Taking place on August 19th and August 20th, Ambleside Music Festival will once again welcome music lovers to Ambleside Park for a summer party with a weekend packed with live music from a mix of local talent and internationally celebrated artists, including rock n’ roll juggernaut headliners Weezer and Third Eye Blind.

Boasting an impressive roster of talent, this year’s festival promises a diverse lineup of indie rock royalty. Hot off the heels of their seventh studio album Dandelion, Vancouver-natives Said the Whale will bring their authentic West Coast tunes to Ambleside. Other acts include Canadian guitarist Bahamas and Juno award-winning hip-hop collective Bran Van 3000, with more bands to be announced over the coming weeks. Alongside Billboard Award winners Third Eye Blind, industry veterans Weezer will be headlining the festival. Whether attendees are longtime fans of their infamous Blue Album or their latest multi-album music project, SZNZ, fans won’t be disappointed.

Joining Weezer, Third Eye Blind, Bahamas, Bran Van 3000, and Said the Whale, Los Angeles indie pop band Saint Motel will return to Vancouver for the first time since 2016 to play at Ambleside Music Festival this summer. Fresh off the latest EP, “90s American Superstar”, singer-songwriter and indie pop sensation Wallice has also been added, alongside Juno award-winning Canadian rock superstars Finger Eleven to amp up the nostalgia. With these three additional bands joining the lineup, Ambleside Music Festival is officially setting the stage as the most iconic outdoor music festival in B.C this summer.

Ramping up the excitement this year alongside official media sponsor, SONiC radio, concert-goers can also expect great local retailers, live music, and impressive food & beverage options from local food trucks, craft beer, wine tastings, and more, including community activations, focused on giving back to the West Vancouver neighbourhood that has embraced the festival over the years.

VIP perks include exclusive food and beverage offerings, private bar service, and one free drink ticket per day (standard drinks only). VIP access will also include separate and early entry into the festival along with exclusive amenities such as private VIP washrooms, sitting areas, elevated tables, and tent access, offering direct sightlines to the main stage.
