Lineup released for Kelowna’s Denim on the Diamond music festival

KELOWNA – Some Juno and Canadian Country Music Award recipients are taking part in a unique Kelowna music festival next summer.

James Barker Band is set to headline the Denim on the Diamond music festival at King Stadium in Kelowna on Saturday, Aug. 31, 2019, according to a media release. Artists perform live on stage in centre field of the King Stadium ball diamond.

Supporting acts include Madeline Merlo, Maple Blues, The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer and Leaving Thomas.

In 2018, the inaugural one-day festival hosted over 3,000 denim-wearing fans, the release states.

The organizers say in the release they chose the denim theme because "it is the universal fabric that stitches together genders, generations, cultures and all music genres – from country and hard rock to blues, alternative and everything in between."
