The empty and overgrown with brush Active Mountain festival grounds in July. Permits are now in place for the Electric Mountain Music Festival to go ahead the Labour Day long weekend.

With just over a week left before the first ever Electric Mountain Music Festival, slated for the Labour Day long weekend, the performing acts have been lined up.

The Tito Deville Band will open up the festival at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 4. The festival had originally been planed to begin on Sept. 3 at the Active Mountain festival grounds, but early this month promoters announced the show would be reduced to just two days.

Because of the change, promoters say ticket prices will be frozen at the early bird rate of $120 and will not go up as the start date approaches.

The reduced festival is not the only setback that has plagued the promotion. Earlier this summer, headliners Gorillaz Sound System cancelled, and festival publicist Meghan Edmondson resigned. Organizers were also waiting on the approval for a permit from the TNRD, which has now been granted, according to Electric Festival promoters.

Promoters say ticket sales have been slow, but an influx of walkups is expected.

The most recent additions to the festival lineup are Vancouver's Swollen Members and Excision.
