Nicolina Bozzo, a Vaughan resident who finished in fourth place on the latest season of “American Idol” will headline the Vaughan Pizzafest music lineup.

The 19-year-old who has more than a quarter-million followers on TikTok will perform at North America’s largest pizza festival on Saturday, June 18.

Vaughan Pizzafest takes place from June 17 to 19 in an outdoor setting at the Improve Canada plaza at Keele Street and Steeles Avenue near Highway 407.

The Saturday evening also features Roberta Battaglia, the singing prodigy who placed fourth on “America’s Got Talent” in 2020 when she was only 10 years old.

Australian-Italian comic legend Joe Avati, who still holds the record for the fastest-selling comedy show in Canada when he sold out a show in Toronto in less than 10 minutes, will also be performing, as well as Canadian comic Lu Sicilianu Raggiatu.

The Saturday afternoon entertainment lineup will be headlined by Adassa, the voice of Dolores in the Golden Globe and Oscar-winning Disney smash hit “Encanto,” who will be performing hit songs from the film, including the iconic “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.” Adassa will also be meeting fans for an autograph meet-and-greet session.
