The event, hosted by Dan Aykroyd, was attended by over 450,000 people and portions were broadcast by CBC and MuchMoreMusic. The early afternoon portion of the show featured 9 bands (including the Lips) who each performed 15-20 minutes. The evening performances included Justin Timberlake, The Guess Who, Rush, AC/DC, and The Rolling Stones.
