Listen up rock and roll lovers, the time is finally here, Rock The Lake is just two short weeks away!

Now if you’re like me, you’ve been counting down the hours since Trooper hit their final notes, and closed out the inaugural year last August, so that first sentence isn’t news to you.

If you were lucky enough to snag weekend passes for this weekend of Canadian rock magic then get ready because it seems that year two is shaping up to be even bigger and badder than last year.

Toronto will be lookin’ for trouble as they kick things off, and you’ll be crying over Platinum Blonde. April Wine will have you feeling like Friday night is a wonderful night to fall in love with their music all over again, as they close out day one.

In the words of Doug and the Slugs, it’ll be too bad for you if you’re missing out on their day two opening set. Sass Jordan will make you believers, while Rik Emmett transfixes you with the magic power of music before Kim Mitchell’s set turns into a wild Party.

Getting to see Carole Pope instead of hanging at home on Sunday afternoon isn’t much of a rough trade as she opens day three. Helix will rock you before Chilliwack will have you wondering what you’re gonna do when Rock the Lake is gone. Finally, you’ll come face to face with Honeymoon suite before kissing goodbye one of the best weekends of summer.

If you couldn't tell by the copious amount of puns thrown into this story, I’m more than ready to Rock the Lake, and we hope you are to!

If you missed out on tickets, you may just be in luck as KelownaNow is giving away two weekend VIP passes, and you have until August 9th to enter. Click here, to read more about how to win.
