Riverfest Elora 2018 has announced the lineup for the three-day festival in August and it will feature The Flaming Lips, Blue Rodeo and Carly Rae Jepsen.
“It’s our 10th annual [festival] and we really wanted to step it up a bit, but we also wanted to bring back some of our favourites from the past 10 years,” said festival manager Spencer Shewen.
This year’s festival begins Aug. 17 at Bissell Park in Elora and also includes July Talk, Dear Rouge, Bedouin Soundclash, Born Ruffians and Wolf Parade.
Riverfest Elora was started as a one-day event by local artist Marilyn Koop, who died in 2012. Shewen said it continues to grow every year.
“The idea for us is that if you were to put all the music from the festival into a giant playlist and hit shuffle, you would never need to skip a song,” Shewen said.
