Last weekend, a small town of Pemberton, BC was host to one of the largest concerts in Canada’s history.

Over 40,000 people rocked out to the likes of Tom Petty, Coldplay, Jay-Z, and The Flaming Lips, along with over 100 other performers, at the first annual Pemberton Festival.

Myself and travel writer/host Robin Esrock were on the scene to capture the action.

Part I

Kicking off with a train ride on the Whistler Mountaineer, Robin Esrock (host of Word Travels) heads up to the first annual Pemberton Festival. Watch as Robin braves traffic woes, port ‘o toilets, and some excellent bands at BC’s largest rock concert ever. Part one features interviews with Grand Ole Party and Chromeo.

Part II

In Part Two, Robin interviews the bands Black Mountain, Low vs Diamond, and The Airborne Toxic Event. He also talks with music fans, panty vendors, asking what they liked the best and worst about the Pemberton Festival.
