Saturday, July 25th at Officers’ Square is a celebration of East Coast sound — bold, rooted, and unforgettable.

Headlining July 25: Joel Plaskett — Nova Scotia songwriter, rock architect, and one of the most influential voices in Canadian music. From Thrush Hermit to The Joel Plaskett Emergency, from Massey Hall to orchestral stages, Joel has spent over 30 years evolving while staying proudly anchored in East Coast tradition.

Joining him in the lineup…

The Stanfields
Rhythm-fueled, hard-driving, and unapologetically blue-collar. The Stanfields have built an international following across Canada and Europe with their fusion of rock power and traditional roots. Recently selling out acoustic theatre shows across the Maritimes, they remain one of the region’s most electrifying live acts — and winners of Nova Scotia Entertainer of the Year.

And bringing the heartbeat of Acadian tradition…

Vishtèn
For over two decades, Vishtèn has been a driving force in Acadian music, blending deep-rooted tradition with fearless innovation. With a JUNO nomination, multiple ECMA and Music PEI Awards, and thousands of performances across North America, Europe, and Australia, their electrifying mix of traditional French songs, powerful instrumentals, and driving rhythms has carried Acadian culture onto the world stage.

Three powerhouse acts. One unforgettable Saturday night in Fredericton. Tickets on Sale February 25th at highlandgames.ca
