“We’re excited to share live music again, It’s an honour to present these talented musicians for Summer Satellites,” artistic director Amber Goodwyn wrote in a release. “Each artist is performing in solo or duo formations, which reflects our recognition that this time is a transitional one where we all learn how to adjust to ever-changing pandemic restrictions.
“We also figured that the constellation of in-person outdoor and online micro-concerts would be a gentle way for the community to ease back into concert-going.”
More details on what the event is expected to look like will be coming within the next few weeks.
“It is our priority to provide low risk and fun opportunities as we ease into gathering again. Our team has worked hard on our health and safety protocols and look forward to sharing those plans in the coming weeks,” Goodwyn said. “Our online micro concerts will premiere online and are free of charge, tickets for our outdoor stage will be on sale soon.
“We miss you and can’t wait until we meet again!”
In April, organizers made the announcement that the festival would be cancelled and no events would be happening in Victoria Park.
This year’s shows will take place at the Brandt Community Stage near the Conexus Arts Centre.
The lineup for Shake The Lake, which was announced on Tuesday, also is planned to take place at the Community Stage.
