Mumford & Sons, Drake and Sam Smith to headline Squamish Valley Music Festival

Gear up, Squamish – some big names are coming to town this summer!

The Squamish Valley Music Festival is rapidly making a name for itself as a marquee date for music fans, and 2015 welcomes the likes of British soul star Sam Smith, folk rockers Mumford and Sons, and Canadian rapper Drake. The three-day festival will take over the Logger Sports Grounds on August 7, 8 and 9. Tickets go on sale next week.

Squamish will mark the third time in less than a year that Sam Smith will perform in the Vancouver area. Within such a short time period and no new album set for release, fans will likely be treated to Smith’s existing (albeit very good) material that has rocketed him to stardom in the past year.

Conversely, those lining up to see Drake will get treated to new material on his recently-released album If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, which appeared on iTunes on February 13.

Eminem, Bruno Mars and the Arcade Fire headline 2014 Squamish Valley Music Festival

We might still be in the grips of winter, but music fans in the Pacific Northwest were treated to a huge treat as the lineup for this summer’s Squamish Valley Music Festival was announced yesterday. Headliners for 2014 include Bruno Mars, The Arcade Fire, and rap megastar Eminem. Other notable acts – and there are many of them – include the Arctic Monkeys, Serena Ryder, Foster the People, Sam Roberts Band and Tokyo Police Club.

The full lineup can be found at the festival’s website.

Three-day passes and single-day tickets will go on sale to the public next week.
