The Northern Pikes will be the headlining act for the Atlantic Nationals Automotive Extravaganza’s Friday Night Street Party on July 5, the City of Moncton announced Thursday.
The Northern Pikes are a Canadian band best known for such hits as “She Ain’t Pretty,” “When Your Hopes Go Astray”, “Girl With a Problem” and “Kiss Me You Fool.” The band is celebrating its 40th anniversary.
“We are eagerly anticipating the Friday night street party,” said Bill Doherty, chairperson of the Atlantic Nationals Automotive Extravaganza.

The car show continues Saturday and Sunday at Centennial Park.
