THE BURLINGTON SOUND OF MUSIC IS BACK AND BIGGER THAN EVER!
Burlington, ON. – Once again Spencer Smith Park will be alive with the Sound of Music! After two long years of cancellations, pivots, reimaginings and ingenuity, the Burlington Sound of Music Festival is slated to return in full force June 11 – 19, 2022 with artists such as BLACK STONE CHERRY, THE WARNING, THE TREWS, FUEL, THE TEA PARTY, SKID ROW, FANTASTIC NEGRITO, HIGH VALLEY, THE WASHBOARD UNION, THE WARNING, THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, WIDE MOUTH MASON, FINGER ELEVEN, BIF NAKED, HONEYMOON SUITE and many more!
“Coming back after two years off; we wanted to put together a serious party year for the community that has been waiting patiently for a return to live music,” says Sound of Music Inc. CEO, Myles Rusak. “This is definitely one of our biggest lineups in our 43 year history. On top of some award winning Canadian and International names, we have over 30 local artists who will be performing across our stages and celebrating in this cultural return.
The Festival will host all of the components of the past, done up even bigger than before. Three main-stages, an elevated Club Series experience, Streetfest, Family Zone, Parade, Midway…they’re all here,” Rusak continues.
The Festival anticipates record numbers in attendance and has used the past two years to learn and grow as an organization. Many of these learnings will be found in the 2022 Festival.
“As an organization we didn’t just want to pump the brakes and wait out the pandemic. The Board, staff and volunteers worked tirelessly to find new and innovative ways to keep the music alive in our community over the past two years,” says Ashlee Livingstone, Board Chairperson. “We’re proud to bring the Festival back and will be sure that all public safety measures are in place so that we have a safe, fun and exciting Festival. We’d like to publicly thank our Sponsors, Donors and Supporters who have helped to bring the Festival back and look forward to welcoming you all in to the park this summer.”
Kicking off the Festival will be Sound of Music’s ticketed fundraiser show Live on the Lake featuring Three Days Grace, Tim Hicks, The Beaches and Saving Abel.
