Selena Gomez, Fetty Wap heading to Quebec Music Festival!
Quote:
Actress and singer Selena Gomez is one of the headliners set for this year's Festival d'été de Québec, which typically draws tens of thousands of people to concerts on the Plains of Abraham and around Quebec City every summer.
Selena Gomez, Brad Paisley, Fetty Wap, Bryan Ferry, Sheryl Crow and The Lumineers are among the major acts heading to Quebec City this summer for the annual Festival d'été de Québec.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers were previously announced as performers.
Organizers of the Quebec City summer music festival unveiled on Tuesday an eclectic bill bursting with big names from a diverse range of genres, from 80s and 90s favourites to some of today's chart-toppers "We're proud to announce a lineup featuring more musical styles than ever before: rock, pop, adult contemporary, metal, country, indie, Americana, folk, hip-hop and electro," program director Louis Bellavance said in a statement.
"I would say that this is the strongest program we've given our fans in years."
Past performers have included the Roling Stones, Elton John, Arcade Fire, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder.
This year's strong slate stands out in particular because the low Canadian dollar has dramatically affected many music festivals across the country, forcing organizers to cut back on A-list acts and international names and focus on Canadian artists or, in some cases, to cancel this summer's editions.
Never thought of this, no wonder why Bluesfest and Osheaga festivals have been so lackluster and the same lineup.
