The Tragically Hip are among the artists who will rock the stage when the Rock The Park festival returns to London, Ont., this summer.

The event’s sixth installment, to take place at Harris Park, will feature the Kingston band as the headlining act on July 23.

Big & Rich will top the bill the following night with guests Cowboy Troy, Aaron Pritchett and Shane Yellowbird.

The Doobie Brothers will headline the show on July 25, with guests Creedence Clearwater Revisited.

More performers will be announced shortly; check out the festival’s website here for updates.

Tickets go on sale today (Saturday) through the website, London’s Centennial Hall box office and by phone.

Rock The Park 2008 featured such performers as Sammy Hagar, Joan Jett, and Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings of legendary Canadian group The Guess Who.
