The festival, held July 16-19 north of Whistler, announced its lineup Wednesday morning, on April Fool’s Day, leading fans to suspect the announcement may have been a joke after weeks of anticipation and hints being dropped on social media.
“We might be announcing our lineup on April Fool’s Day, but we aren’t joking around,” HUKA Entertainment co-founder A.J. Niland said in a press release. “The lineup is exceptionally deep and each and every day will be full of surprises and special moments to match the magic of our beautiful Pemberton Valley festival site. It’s always a bit of a battle as a small indie promoter to get the acts you want, but we worked extra hard this year to make sure we’re bringing the best to B.C.”
Other notable performers include Vancouver favourites Dan Mangan + Blacksmith and rising star Tobias Jesso Jr.
Electronic dance music is once again a big component at the festival, with big EDM names like Bassnectar and the Full Flex Express featuring Jack U, the project of electronic superstars Skrillex and Diplo, also in the mix.
Rounding out the event are a gaggle of comedians including Tim & Eric, Cheech & Chong, Reggie Watts and Doug Benson.
Tickets for the festival go on sale Friday, April 3 at pembertonmusicfestival.com.
