Caledon Day line-up for 2019: The Best Ever
Back to Search
The Town of Caledon is pleased to announce its 2019 Caledon Day line-up, highlighted by a headline performance by four-time JUNO nominated Tokyo Police Club on the Husky Main Stage.
“This is the best front-to-back program we have ever put together for Caledon Day,” said Mayor Allan Thompson. “This celebration has become our signature event, attracting people from across the GTA.”
“Caledon Day is such a great community celebration,” said Michael McKendry, Vice President Corporate Services and General Counsel, Husky Injection Molding Systems. “Husky is proud to call Caledon home, and we’re thrilled to support this event and help bring a great main stage line-up to the residents of Caledon and area.”
Newmarket’s Tokyo Police Club is ready to rock the Husky Main Stage at Caledon Day starting at 8:30 p.m. TPC has been a mainstay in the Canadian indie rock scene for the last thirteen years. Fronted by bassist David Monks, keyboardist Graham Wright, guitarist Josh Hook and drummer Greg Alsop, TPC was recently honoured with a JUNO nomination for the 2019 Alternative Album of the Year.
Opening for Tokyo Police Club at 7 p.m. will be the alt-country outfit Blackie Jackett Jr., whose style has been described as “whiskey-drenched lyrics rolled up in a cloud of honky tonk smoke.” Blackie Jackett Jr. was born in the minds of Finger Eleven guitarists James Black and Rick Jackett and is beautifully balanced by the vocals of the Dolly-inspired Sandra Dee.
The Husky Main Stage Lineup begins at 2 p.m. with a performance for the whole family by 2019 JUNO Nominees Sonshine & Broccoli. Driven by vocals and fueled by boundless positive energy, their playful harmonies are sure to kick off Caledon Day with a bang.
At 3 p.m. the next generation of the renowned Leahy Family takes the stage as Rhythmfoot. Building on over three generations of Leahy musicianship, Frank Leahy, together with Chanda and their children, are keeping those traditions alive through music, song, and dance.
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Woodstock, the Husky Main Stage turns back the clock at 4 p.m. to a time of peace and love, with Creedence Clearwater Survival. You will be convinced you’re taking a ride on the Bayou, as this world-class impersonator pays homage to the legendary John Fogerty.
The evening of Caledon Day is sure to get you moving early with the funky sounds of Toronto’s own all female funk/soul band, Grace. Starting at 5:30 p.m., you won’t want to leave the dance floor as this FunkSouLicious band of women, starting at 5:30 p.m., brings you funk, soul, disco and a whole lotta love.
After the performances by Blackie Jackett Jr. and Tokyo Police Club on the Husky Main Stage, don’t miss out on the highly anticipated fireworks grand finale.
