On top of that, to have Sloan and The Trews, two of the Jubilee’s most popular headliners over the past 15 years, return to our stage and Haywire, one of the most successful east coast bands ever, reuniting to play the festival should be a real treat for all those 80's kids who followed the group during their incredible run.
