[1] Since 2016, Rock the Park has teamed up with the following charities: Big Brothers Big Sisters of London and Area, Make-A-Wish Southwestern Ontario and Children's Health Foundation, while also supporting Western Mustangs Football.

In 2023, they again rebranded to RBC Rock the Park to reflect their partnership with Royal Bank of Canada.

Due to the success of the first concert, this second one was expanded to four days, during which over 40,000 Rock fans attended.

Subsequently, all of Boston's plans for touring, including Hawk Rocks the Park, were cancelled.

This marked the first time Rock the Park was not fully put on by The Hawk.

A new event, the Gone Country Music Festival, sponsored by radio station BX93, was held at Harris Park on Wednesday, July 23, 2014.

As a result, the headline act, Pitbull, opened the show, followed by T-Pain and finally Flo Rida.

[8] On June 26, 2024, organizers announced that Bryan Adams would be replacing Neil Young with Crazy Horse, due to the latter's cancellation of the remaining dates in their concert tour.
