Pemberton : July 25 - 27

I was thinking about previous music festivals that I have been to and I wanted to make not of this one. This is the reason for going so far back into to document something that has happened 3 years ago almost to the date. Pemberton was my very fist huge music festival that wasn't electronica based.

This was the camping posse.


The Zeppelin Cover band



At the Dance tent there were tonnes of great DJs but there was a small malfunction at this stage with how many people that were at Pemberton the capacity for this stage was only 2500 and there were 40,000. So when they started playing (Led Zeppelin Cover Band) the fence was broken down and thousands of people rushed the stage.
