Concert: Gowan

Saturday June 27th @ 8:00pm
Del Crary Park

Gowan will launch Peterborough Musicfest’s 39th season with a free opening-night concert at Del Crary Park on Saturday, June 27 at 8 p.m., bringing one of Canadian rock’s most theatrical and enduring performers back to the waterfront. Best known for hits like “A Criminal Mind,” “Strange Animal,” and “Moonlight Desires,” Gowan remains a crowd magnet — part pop craftsman, part rock showman, part glorious ringmaster of his own melodrama. A returning favourite making his fourth appearance on the Fred Anderson Stage, he arrives with the kind of catalogue built for a summer kickoff: big choruses, bold hooks, and enough personality to fill the park before the sun even disappears. And yes, his years with Styx only add to the larger-than-life aura. For Musicfest, it’s a strong opening move — a veteran performer with genuine Canadian rock pedigree, kicking off another season of free concerts by the water.
