"From The Beach Boys and Led Zeppelin to U2 and Adele, we're going to take the audience through half a century of iconic rock'n'roll with the Monster Rock Orchestra designed especially for the Mississauga Waterfront Festival," said composer Vikas Kohli, who will be teaming up with tech guru Joe Natale to marry the musical performance with the technology. Kohli adds, "What makes this exciting is that no one has ever dared do this before. This is going to be massive."

The two free concerts are scheduled to start at 9PM on Friday and Saturday, June 15th and 15th. But three hours before that, at 6PM, there will be music each evening from two opening bands designed to get things going. Then Kohli's assembly of musicians will perform hit songs from each decade of rock. Synchronized with the music will be an amazing backdrop of images formed by a water screen and choreographed along with the latest in laser show technology.

Voted one of Ontario's Top 100 Festivals nine years in a row, the Mississauga Waterfront Festival (MWF) presents the best in Canadian and International talent while raising funds for charities and sponsoring children from low income families. This year the festival introduces free admission, achievement awards, renowned culinary talent, an interactive sandbox artist, mad scientists, extreme sports, and Father's Day tributes that will make any dad's heart melt. Past performers include Sam Roberts, Jann Arden, Tom Cochrane, Chantel Kreviazuk, Colin James, Kathleen Edwards, Suzie McNeill and Bruce Cockburn.

The Waterfront Festival is held at Port Credit Memorial Park and is free to the public
