BREAKING: Start.ca Rocks the Park postponed
Start.ca Rocks the Park has been part of London’s summer celebrations for seventeen years. Our festival is a staple in the London community where we pride ourselves on our social and economic benefits, including raising over $3.5 million for local charities. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the postponing of our festival until July 14th – 17th, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the last few weeks we have been monitoring the situation closely and have determined that, along with government mandates in Ontario, it is no longer safe to move forward with our festival in July. The well-being of our fans, artists, staff, vendors, partners and the surrounding community is our number one priority. These are without a doubt crazy and unprecedented times but as a city and community, we will all get through this. Our company has been in the entertainment business for over ninety years and we are no stranger to challenges. We will overcome this and grow from it, but now is the time to be safe, smart and look out for one another by protecting everyone else who supports us.
Nelly Still Hot In Herre | Algonquin Commons Theatre
Coming of age in the 2000s, it was hard to not have been at least peripherally familiar with Nelly’s music, if not jamming to his songs on the radio or in the club on a regular basis. Once a huge household name in hip-hop music, Grammy award winner Nelly performed at a much smaller venue than one might expect last night in Ottawa: the 700-seat Algonquin Commons Theatre. Unsurprisingly, the show was sold out.

It was a cool, damp, spring evening in Ottawa when Florida Georgia Line returned to the Canadian Tire Centre just over 2 years after their last performance in the city.
Rock the Park, The Rest of the Story…
After two epic nights of country, Rock the Park shifted gears in Downtown London’s Harris Park. New for 2016 was Virgin Fest 2016, sponsored by 97.5 Virgin Radio, in London. Now, I need to be honest here and say this night’s line up was not one I was really keen on. The line up included local performer, Ria Mae, Canadian rapper Classified, Nelly, and Flo Rida. As a guy who listens to mainly country music and some rock thrown in there, this was bound to be an interesting night.
