Excitement is growing in Omemee, a Kawartha Lakes community of about 1,200, as rumours continue to spread about the secret location of Zoomer legend Neil Young’s acoustic concert Friday night..

Earlier this month Young teased that he would be “going to my town” for the concert, sparking speculation that he might be heading to Omemee, where he lived for a few years as a child.

Local media report the streets around the town’s “Coronation Hall” are closed and large transport trucks marked as “sound and light staging” are parked near the venue.  The show is to be live-streamed around the world and coincides with the release of Young’s new album, “The Visitor” and a new online archive of his work.
