The Salmon Festival in Grand Falls-Windsor this July will have a true classic-rock vibe, as organizers on Thursday announced the full lineup. 

Joining headliner John Fogerty — whose appearance was announced last month — will be Tom Cochrane with Red Rider, Collective Soul, America and The Fables.

The full-day concert will be held July 11, the same day that Rod Stewart will headline a festival in St. John's. 

The Salmon Festival, which aimed for a younger demographic last year with headliner Maroon 5, wound up losing money. 

Festival chair Darren Finn, a councillor with the Town of Grand Falls-Windsor, said the festival will "present a day chock-full of classic rock music."

Tickets for the festival go on sale April 17. Ticket prices have not yet been announced.
