The Pemberton Music Festival line-up has been released and 2016 will not disappoint festival goers as some major acts have been announced.

Headlining the festival this year will be Pearl Jam along with Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Kaskade, and J. Cole. There will be something for everyone at this year’s four day event as more than 70 artists have been announced. From the Arkells to Cypress Hill to Die Antwoord, every genre will be covered at the popular music festival. The event runs July 14 to 17, 2016.

There will also be comedy acts this year at the festival and the line-up for this year has also been announced. Headlining will be Cheech and Chong and Craig Robinson and the Nasty Delicious.

“We are incredibly excited to announce the lineup for 2016,” said A.J. Niland, Chairman and CXO of Huka Entertainment. “The lineup carries on our tradition of diversity and depth so there is something for everyone. We have been working hard making improvements and expanding the experience - more space, better camping, more art, and bigger production. We can’t wait to welcome the best artists and the best fans to the most beautiful festival in North America.”

Tickets for the festival are expected to sell out fast and go on sale Fri., April 8 at 10 am. Early bird tickets have already sold out for the festival and only a limited supply of advance general admission tickets will be available on Friday.

Tickets for the 2016 festival start at $295, plus a choice of either a camping pass (which accommodates up to four people) at $199 or shuttle pass (for festival patrons staying in nearby Whistler) at $99. For campers who choose to drive, parking passes are available at $29 per car.

Pemberton Music Festival is a four-day contemporary music festival in British Columbia’s scenic Pemberton Valley, near the foot of majestic Mt. Currie. Produced and promoted by Huka Entertainment, in collaboration with the Village of Pemberton and land partners Sunstone Group, Lil’wat Nation and Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, the festival turns Pemberton Valley, located less than thirty minutes from Whistler, BC, into a premiere musical playground.

Last year’s event drew more than 115,000 fans and featured nearly 120 performances by 113 artists over four days. In addition, the festival donated over $100,000 in grants to arts organizations in the Pemberton community.

Full ticketing details and prices, including Regular General Admission, VIP and Super VIP packages, are now available at www.pembertonmusicfestival.com.
