Canadian Rockers ‘Sloan’ to Headline New Year’s Eve!
This year's “Rockin’ New Year’s Eve” entertainment lineup was announced this morning in Victoria Park by Ed Holder and Bruce McGuffin, co-chairs of the event coordinating committee.
Londoners of all ages will gather downtown in beautiful Victoria Park to welcome in 2016 with music, laughter, and spectacular fireworks – it’s all about family, it’s all about fun, and it’s free!
This year's festivities are full of home grown talent, with children’s act ‘Glee London’ kicking off the evening at a new start time of 8 p.m. Then, it’s all eyes skyward for a special children's fireworks display at 9 p.m.
After 9 p.m., local alternative pop favourites ‘Ivory Hours’ take the stage. Fresh off of releasing a new album this year and then going on to win the Canada’s Walk of Fame Emerging Artist Mentorship Program, the band has announced a North American tour for spring 2016 and is the perfect act to warm up the crowd for this year’s headliners, ‘Sloan’.
‘Sloan’ is a Toronto-based quartet who, throughout their nearly twenty-five-year career, have released 11 LPs, two EPs, a live album, a greatest hits album and more than thirty singles. Each of the four band members is an accomplished songwriter, resulting in a diverse catalogue of material for the band to choose from, including their Top 10 hits “Everything You’ve Done Wrong,” “The Good in Everyone” and “Money City Maniacs.”
And, of course, the evening wouldn't be complete without a phenomenal fireworks display from the rooftop of City Hall when the clock strikes midnight.
Join us in Victoria Park on December 31 for a very special ‘Rockin' New Year’s Eve’.
