Del Crary Park, Musicfest
Canadian rock royalty Kim Mitchell is rolling into Del Crary Park to bring the 2025 Peterborough Musicfest season to a thunderous close on Saturday, August 16 at 8:00 PM—and he’s not coming quietly.
With a career carved into the bedrock of Canadian music, Mitchell has been melting faces and lighting up patios for over 45 years. First with Max Webster—the wonderfully weird, guitar-driven machine that turned progressive rock into a homegrown cult religion—and then as a solo powerhouse whose ‘80s anthems helped define the sound of a generation. Go For A Soda became a rock radio staple (and a Miami Vice cameo), while Patio Lanterns still triggers that soft-focus summer flashback like it’s 1986.
This marks Mitchell’s fifth time levelling Musicfest—previously blowing minds in ’97, ’02, ’12, and ’17. His 2012 show was such a hot ticket, even the weather couldn’t stop it: when rain forced a do-over, fans came back in droves to make sure the amps got cranked to eleven.
Now, in his fifth decade of rocking and rolling with a wicked grin and a guitar always at the ready, Kim Mitchell returns to finish what he started—one final, glorious, electric exclamation mark on a summer full of music. Bring your lawn chair, bring your air guitar, and prepare to shake like a human being.
