Western Fair Reveals New Outdoor Concert Venue

The Western Fair District is unveiling what the new outdoor concert venue will look like.

Tickets are now on sale for the Van Halen concert this August. The show marks the beginning of a new partnership between London's Western Fair District and concert giant Live Nation.

Officials have yet to announce what other concerts will be taking place, but note the partnership is "multi-year" and aims to create a "premier outdoor concert venue in Southwestern Ontario.

Renovations started last year on the infield of the racetrack to ready the site for larger outdoor concerts.

A stage will go in the infield, with several different seating areas, spots to buy food and drink, as well as bathrooms.
