Rock the Lake to bring April Wine, Nazareth to Kelowna

The line-up for Rock the Lake in Kelowna next summer has been released and it looks like it will be jam-packed with some of the hottest bands of the '70s and '80s.

Aldo Nova, April Wine, Chilliwack, Colin James, Harlequin, Haywire, Kim Mitchell, Loverboy, Nazareth, Powder Blues Band and The Spoons will headline the Kelowna music festival from Aug. 7 to 9, 2020.

Together they boast 30 platinum records, six gold records, and 16 Juno Awards, and one of them is even a Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee.

The outdoor festival takes place just outside Prospera Place in downtown Kelowna, near Okanagan Lake. The interior of the arena will be open for patrons to cool off with concession stands and a fully-licenced restaurant.

Over the past four years, the festival has seen numerous iconic classic rock acts that include Tom Cochrane, Randy Bachman, 54-40, Platinum Blonde, Trooper, Loverboy, Kim Mitchell, Honeymoon Suite and many more. The festival grounds will offer food trucks, drinks, and VIP access. Patrons are permitted to bring in their own lawn chairs for this all-ages event. See www.prosperaplace.com for further details.

Full weekend packages and VIP tickets are already on sale. The full event pass starts at $168.00, while VIP tickets will cost $443.00 plus taxes and service charges for both.
