Def Leppard and Jason Aldean headline new summer stadium festival
Rockin’ Thunder and Country Thunder hit Princess Auto Stadium July 9 and 10 for the first stadium show in nearly eight years!
The Thunder Stadium Concert Series presented by Trans Canada Brewing Company (TCB) brings two days of incredible live music and unforgettable experiences to Princess Auto Stadium this summer with headliners Def Leppard on July 9 and Jason Aldean on July 10.
Rockin’ Thunder

Heralded as the world’s greatest live rock band, Def Leppard will bring an arsenal of hits to a spectacular stage show, joined by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and the multi-platinum Foreigner, responsible for some of rock and roll’s most enduring anthems, including the worldwide No. 1 hit I Want To Know What Love Is. Canadian super group Toque will set the tone as the opening act and includes local ties with Winnipeg native Brent Fitz, formerly of Slash, at the drums.
Country Thunder

Fresh off his sold-out U.S. Highway Desperado tour, ACM Artist of the Decade Jason Aldean will be joined by Tyler Hubbard, formerly half of acclaimed duo Florida Georgia Line, who followed his first solo single 5 foot 9 – the first-ever country song to receive the Diamond certification – with his self-titled debut album in 2023. Up-and-comers Nate Smith, Billboard’s Rookie of the Year and Amazon’s Breakthrough Artist for 2024, and Platinum-certified No. 1 songwriter poised for breakout, Canadian Madeline Merlo will warm up the crowd.
