Rock the Park prepares to take over downtown London

CTV News London’s Nick Paparella gives us a preview of the annual music festival

For the 22nd year, Rock the Park is set up at Harris Park with four nights of musical entertainment to please a wide range of tastes.

It kicks off on Wednesday with The Lumineers as the headliners, followed by Pure Country night on Thursday and Jordan Davis as the main attraction.

On Friday it’s Virgin Radio hip hop night with Nelly as the headliner.

On Saturday, the music festival wraps up with rock night.

“Some think this the best line-up we’ve ever had,” said Brad Jones of Rock the Park.

“We will have more than 40,000 in the park over the four days.”

Like every year, there is a charitable component to the event.

“Three charities are benefitting and so far over the two decades more than $5 million has been raised,” said Jones.

Tickets are still available for all four nights. For more information, you can visit www.rockthepark.ca.
