In this day and age of social media, people expect more from a live performance and Neon Nostalgic delivers a show that appeals to all of the senses! Performed by musicians who have toured in over 15 countries around the world, Neon Nostalgic delivers an entertaining and high energy show that is built around interacting and engaging with the audience. The show has received rave reviews across North America and was dubbed ‘A musical and visual triumph’ by the Bermuda Sun, after a sold-out headline performance in Bermuda for New Years Eve in 2017. The show includes a vast array or more than 100 different covers from the 1980s to today. Prince, Bon Jovi, INXS, U2, Oasis, Pearl Jam, Michael Jackson, The Killers, Duran Duran, The Cure and many many more

Peterborough Musicfest is one of Canada’s longest-running free admission music festival and a highlight of the summer season for visitors exploring Peterborough County and the Kawarthas. The series takes place at Del Crary Park on the shores of Little Lake, offering a scenic waterfront setting for live music under the stars.
