Local Music & Entertainment...
The bigger concerts...
Locally at Festival Place in Sherwood Park and the Shell Theatre in the Dow Centre in Fort Saskatchewan, we get some world-class performers. If you are a music lover, make sure to check out their seasonal brochures.
If you're hoping to catch a big act, such as Garth Brooks, Metallica or Justin Timberlake - they will typically be playing at Rogers Place in Edmonton. Sometimes they might be at the Edmonton Convention Centre; Jubilee Auditorium; or even Commonwealth Stadium - if they can get here in the summer and are popular enough to pack a stadium.
