Wayback Festival lineup update
Unfortunately, Loverboy will no longer perform at Wayback Festival on Saturday, July 25, due to a health-related issue within the band's touring party. We know fans were looking forward to seeing Loverboy, and we wish everyone involved a full and speedy recovery.
Wayback Festival will continue as planned on July 24 and 25 in downtown Kitchener, with two days of classic rock, tribute performances and Canadian music favourites. The current lineup is available on KitchenerLIVE.ca/Wayback.
The City is finalizing arrangements for a new act to join the lineup in place of Loverboy and expects to share an announcement soon. Festival-goers are encouraged to stay tuned for additional details.
