The event, which is fully licensed and open to ages 13+, will take place at the WinSport Arena.

The concert was originally supposed to be in the amphitheater at WinSport’s Acura Tube Park, but event organizers announced on June 12 that the event would be moved indoors over concerns of potential air quality issues if forest fires were to spark.
