It’s that time again for one of my favourite events of the year – the world’s largest wakeboard festival, the Wakestock World Series! This weekend long festival takes place July 24-27. The 2008 band lineup has been finally released, and as of right now includes:
Friday July 25
CAVALERA CONSPIRACY
DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN
THROWDOWN
AGE OF DAZE
KATLEEN TURNER OVERDRIVE
FAREWELL TO FREEWAY
DEAD AND DIVINE
Saturday July 26

HOT WATER MUSIC
SILVERSTEIN

REBEL EMERGENCY + More TBA
Sunday July 27
METRIC

DRAGONETTE
LIGHTS
CRASH PARALLEL
SHAWN HEWITT + More TBA
Included with the live music of these bands is the wake boarding talent of the world in the WWA World Series competition, the Billabong pro railslide competition, the oakley launch pool, pro skate demos as well as the Island of the Ams contest, discounted merch tables, pro freestyle moto-x, and the famous bud light bikini contest. There are also several after-parties thrown in the heart of downtown Toronto. The early bird cost of a weekend pass costs $49.50. After June 22nd however the cost rises, with each individual day costing similiar to the original early bird cost of the entire weekend.
I think last years line-up was a hell of a lot better.
