More than two dozen musical acts will rock Grand Bend, Ontario over the August long weekend when the Cutting Edge Music Festival comes to the Lake Huron summertime hot spot.

The festival will take over the Grand Bend Motorplex for a four-day extravaganza of camping, drinking and general merriment from August 3 to 6. Among the acts currently slated to play the main stage over two nights at the open-air event are Alexisonfire, Moneen, Protest The Hero, Hunter Valentine, Social Code, IllScarlett and The Junction.

A second stage, dubbed The Dance Tent, will cater to more electronic and dance-oriented tastes with the likes of MSTRKRFT, the Jimmy Swift Band and Mark Oliver.

Single-day tickets go for $34 each, while four-day passes will set you back $88. Shuttle bus service is available from Toronto's Nathan Phillips Square and London's Victoria Park. For more information, visit the Cutting Edge website.
