"Jay-Z has been tapped to headline the first ever Pemberton Festival in British Columbia this July. According toBillboard, Hov will co-headline the event along with Coldplay, Nine Inch Nails, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The festival will take place in Pemberton, B.C. which is about two hours from Vancouver by car and is near the famous Whistler ski resort. The three day event will feature a festival village, camping facilities, an RV Park, and over 50 bands performing on two stages. Tickets go on sale on Friday March 28 and the festival runs from July 25-27." (From XXLmag.com)

Am I the last person on earth to hear about this Pemberton Festival?

Tickets go on sale on March 28 at www.pembertonfestival.com looks pretty nuts....they are expecting 37,000 people...don't know how that is going to be possible considering the town is about 2000 people with very little public services.

A friend of mine said they tried to have an Air Show in the late 90's that got 4000 people and the town could not cope

Because Pemberton has a lot of big fields in the middle of nowhere where you can make as much noise as you want and have 30'000 people park their cars, get wasted and camp out.

Try pulling that off in Whistler. Just parking that many cars in the whole city is impossible.

"The festival is produced by Live Nation and Good Boy Productions"

live nation? sounds pretty nate-dog to me... might be wrong though but I wouldn't be surprised if Mt. Currie nation was getting something out of this.

Ahh, that makes sense. What a nutty idea. What motivation would people have to hold an event like this in a place like that, though?

^ it has to be on the reserve. it is so easy to throw events like this on a native reserve, way less hoops to jump through

This is during crankworks? Shit that place is gonna be packed!

And Live Nation is a site that sells tickets to basically everything, not a first nations group.
