FERGUS – Glass Tiger will headline the musical lineup for the Fergus Scottish Festival and Highland Games this summer.
“We are truly thrilled to have Glass Tiger at the festival this year,” executive director Elizabeth Bender stated in a June 7 announcement.

“It is fabulous that we are able to welcome them this year.”
Glass Tiger is a Grammy-nominated band from Newmarket that has sold over 1.3 million albums.
