Keloha 2013
May 10, 2013 / 8:29 am
Keloha has announced their line up for 2013. Today we feature an interactive audio interview with Scott Emslie, founder of Wet Ape productions and producer of Keloha and Center of Gravity.
Step one: Before we go any further take a moment to go to www.keloha.com and get your tickets for this amazing festival. Keloha will be held in Waterfront Park, in Kelowna and is a three-day, all ages festival featuring two stages, art installations, an exhibitor’s village, beverage gardens, and an impressive lineup packed to the brim with some of the hottest names in alternative/indie music today.
The 2013 KELOHA lineup will feature MGMT, Matt & Kim, Mutemath, Capital Cities, Atlas Genius, The Trews, Arkells, Cults, Tanlines, Current Swell, Shad, Yukon Blonde, The Zolas, The Boom Booms, and many more. Full line-up and artist info is available at www.keloha.com.
Step two: So now that you have your tickets to an amazing sampling of talent you've both heard of and will be introduced to take 10 minutes to listen to what it takes to put something of this scope together. Some great info in here. I was utterly blown away by the desire to use this festival to feature the best that Kelowna has to offer.

About Wet Ape Productions:
Scott Emslie founded Wet Ape in 2007. With a background as a professional volleyball player, Scott decided to produce a large beach volleyball event called “VolleyFest” (2007). The event was a success and Scott and his team were hooked on the thrill of creating cool new events. Since 2007 the team hasn’t looked back and Wet Ape is the proud owner of Canada's hottest beach festival, Center of Gravity, which draws 25,000 - 30,000 guests a year, and the Keloha Music and Arts Festival. Wet Ape produces large-scale arena shows with some of the biggest names in electronic dance music including Deadmau5, Calvin Harris, and Tiësto.
Next week I have an exclusive interview lined up with Scott Emslie talking about this festival and Keloha. Here's a sneak peak of what's to come.
