A new summer music festival is landing in Edmonton, with a lineup that leans heavily into pop and nostalgia.
OEG Sports & Entertainment has announced the first-ever Neon Skies Music Festival, set for July 17 and 18 at Fan Park in ICE District. The two-night event brings together artists whose combined reach tops 107 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
Each night has its own focus. Friday leans into a more reflective pop sound, while Saturday shifts toward high-energy performances.
The opening night features Conan Gray as the headliner, joined by Myles Smith and Natasha Bedingfield. Gray continues to build momentum with his latest album Wishbone, a 12-track project produced by Dan Nigro. He first gained wide attention with Kid Krow and the hit “Heather,” and now counts more than 12 billion streams globally.
Myles Smith, known for the billion-stream track “Stargazing,” is also on the bill, alongside Bedingfield, whose song “Unwritten” has found new life online and recently reached No. 20 on the Billboard Global 200.
Saturday night shifts tone with Kesha at the top of the lineup. The pop artist has logged 10 Top 10 singles and two No. 1 albums, and her recent release Gag Order earned strong critical response. She is joined by Slayyyter, who has built a following since emerging on SoundCloud in 2018, and Heidi Montag, returning to music with new material after her earlier pop releases.
Tickets go on pre-sale April 1 at 10:00 AM MT, with general sales opening April 8 at the same time through Ticketmaster. Options include single-day starting at $129.95 and weekend passes, with both general admission and VIP tiers available. The event is open to all ages.
