Coldplay and Jay-Z are about to put Pemberton, B.C on the map.

Some of music’s biggest acts will take over the small British Columbian village in July for the first-ever Pemberton Festival.

The event will not only feature Chris Martin’s Coldplay and hip-hop’s CEO Jay-Z, but Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Nine Inch Nails, Death Cab for Cutie, Interpol and The Flaming Lips are also set to perform.

Canadians taking the stage will be The Tragically Hip, Sam Roberts Band, Metric, Buck 65, MSTRKRFT and Wintersleep.

The venue will reportedly feature two stages, a dance tent and a “festival village”. Concert-goers can shuttle in from Whistler, camp out and even set up recreational vehicles on the picturesque site.

The festival runs from July 25-27 and tickets will go on sale March 28.
