American rock band Styx, and Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil will be performing in Calgary at a two-day concert over the Labour Day long weekend.
Party in the Park takes place at Canada Olympic Park (COP) on Saturday, Aug. 31 and Sunday, Sept. 1.
Other acts set to play include George Thorogood and The Destroyers, 54-40 and Trooper and The Northern Pikes.
WinSport’s chief operating officer John Sutherland said the concert gives them the opportunity to expand their audience and showcase the site.
“Hosting concerts such as Party in the Park allow WinSport to deliver on our purpose, which is to inspire and activate human potential through the spirit of sport,” Sutherland added.
Tickets start at $125 for a day pass via Ticketmaster.
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.
