Def Leppard and Jason Aldean will headline a new live music festival coming to Winnipeg in summer.
The rock band and the country artist will headline the Thunder Stadium Concert Series, which will be held in the Princess Auto Stadium in July, True North Sports + Entertainment and the Winnipeg Football Club announced Monday.
Kevin Donnelly, senior vice-president of True North Sports + Entertainment, said the festival will feature the first stadium shows held at the venue in eight years.
“The Thunder Stadium Concert Series is built to last,” Donnelly said.
“The plan is to make this an annual festival that Winnipeggers, Manitobans and folks across the entire region can plan on.”
The festival will be split into two nights catering to rock and country music fans.
More to come.
