There's more to alpine mecca Whistler than just year-round outdoor sports and packed ski slopes, there are increasing opportunities to see incredible live music.

This weekend the inaugural Whistler Music Festival will showcase outdoor performances by The Roots, Broken Social Scene, Elvis Costello and many others on July 19-20, 2008. If you can afford a weekend getaway, this might be a great way to get away.

Summer sizzles in the resort as the inaugural Whistler Music Festival brings in an impressive and eclectic roster of musicians for two spectacular days of music and fun in the great outdoors. Set to be one of the hottest music events of the summer, the Whistler Music Festival features a high-calibre line up of artists performing amidst the spectacular scenery of Base II’s Tube Park on Blackcomb Mountain.

Including Elvis Costello & the Imposters, Medeski, Martin & Wood, Bedouin Soundclash, Broken Social Scene, The Roots

Broken Social Scene guitarist Jason Collett is also playing the Vancouver Music Folk Festival! Which is also on the 19-20...how's he going to manage that?
