Remember when the 2008 lineup came out and it was just straight out of nowhere? Like nobody had any idea that there was going to be this huge festival in BC, then one day there was a lineup and all the info was readily available.
It's almost as if HUKA decided to just do everything backwards this time. The on-site experience will be amazing...but everything leading up to it will be absolute dogshit.

I'm listening to 99.3 the Fox Vancouver all day (online) to hear the Pemberton lineup, and the guy just mentioned it for the first time in probably 4 or 5 hours and said "we have no new information, but we do know that the organizers will be on with (Random Host name) at 6pm, so we don't know if the announcement will be before then, or at that time". Has anyone else been listening to this? Have there been any mentions as to whether or not this is still going to happen?

Gabfrab is online, perhaps he will share with us some Pemberton insights.

I feel like at this point there's no way the lineup won't disappoint. They're like the festival equivalent of a deadbeat. "Give us a month...just one more month...ten days, i swear...just gimme til the end of the day, i'm good for it..."

Is it too early to start looking for a giant -1 picture to post on their facebook at midnight?

Amazing idea. Maybe I'll start with a giant fucking zero.

If this is in any way true, I've got to believe this festival is totally fucked...
From Facebook - "I work in the BC events industry - Huka still hasn't signed many of their bands - and are throwing money at people to try to get them to play Pemberton, and people will not sign due to the logistical nightmare of producing a festival there, and better offers down the road.... Live Nation lost over a million dollars in 2008 producing "Pemberton Festival". "Pemberton Music Festival" is trying to ride Live Nation's coat tails and reproduce a logistically flawed event. Many production suppliers in BC have not even been contacted regarding any equipment and festival infrastructure. Land permit applications have not even been approved either...."

I'm all over this right now. It's very funny to me.
It's pretty clear the the festival scene is totally over-saturated now, and these companies are still out to cash in. Give it 5 years and I bet you a lot of these fests start to fold. The "golden era" where any random asshole could curate a festival is drawing to a close.
