UPDATED: The Sam Roberts Band will open up this year's festival, on Friday, July 31st with The Arkells and The Respectables. Sunday's line-up has yet to be announced.
Canada's favourite rock outfit, Kingston's The Tragically Hip, will be headlining North Rocks The Bay this August long weekend.
At a press conference held at Holiday Inn Express today, festival organizers Symphony of Sound said they had successfully booked the band in an attempt to expand the festival's reach and appeal. The company's marketing approach has been developed to complement tourism growth in the North. To Symphony of Sound's credit, the plan may just work: the organizers have secured a Northern 'exclusive' deal with the band so that North Bay has special access to their tour.
The Tragically Hip are touring in support of their newly released album, "We Are All The Same," in stores since April 7th. Opening for The Tragically Hip are Attack in Black and The Skydiggers. Tickets go on public sale May 1st, but special pre-sale opportunities will be available for Hip fan club members and sponsor radio listeners.
This year's waterfront capacity clocks in at 50, 000 people and tickets will range in price from $50 for a day pass to $80 for a full, three-day weekend pass.
