Aerosmith and Bryan Adams have been announced as the biggest names at Big Music Fest, which takes place in Kitchener this summer.

A partial lineup for the three-day festival was revealed Tuesday.

The event kicks off Friday, July 11, with what organizers called a Canada-wide “battle of the bands” competition.

Acts taking the stage July 12 will include Bryan Adams, Styx, Collective Soul and Moist.

Wrapping up the festival July 13 are musicians including Aerosmith, Slash, Big Wreck, Kim Mitchell and Pigeon Park.

More acts are still to be announced, organizers say, along with information on parking and transportation options.
