A benefit concert for victims of the Fort McMurray wildfire, featuring a roster of high-profile Canadian musical acts including Blue Rodeo, Nickelback, Dean Brody and Corb Lund, is set to take place next month.
Billed as Fire Aid for Fort McMurray, the concert will take place on June 29, 2016 at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Alta. Additional acts on the announced bill include Randy Bachman, Brett Kissel, the Rankin Family, Alan Doyle & the Beautiful Gypsies and Dallas Smith.
Funds raised by the concert will be donated to the Fort McMurray United Way and all proceeds will remain in the Fort McMurray area.
"Come join together with Canada's top performers," a statement on the Fire Aid website reads. "From the stage and from the seats, our voices will unite in song and our friends in Fort Mac will hear us loud and clear and know that they’re not alone as they begin to rebuild."
Tickets for the concert range from $35 to $99 and go on sale at 10 a.m. on May 30.
