A prominent Newfoundland concert promoter is hinting at a "major marquee event" in Paradise this summer.

David Carver, who's brought acts such as Tom Petty and Steve Miller to perform in St. John's, has entered into an agreement with the town of Paradise to promote its new space at Paradise Park.

According to a press release sent by the promoter on Friday, David Carver has already "piqued the interest of the entertainment industry."

"A major marquee event is in the works that will focus on a new festival format for Newfoundland music fans," the press release read.

Paradise Mayor Dan Bobbett says he's excited to see what the promoter will bring to his town.

"Mr. Carver is fully focused on the benefit to local businesses and residents, which is perfectly aligned with the Town's community and economic priorities," he said in a press release.
