Wow... that's rather impressive, like a nascent Canadian Coachella. Sweet.

Every year I promise myself I will make it down to Indio but as yet I haven't.

Rumour has it Iron Maiden is coming on June 3rd!

If the Pemberton Festival even remotely compares to England's Glastonbury Festival -- as has been alluded to by local media -- this is a huge coup for British Columbia music fans, and could be the start of an amazing summer concert tradition.

I love the location and the ambition -- and this year's line-up is nothing to sniff at.

worldwide · #49 Posted **Mar 14, 2008, 7:13 PM**

its too bad we dont get more good shows. a lot of acts go to seattle but dont bother coming a few hours north to Vancouver. i only saw a couple acts that i would want to go to. the most likely one would be atmosphere, but even that is iffy. it will probably be a pretty scenester show

Looks to be more on par with the Sasquatch Festival, wouldn't you say?

towerguy3 · #51 Posted **Mar 14, 2008, 8:48 PM**

One of the reasons many American bands apparently don't like coming here is because U.S. based artists have to pay extra taxes to perform in Canada. I heard someone say promoters have to pay thousands extra in taxes. For a major concert where they can sell out the GM place this may not be an issue, but it is for garage bands. Any more info on this?

worldwide · #52 Posted **Mar 14, 2008, 9:12 PM**

why dont you ask the guy in the orange vest?

With regards to the Pemberton Festival, perhaps it's time this part of the province get an outdoor music venue on the same scale as the Gorge in Washington State. (which hosts the Sasquatch Festival).

A few years ago, Bruce Allen was looking into something like this (for Richmond or Surrey, I believe), but it fell through.

SpongeG · #57 Posted **Mar 19, 2008, 3:07 AM**

yeah thunderbird stadium seems to be the place for out door concerts if they venture this way

but deer lake has done some good shows

Rusty Gull · #58 Posted **Mar 19, 2008, 4:29 AM**

^But wouldn't be it great to have an inspired, open-air music venue set against mountains or ocean, ala The Gorge, with lots of parking and camping and tail-gating nearby?

MistyMountainHop · #59 Posted **Mar 21, 2008, 9:05 PM**

Deer Lake Park is incredible, but it only holds about 10,000. The Arcade Fire show there last May was just magical.
