Organizers were happy with the lineup.
"We might be announcing our lineup on April Fool's Day, but we aren't joking around," says HUKA Entertainment co-founder A.J. Niland.
"The lineup is exceptionally deep and each and every day will be full of surprises and special moments to match the magic of our beautiful Pemberton Valley festival site. It's always a bit of a battle as a small indie promoter to get the acts you want, but we worked extra hard this year to make sure we're bringing the best to B.C."
