Canadian country-pop star Shania Twain has added a third show in St. John's at the Churchill Park Music Festival, according to her social media pages.

Twain is the headliner of this year's edition of the festival, and now has shows scheduled from Aug.16-18.

Tickets for the third show will go on sale at noon NT on Saturday, according to Twain's social media.

General admission tickets for her first two shows went on sale at noon NT on Thursday. The festival posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that tickets were sold out two hours later.

Festival organizer Pete Quinton told CBC News in March that Twain will come to St. John's in between two legs of a Las Vegas residency, meaning the festival will likely be her only shows in Canada this summer — and possibly this year.

Other artists performing at this year's festival include Alan Doyle, Lindsay Ell and Talk.
