Revelree 2024 to welcome international artists

There will be 10 acts over two days at this year's Revelree Music Festival.

The lineup for the outdoor event at Sarnia's Canatara Park was announced on Thursday. The all-ages festival is set for Friday, July 19 and Saturday, July 20.

Festival President and CEO Scott Palko said acts on July 20 will include Loviet, as well as a special guest which hasn't been announced yet.

"Following that, we have Teigen Gayse who is a little bit of a TikTok sensation but she's a great singer/songwriter out of British Columbia so, we're bringing her in to play," said Palko. "Then headlining Friday Night are the Goo Goo Dolls."

Palko said Buck Twenty from LaSalle will play on July 20.

"The third act to take the stage is The Castellows, they're actually three sisters from Nashville and then direct support is Gavin Degraw on Saturday night," he said. "Our country headliner for the first time is Brett Young."

In 2024, the music festival is adding a new competition.

Currently, an emerging artist competition is happening in the city where different bands will take the stage at Collide Lounge and Events until April.

He said eight out of the 20 bands in the contest are local.

"The winner of each night is coming back (to Collide) May 10 and they're going to perform," said Palko. "The two winners of that show, one will play the opening on Friday and the other is going to play the opening on Saturday."

Last year, 7,500 attended the outdoor concert at Canatara Park, which can accommodate 15,000 people.

"Our growth has been wonderful! The support we've received from the community has been fantastic, and so seeing people just enjoy being there is another reason to come back," Palko explained.

Tickets are available at revelreemusicfestival.com.

The special guest for July 19 will be announced on March 2.
