(May 13th, 2016 – LOS ANGELES) – Maritime music and concert fans, did you think we forgot about you? Hell
NO! The epic summer concert event ATLANTICFEST 2016 will touch down in the Maritimes this summer.
The already announced Paradise Newfoundland date on September 3rd has social media buzzing with excitement and
anticipation over the incredible line-up of talent. Now David Carver Music has announced a second date for Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island music fans, and of course for any fans who want to come out east to
Atlantic Canada and join the party with the most passionate concert fans in the country.
With her massive ‘Revival’ world tour in full gear, a second AtlanticFest 2016 concert has been confirmed, headlined
by the multitalented, global sensation, chart topping and 45 Million track selling SELENA GOMEZ. Making her
mark in entertainment by conquering film, music and television, this May Selena Gomez embarks on a world-wide tour
supporting her recently released, critically acclaimed album “Revival.” The first three singles off the album, “Good For
You,” Same Old Love” and “Hands To Myself” all went to number one on the US Top 40 chart.
Special guest, American Top 40 chart topper and massively talented and successful FLO RIDA will also appear at the
Maritime AtlanticFest 2016 date. Having sold over 60 Million singles worldwide, equally important is Flo Rida’s
success in breaking down barriers by uniting millions of fans of pop, hip-hop, and club music around the world while
establishing himself as an international, genre-busting superstar in the process. Flo’s latest single “My House” has been
on the American Top 40 for weeks, including the # 1 single in North America, but it is Flo Rida’s live show and his
party friendly anthems that whip every audience into a musical frenzy that is Flo Rida’s true legacy.
The Maritime date includes platinum-selling group DNCE. Formed in 2015, DNCE first introduced themselves to
audiences worldwide with the release of their debut single “Cake By The Ocean,” and have since gone on to become
one of 2016’s most buzzworthy acts. A top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, “Cake By The Ocean” is now
certified platinum and has entered the top 3 on the Pop Songs radio chart and climbing. Assembled by frontman Joe
Jonas, bandmates include bassist & keyboardist Cole Whittle, South Korean bred guitarist JinJoo, and drummer Jack
Lawless, who has previously joined the Jonas Brothers, Night Terrors of 1927 and Soft Swells on the road. Next up,
DNCE will be the opening act for multi-platinum singer and actress Selena Gomez’ 2016“Revival Tour” this summer.
Maritimers will also experience Canadian and North American superstar SHAWN HOOK. Shawn’s latest single
“Sound of Your Heart” is building momentum in Canada and the U.S. The track has now accumulated over 17 million
streams on Spotify worldwide. It is currently the # 26 track the Top 40 in the US and has been added at over 100+ US
CHR radio stations. Prior to the US release of the song, it charted in Canada on multiple radio formats including a Top
10 on CHR, Top 10 on Hot AC, and Top 15 on AC radio.
Rising superstar FRANCESCO YATES completes the marquee line for AtlanticFest 2016 dates. Francesco is only 20
years old but he’s already received the highest possible recommendation a musical artist could. “He’s absolutely gonna
be just a huge, huge, huge pop star,” Pharrell Williams has said of the Toronto native. “But not in the way people have
been thinking of pop music in the past ten years.” It’s a lot to live up to, but Francesco does, both in his song writing
and his impressively evocative musicianship. While working on his debut album, his EP has flooded radio with hit
singles including “Call,” “Change The Channel,” and “Honey I’m Home.” Working with producers like Robin
Hannibal (Kendrick Lamar, B.o.B) and Pharrell in various studios around Los Angeles, the singer has hit upon a deft
combination of pop, R&B and soul, bolstered by emotionally poignant lyrics and a strikingly passionate vocal delivery.
