Wow. My called my friend yesterday and the first thing he was talking about was this festival out in Pemberton. I hadn’t heard anything about it so I wasn’t in the know. However, after an evening out, I returned home and the entire Interweb and their dogs were all about the Pemberton Festival. I had to check it out to see what was so special about it. My friend had already told me the brief details about it; it was a 3-day festival being held in Pemberton in July, not unlike the Sasquatch Festival. Headliners were to include Coldplay, Jay-Z, Metric, and Interpol, among others. It wasn’t until I visited the website that I saw the full potential of the festival.

Besides the aforementioned acts, also appearing at the first-ever Pemberton Festival are Tom Petty, Nine Inch Nails, The Tragically Hip, The Flaming Lips, Death Cab For Cutie, My Morning Jacket, Sam Roberts Band, Vampire Weekend, Black Mountain, Wintersleep, Buck 65, Sia, Brazilian Girls, and many others. That’s a pretty damn good lineup. I am definitely going to this thing. Tickets are $239.50 for the entire 3-day event and go on sale March 28th. Hope to see you there!
