoor amplified music, said Todd Jenereaux, EVP of Republic Live. We re trying to bring people back to give them the experience they ve been missing for two years. This will mark Ontario s first outdoor live concert since the pandemic began, and for the thousands of people expected over the weekend, it s been a long time coming.
The shows, billed as a step towardsthe return of live music in the province, will start with a series of classic rock tribute bands on the July 30 to Aug. 1 holiday weekend.
Then the shows kick into high gear with a lineup of known country stars Aug. 6 and 7, starting that Friday with Kissel, Jess Moskaluke and Cory Marks. On Saturday, performers Tebey, David Boyd Janes and Vanessa Marie Carter round out the names on the bill.
Rock acts the Trews, the Blue Stones and Ferraro will play Aug. 13 while Our Lady Peace, I Mother Earth and Monowhales take the stage on Aug. 14.
