Chad VanGaalen, The Acorn, Coeur De Pirate, Johnny And The Moon, Sunset Rubdown and Luke Doucet are the first artists confirmed to perform at this summer's Dawson City Music Festival.

The festival began in 1979 and will run this year from July 17 to 19. The event also includes music workshops, children's activities, craft and food vendors. Weekend passes can be purchased here for $120, and more details on the festival can be found on its website.

Vancouver's Buttless Chaps were to have appeared at the fest, but broke up before making it to the Yukon. Lineup additions will be announced every Monday on CBC Radio North's afternoon show.
