Stars and Thunder is back to help celebrate St. Jean Baptiste Day!

Last week it was announced that the headliner for the first day of the festival had changed.

Because Eric Lapointe has laryngitis, his good friend and fellow judge from La Voix, Marc Dupre, will be taking to the stage tonight instead.

Here's what the schedule looks like:

1 p.m. Gates open

1:30 p.m. Carole Champagne

3 p.m. Celeste Levis

4:45 p.m. LGS - Le Groupe Swing 

6:30 p.m. Roch Voisine 

8:30 p.m. Marc Dupre

10:45 p.m. Fireworks by Team Brazil 

Tickets for today's show are $90. They can be bought online here or at the gate, where they'll be able to take cash, credit or debit.
