Grab your friends and leave the world behind for a three-day celebration in Pemberton Valley full of dancing, food, friendship, and of course — the best music EVER! We're waiting for you... now let the adventure begin."
As anyone who was around in 2008 will attest to, festival traffic was a nightmare and a HUGE source of headache and missed shows for many.
According to the Vancouver Sun:
"Organizers HUKA Entertainment want to build on the lessons learned from the 2008 event featuring Jay Z and Coldplay that was cause for great celebration and the source of a lot of grief, and elevate the event and the Pemberton area to new heights.
The festival will be returning July 18-20 next year. Although no performers have yet been announced, festival organizers are promising a top-shelf roster of talent ranging from rock to pop to rap and electronic artists.
Niland said HUKA had studied the Live Nation event from 2008, which also included problems with garbage collection and insufficient portable washroom facilities.
Next year’s Pemberton Music Festival will feature consolidated camping with 25,000 spots available, ensuring there are no massive crowd movement during the festival, Niland explained.
An extensive shuttle service between Whistler and Pemberton will also ensure festivalgoers staying off-site will have easy access to the festival grounds, which will hold 35,000 people.
“The biggest thing everyone brings up is traffic,” Niland said.
“We’ve got a pretty solid plan put together,” Niland said. “We brought in some new traffic engineers and some folks who are really experienced in the festival world executing traffic as challenging as this. I won’t take all the credit because, frankly, the Olympics in 2010 did a great deal for the roads and the infrastructure in the area.”"
That last bit is a bit scary to hear, since the Olympics did nothing to improve the highway north of Whistler, but hopefully these guys have their act together.
33MAG will be there, that's for sure though!
