Rock music royalty, Aerosmith, will headline a newly added fourth day of Roxodus this summer at the Edenvale Aerodrome.
Aerosmith has sold more than 150 million albums worldwide with hits like ‘I don’t want to miss a thing,’ ‘Crazy,’ ‘Dream On,’ and Livin’ on the Edge.’ Roxodus will mark the band’s only Canadian stop in 2019.
Organizers expect thousands of fans to attend the concert that will now rock on for four full days with performances by Alice Cooper, Kid Rock, Billy Idol, Blondie, Lynyrd Skynyrd and many more at the outdoor field.
For those who have already purchased Roxodus tickets, organizers say the Sunday show will now be included in your ticket.
MF Live partner, Mike Dunphy says, "It's a whole experience that weekend. We've got food experiences with celebrity chefs, we've got helicopter rides, and we’ve got camping on site and a camping centre."
Dunphy adds campsites are already more than 70-percent sold out.
Permits are still being processed, but just as with the Boots and Hearts festival in Oro-Medonte there are concerns in Clearview too.
Clearview Township Councillor, Connie Leishman says it’s all about the traffic, “because our roads are very narrow. Our neighbours have to get in and out, do their shopping, go to work every day. They can't stop for a concert."
Organizers say they are working with the township to help mitigate noise and congestion.
But the tourism boom is expected to go far beyond the 600 acres of concert space.
Simcoe County Tourism officials expect the festival to bring in big bucks.
Tourism Simcoe County Manager, Kathryn Stephenson says, "It's all the spinoff. The accommodation, retail, gas, it's enormous for the county and for its operators."
The four-day concert event will run from July 11 to 14.
