Fifty-six bands were scheduled to perform at the festival, but two groups travelling from the Regina area were told to stay home Tuesday.

“We always have some filler bands that are local too, so we’ll shuffle them into the program, but [Tuesday] will be the only day affected,” Ford said.

The full lineup is posted here.
