Canada's Pemberton Music Festival to Take a Break This Year

     MUSIC NEWS - One less music festival this summer as The Pemberton Festival, a Live Nation-produced event that started in July 2008 in British Columbia, will not be staged in 2009, according to the firm.   "We will not produce the Pemberton Festival this summer due to the fact that the necessary permits were approved too late in the year for us to effectively book talent. We are moving forward and focusing on 2010," said Live Nation, which has rights to use the site for a festival for nine more years.  Last year,  Pemberton was headlined by Nine Inch Nails, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Coldplay and Jay-Z. The event was Live Nation's first big entry into the North American festival market, though the company does produce several in Europe and the UK.
