Hedley headlines Big Music Fest

Big Music Fest takes place on July 3 in Owen Sound, Ontario and offers an impressive line-up of Canadian artists.

Besides Hedley, scheduled to perform the closing show at the festival, fans can look forward to catching Our Lady Peace, Finger Eleven, Matthew Good and David Wilcox.

Owen Sound is a small municipality located two and a half hours northwest of Toronto. It is the first time the place has hosted this event.

Organizers expect more than 10,000 rock fans from across southwestern Ontario to gather in Owen Sound on the Saturday after Canada Day.

Belleville, Ontario has successfully hosted its own version of the Big Music Fest for the last several years. It has a festival planned for the summer. On June 19, Gord Downie, ZZ Top, Collective Soul, Big Sugar, Karl Wolf and Danny Fernandes will be on hand to perform.

Tickets are already on sale for these two music festivals.
