The 4 Peaks Music Festival returns for second year to Central Oregon’s high desert this July 25-26, with even more music, camping, food, beverage, crafts and kid’s fun. After a successful first year, the festival’s Bend-based promoters keep the momentum going as a bigger and better annual event, expanding the 20-acre venue to 80 acres to allow for more camping and a designated family camping area. The musical line-up also blossomed into 20 bands from last year’s 17.

Bands are still being finalized, but the line-up promises even bigger headliners than last summer, while still featuring local acts. Tentatively, the band roster consists of Tea Leaf Green, Zilla, Hot Buttered Rum, Everyone Orchestra, Blue Turtle Seduction, Poor Man's Whiskey, Flowmotion, Moon Mountain Ramblers, Izabella, Acorn Project, State of Jefferson, Brent Alan and His Funky Friends, The Grain, Swampthang, Masala Mostest, Rising Tide and Black Strap.

Festival-goers can save up to $24 by puchasing specially priced Early Bird tickets before May 15 for $64.50. Price will then bump up to $76.50 — a $12 savings and still a bargain for two days of music and camping. Next, prices climb to $88.75 without notice — still a great deal, but a $24 premium for sitting on the fence.
