Ontario's Riverfest Elora is officially returning for its 2018 edition, and to prove it, the festival has just revealed its 2018 lineup.

Taking place from August 17 to 19 at Bissell Park in Elora, ON, the lineup of 2018 artists is stacked, to say the least. Set to headline the 10th annual festival are the Flaming Lips, Carly Rae Jepsen, Blue Rodeo and July Talk.

Following close behind are the such acts as Wolf Parade, Dear Rouge, Bedouin Soundclash, Cuff the Duke, Julie & the Wrong Guys, New Swears, Born Ruffians, Donovan Woods, the Beaches, Rich Aucoin, the Flatliners, Weaves and Land of Talk, among many others.

This year, Riverfest also joins the Keychange initiative, which "is empowering women to transform the future of the music industry and encouraging festivals to achieve 50:50 gender balance by 2022." You can learn more about it here.
