WHISTLER, BC, July 31, 2008 – The
music lineup for Kokanee Crankworx is confirmed and includes some of the
hottest up-and-coming indie artists in Canada. The festival is known for its
high action mountain biking events, but there has always been a great music
presence and this year will prove even better.
“The Kokanee
Crankworx experience is pretty awe inspiring. It takes a serious band to
compete with the high-energy environment that is created in competition,” says
Tyl Von Toorn, Kokanee Crankworx Director of Music Programming. “We are proud
to say we have been able to bring more than 20 artists to fit that bill.”
There will be two
main shows a day throughout the festival, as well as the Kokanee Aftershock
parties taking place at local bars and restaurants throughout the village. With
the TELUS MainStage located at the base of the Whistler Mountain Bike Park, in
the middle of Skiers Plaza, spectators will have the best of both worlds; live
action and live music.
The artist line
up for this year’s TELUS Concert Series includes: Whistler regular K’NAAN, the
Woodhands, Shout Out Out Out Out, Redeye Empire, Blue King Brown, Vince
Vaccaro, Flash Lightnin, Five Alarm Funk, Mr. Something Something, Mother
Mother, Plants and Animals, Small Sins, Josh Martinez, Hot Little Rockets, Dana
D & the South Rakkas Crew, DJ Science and the always entertaining freestyle
skills of Supernatural.
“There’s nothing
like Kokanee Crankworx,” says Jeremy Roche GM of Kokanee Crankworx. “It’s a
celebration of everything that’s great about Whistler, from the gravity-defying
trails to the passionate people who live and play here.”
Over the past years,
Kokanee Crankworx has continued its evolution to becoming one of the world’s
signature mountain lifestyle festivals. Mixing mountain bike action, village
expos, demos and the stellar lineup of music talent will further cement Kokanee
Crankworx as the summer festival to attend.
