Set for July 9 and 10 and presented by the Trans Canada Brewing Company, the event will span two days, aspiring to bring a festival-like atmosphere to the city and address what the news release called, “ an extended absence of large-scale outdoor shows in the region.”

“Led by mega act Def Leppard and Jason Aldean, who’s had more Top 10 hits on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart than any other artist since 2005, these star-studded rock and country lineups will mark an explosive and long-overdue musical return to Princess Auto Stadium,” said Kevin Donnelly, True North’s Sr. Vice President of Venues + Entertainment in the release.

“Stadium shows and festivals are quickly becoming summer’s hottest entertainment ticket across North America, and we are excited to create the blueprint to bring a unique festival experience to Manitoba’s backyard.”

Residents looking to partake can get access by buying a single event ticket, or a Thunder Pass, that gets them into both shows, with VIP options available for those who are looking to have a front-row view of the legendary artists.
