I found some article about it on the CC:

OLP, ZZ Top to headline music fest
WALKERTON, Ont. (CP) -- Some major starpower is slated to attend a three-day music festival in this southern Ontario town next summer.

ZZ Top, Bryan Adams, Travis Tritt, Our Lady Peace, Peter Frampton and Martina McBride have been booked to perform at Watershed Four, to be held the weekend of Aug. 30.

Tickets, $176 for the weekend or $96 for single day, go on sale Dec. 6. Profits from food and beverage sales will go to local service clubs and to Walkerton Minor Sports.

The 2002 event, which featured Supertramp and Brooks and Dunn, attracted 40,000 people -- about five times the size of the local population -- raised nearly $200,000 for a wide variety of community activities.

Mayor Dave Thomas said he is delighted Watershed is returning for a fourth summer.

"This event brings a lot of attention to a town which has seen some very hard times," he said. "Watershed brings the biggest stars in music to an area that sees relatively little live entertainment, it raises money for community groups, and it gives Walkerton a real lift."

The annual Watershed festival began three years ago as part of a goodwill effort to rebuild the town after the worst outbreak of E. coli in Canadian history. Seven people died and 2,300 fell ill in the southwestern Ontario community when E. coli bacteria made its way into the town's water supply

I might actually go. Driving from Boston would be about 15 hours, I bet, but whatever. I'm planning to rent cars for next year's concert binges.

Hey Emily Jane, Great Big Sea and the Tragically Hip played the next day at the festival.
