Deposits are paid, contracts are signed, and both parties wait several months before for the booking becomes a reality.
“It was a really special opportunity,” said festival manager Mike Hann. “When we , we didn’t know at that point she was coming with Blake. The stars aligned. It was a really special moment to ignite the crowd like that, and have her walk on stage for a song or two. It was really special.” Stefani isn’t the only notable name on stage in Lake Cowichan this weekend. Metchosin rocker Jesse Roper and DJ Nu-Mark of Los Angeles hip-hop collective Jurassic 5 are the top attractions Friday, while legendary rapper Busta Rhymes and alt-rocker Grandson headline Saturday. Vancouver rapper BBNO$ will join Stefani at the top of the bill on Sunday.
One of the big features of the festival, which in recent years brought Snoop Dogg, Portugal the Man, Shaggy, Smash Mouth, Wu-Tang Clan, and Arkells to Lake Cowichan, is on-site camping, which gives Laketown Shakedown a leg up on its competitors. Hann said 10,000 are expected to attend this weekend festival, and because Vancouver Island ticket-buyers are known for being a last-minute bunch, organizers are preparing for impact.
