Where The Hell Is Pemberton?
The biggest concert in years should have been close to Vancouver… but if you can find your way to Pemberton somewhere north of Whistler, you’ll be in BC’s hot spot this weekend.
Once you get over your lost luggage, long hikes and general transportation confusion (did the folk festival organizers help out here?), it’s the concert of the year.
Concert promoters Live Nation Canada suffered from first year pains - but booking Nine Inch Nails, the Tragically Hip, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and Coldplay will make it memorable.
Why Jay-Z was invited is unclear… not too many hip hop fans there, or wanted.
The 40,000 fans arrived in potato land where the concert aims to become mostly sustainable in the years ahead - if it’s a success. The plan is to have all produce and meat is coming from Pemberton farmers. By the sounds of it, the pot industry should also find new opportunities.
Three-day passes are $259.50, single-day tickets are $149.50 plus service charges at pembertonfestival.com
if you can find a way to get there.
