Luminato First Night with Randy Bachman

Randy Bachman rocks Yonge-Dundas Square! It's our free opening-night party - and you're invited!

Celebrate Luminato's opening night with our free outdoor concert in Yonge-Dundas Square - your hub of activity for the Festival!

The featured performer this year is rock icon Randy Bachman, whose performing and recording career - first as lead guitarist with The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive, and then as a major solo recording artist in his own right - has provided the soundtrack for an entire generation of Canadian lives and earned him fame around the world.

Joining Randy at our opening night celebration will be Digging Roots, hailed as rebel music's newest saviours, and the Canadian Tenors, fresh off their One Night Live show with Sheryl Crow and Sting at the ACC.

"Bachman is a true Canadian musical treasure. Not only is he a wicked guitarist, but he's also a living piece of rock history, an amateur environmentalist and a proud Canadian... All told, Bachman RULES!" - Trevor Hargreaves, Chart Attack
