Live Nation, the world’s largest live music company, and Good Boy Productions announced today the line-up for the first-ever Pemberton Festival, to be held July 25, 26 & 27 in one of North America’s most breathtakingly beautiful settings, Pemberton, British Columbia. The festival represents the first European-style festival Live Nation has started from scratch.

The Pemberton inaugural lineup includes big names such as Coldplay, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Nine Inch Nails, Jay-Z,  The Tragically Hip, Interpol, Death Cab For Cutie, My Morning Jacket and Flaming Lips, plus up and comers Vampire Weekend, MGMT, Grand Ole Party and The Airborne Toxic Event. There are two stages and a dance tent with more than 50 bands in all over the three day festival.

Pemberton, a two-hour drive from Vancouver, has long been a favorite winter vacation destination due to its close proximity to Whistler Resort (where many of the 2010 Winter Olympic events will take place).  Complete with a festival village, camping facilities, an RV Park, tickets for the Pemberton Festival are on sale now through www.PembertonFestival.com 

Concert-goers will be able to camp on site or sleep in accommodations ranging from motels to top notch luxury hotels in Whistler.
