OLP NYE concert officially announced
The city of Brampton has officially released the details for the New Year's Eve concert. Fireworks will be at 9PM followed by local performances, Johnathan Gallivan, David Usher, and finally OLP. The night will end with a countdown and light show atop the Rose Theatre.
This will be an outdoor concert, so dress warm. There will be some sort of wristband requirement for viewing the main stage...I will post more details on that as I find out about them. Also be aware that parking downtown will be severely limited. The city is offering 4 free shuttles into town from various locations. Keep checking for updates.
And the title is...
Escape Artist. Jeremy posted an update revealing the title of OLP's forthcoming album on his Facebook page earlier today.
The official announcement of the 12/31 Brampton concert will be this Friday, though olp.cc may have information earlier.
