Today, the City announced the line-up for the 2026 Music @ Concert Series.

“Music @ has a unique way of bringing people together, and we’re excited to welcome residents and visitors alike to enjoy another summer of outstanding local performances,” said Councillor Jill Bruce, lead for Community Services. “The Music @ Concert Series continues to showcase the incredible talent in our community while creating opportunities for people of all ages to connect and celebrate through live music.”

Music @ is an annual concert series running from July to September. All shows are free to attend and feature a wide variety of musical genres, including folk, rock, pop, traditional, and country. Each concert will open with a performance by a young emerging artist, thanks to our partnership with the Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Arts Society.
