PENTICTON — Macklemore & Ryan Lewis were announced today as headliners in The Boonstock festival in Penticton this August.

This is the first year Penticton is hosting Boonstock, the largest music festival in Western Canada. The festival was held in Sturgeon County, Alberta for the last several years, until their council banned the festival from returning.

The festival is taking place August 1-3 this year, also featuring Rise Against, Mother Mother, Awolnation, City and Colour and many others.

Advanced ticket sales start Friday, March 28. Single day, weekend, and camping passes can all be purchased online at boonstock.ca.
