Already under stress, live-music venues took an often-fatal hit when the pandemic upended pretty much everyone and everything.

There was a time, however, when Waterloo Region offered up some happening venues, welcoming stellar acts.

The area’s music scene in the 1960s and ‘70s – the likes of Led Zeppelin, Neil Young and Frank Zappa –was captured in Rock This Town, the 2022 documentary. Now, a follow-up, Rock This Town: A New Wave, is set to premiere February 26 at the Princess Cinemas.
