"It's always extra special when we can headline in a city where we've never been," says Jerry Cantrell of ALICE IN CHAINS. "I'm pretty sure this will be our first gig ever in Winnipeg, and MTS Rock On The Range Canada is the perfect show for us play. We can't wait."
"MTS Rock On The Range is Canada's premier Rock festival, with a great lineup at an incredibly low ticket price,” says event co-producer Del Williams of Los Angeles-based Right Arm Entertainment, Inc. "All the bands have made an earnest pledge to deliver unforgettable performances for the Canadian 'Rangers.' It is going to be personal. The objective is to make August 20 the best day of rock that Winnipeg has ever had."
Kevin Donnelly of True North says, "The growth in popularity of MTS Rock On The Range Canada has been nothing short of amazing. We are thrilled to be able to create such a great mix of beloved established acts along with up-and-coming bands for this year's festival."
