Shania Twain, Lainey Wilson to headline P.E.I. country music festival next summer
Cavendish Beach Music Festival announces first big names for 2025 event
Country superstars Shania Twain and Lainey Wilson will headline the 2025 Cavendish Beach Music Festival, organizers Whitecap Entertainment announced Tuesday.
The news comes just two weeks after the 15th annual festival came to a close in the Prince Edward Island tourism mecca.
Twain will perform on Thursday, July 10, and Wilson will take the stage on Saturday, July 12. Tickets for a one-day Thursday pass start at $190 plus, and a one-day Saturday pass starts at $164 plus tax.
Festival tickets are available now from the Cavendish Beach Music Festival site.
Twain's last performance on P.E.I. was in 2014 at the Charlottetown Event Grounds.
The native of Timmins, Ont., is the top-selling female country-pop artist of all time. She has won five Grammys, sold more than 100 million albums worldwide and, at 58 years of age, shows no signs of slowing down.
In 2023, she kicked off her sold-out global Queen of Me tour, which was one of the Top 10 highest-grossing country tours of the year.
Her hits include Any Man of Mine, That Don't Impress Me Much, You're Still the One and Man! I Feel Like A Woman!
Wilson, 32, who hails from Louisiana, will be making her first trip to P.E.I. She is the reigning Country Music Association entertainer of the year, and also acted in Season 5 of the hit television series Yellowstone.
Wilson won this year's Grammy Award for country album of the year with Bell Bottom Country.
The performers add to a star-studded list of CBMF alumni. The festival has in the past hosted Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Chris Stapleton, Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton, Keith Urban and Brad Paisley.
