Line-up announced for 2023 Bluewater BorderFest

Country and rock artists will be featured at Bluewater BorderFest in Sarnia this summer.

Committee member Mark Perrin announced the full line-up for the outdoor concert series on Blackburn Media radio Thursday morning.

"We're really excited for 2023, it's definitely the biggest line-up we've put together with Bluewater BorderFest," said Perrin. "It's going to take place on the first weekend of summer, Canada's summer kick-off concert Bluewater BorderFest June 22, 23 and 24 at Centennial Park."

Perrin said they've booked a mix of Canadian and American talent.

"On Thursday, we're going to kick things off with Justin Moore, Tim Hicks, Mackenzie Porter and DJ Johnny Rivex, for our country night."

The following two nights will feature rock bands.

"Friday, June 23, will be headlined by City and Colour, The Sheepdogs, The Blue Stones and The Down River Band playing. To end things off, Saturday, we have Daughtry coming, Theory of a Deadman, Pop Evil, and Bad Men Association."

Perrin said they're taking the festival "up a notch."

"Three really big nights. A major market festival that we're bringing into Sarnia. We're very excited just to take it up a notch from the past couple years again and keep growing and we look forward to having Sarnia very involved and giving back to the community with all of the great things that we do."

Pre-sale tickets are available now until Friday at 10 a.m. when the public sale starts.
