At a wildly successful party in Vancouver, jean shorts-clad Ponderosa Festival founders Kris
Hargrave and Kia Zahrabi announced the full lineup for its 2015 installment. This year, headlining acts include Mounties, The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer , Bear Mountain , Top Less Gay Love Tekno Party , and Fake Shark Real Zombie , all hailing from Vancouver. Joining from Washington, DC, are funk-fusion gurus Fort Knox Five , and after a performance that left the crowd reeling at last year’s festival, Gay Nineties will return.

Other acts include an array of DJs, indie rock bands, electronic acts, and more, from all over the map, including: Pumpkin, Honey Beard, Rhoneil, SAVVIE, cAthedrAls, Jaguar, Cam Penner, Tiger Moon, El Garzita, Kandle & The Krooks, High Ends, Harold Nix, Giraffe Aftermath, Lio, and Catlow. Performances will be spread over three days and two stages.

Ponderosa is not your typical festival. It remains proudly independent, affordable, and fresh as heck. Early bird three-day passes are sold out! Full price tickets are still available for only $125, and include music all weekend, camping in the pristine setting of Rock Creek with access to swimming in the Kettle River, fresh running water, hot showers, morning yoga, pancake breakfast, and food and artist vendors. For $25 more, festival goers can secure riverside camping, where the river will be bubbling at your back door. Traditional tenting isn’t your thing? Glamping option are also available this year.
