From Beach Boys and Led Zeppelin to U2 and Adele, the Main Stage entertainment will take the audience through half a century of iconic rock’n’roll with the Monster Rock Orchestra and a massive water laser show designed specifically for the Mississauga Waterfront Festival.  An experience no one has ever seen or heard before. This assembly of over a dozen rock and symphony musicians will crank out the most popular songs from each decade on the evenings of Friday, June 15 and Saturday, June 16 while an amazing spectacle of images formed in water will be choreographed along with the latest in laser technology.  Instead of one headliner per evening, it will represent more than a dozen headliners!
