The lineup is in place for next summer's Cariboo Rocks the North.

In all, 11 bands will perform over the three-day festival, set for Aug. 7-9 at Exhibition Park: Tom Cochrane and Red Rider, Nazareth, Powder Blues Band, Aldo Nova, Harlequin, Haywire, Kick Ax, Prism, The Stampeders, Sweet and April Wine.

The lineup was unveiled Thursday.

"We just try to create a good complement of artists that work well together and kind of represent the feel and vibe of the event that we want to create, which is fun, good classic rock," CRTN event manager Kyle Sampson said.

As in years past, there will be a "heavy Canadian flavour" with one token act from outside the border. For 2020, that band is Sweet. 

Prism and Harlequin are returning acts.

"We heard from a lot of fans that Prism and Harlequin were some of our favourite acts yet, and the opportunity to bring them back was there," Sampson said.

Full weekend packages and VIP tickets are now on sale. The full weekend pass starts at $149.50 - an early-bird pricing, which ends this Monday - and VIP tickets will cost $399, plus service charges for both.

Tickets are available at the CN Centre box office, online at www.ticketsnorth.ca and by phone at 1-888-293-6613. Early-bird pricing ends this Monday and single-day tickets will become available at a later date. For more information, go to www.CaribooRocksTheNorth.com.
