The Final WEMF ~ JULY 18-20, 2008
As the grass turns green and the birds are singing once more everyone at Destiny HQ begins to focus on WEMF. That's right - another year has almost come to pass and Canada's largest, longest running and most anticipated electronic music event is just around the corner!
This year, we are proud to celebrate the 14th Anniversary of the World Electronic Music Festival which is Destiny's 64th major event in the last 15 years - WOW! That said, we are also sad to say that this will be the FINAL WEMF. The party and tradition will come to an end in 2008 but we will definitely be going out with a bang – or should I say BOOM! Look for a line-up second to none with many past performers returning for one final chance to grace the stages of WEMF. Joining them will be some of the biggest names out there today. Bottom line – its gonna be a helluva party! In celebration of all things WEMF, we are offering a very special "for those who know" pre-release ticket sale. For 4 days only -- from Thursday May 8th @ 9AM to Sunday, May 11 @ 11:59 we will be offering 3-day tickets for the low price of $75.00 CDN while supplies last. As always, tickets include camping for the weekend with unlimited in and out access via our wristband policy. That's right, the Three Day is on sale one more time, one last time.
These SUPER EARLY BIRD Tickets will be limited to 600 and for the past three years they have all sold out in less than 72hrs -- so mark it on your calendar and get them quick!
Super Early Bird tickets will ONLY be availble online at TICKETBREAK.com, all Ticketmaster locations in Canada and the U.S. and on the street at Play De Record and Numb in Toronto.
ONLINE OUTLETS:
Canada / USA: www.ticketbreak.com
Ticketmaster: www.ticketmaster.ca or www.ticketmaster.com
While we won't be releasing any details on the event until the weekend after the sale, we can tell you that this year's final WEMF will bring the festival back to the way it all began: A 100% fresh outdoor scenic venue with non-stop music! We appreciate the support you have shown over the years and know without a doubt that you will have a blast at the very final World Electronic Music Festival!
Peace.
OS, OV & The Destiny Crew. |

Cannot wait for this!! The only WEMF I ever went to was 2 years ago in Tweed and pretty much turned me onto drum n' bass and house/trance (outside of chemical brothers, daft punk etc..)
VERY happy to hear that this event will be completely outdoors. The fact that all the stages last year were indoors was one of the reasons I ended up selling my ticket.
I know that some people were not believing that this would be the final WEMF as there are rumours of that every year but I think the word 'final' making it into the official logo should convince the the lot of them |

^^ You hit on the major point.
In ALL prior years only these "RUMOURS" of it being like "omz the last one evers" float around. But thats just what you hear "on the street" for from friends.
It has never (AFAIK) been stated by Destiny or those that run it. Certainly not in the last several or more years.
But for months now, WEMF officials, those running it have open stated, OK GUYS, this is the last one now"
Their word does not count as "rumours" like when ur buddy over hears that he think its the last one.
If the runners of WEMF as advertising it as the final WEMF and saying this one is actually the last one, then it is!
Them saying it is what makes this different from every other year when its only rumours that annoyingly float around. |
