This will be the second year for the festival on Quidi Vidi Lake.

Iceberg Alley event manager Seamus O'Keefe said the 10-night festival needs to appeal to as many people as possible, sothe line-up features a wide range of artists.

"People have different music tastes and genres that they look for, and there's not enough money in this economy to go 10 nights straight, so we try to find those artists that are selective and that will sell tickets," said O'Keefe.

"We range from Dallas Smith, a country-western songwriter, to our traditional night of Alan Doyle, Shanneyganock and Celtic Connection, through to other hip-hop and punk artists. I think we reflect the taste of what people are looking for."
