Peterborough Musicfest has announced the remaining four concerts of its 38th summer season.
On May 15, organizers had announced the majority of the line-up of the free-admission festival, but four concerts in July were still to be announced.
“I’ve got a couple of bands that are playing at other festivals, selling tickets right now, so we’re not allowed to announce (them) until June,” Musicfest executive director Tracey Randall told kawarthaNOW at the time.
During an event for festival sponsors on Tuesday (June 17), festival organizers confirmed the six artists who will be performing in July.
On Saturday, July 5, Juno award-winning pop musician Preston Pablo, who hails from Timmins, will take to the Fred Anderson stage.
Singer-songwriter noelle, raised on the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory in Ontario, will open.
