5 Reasons You Need to Rock The Lake This Week

Rock The Lake (RTL), powered by GSL Sports & Entertainment, is bringing the energy to Prospera Place this week and we have five solid reasons why you NEED to be here for it.

1. Rockstars Raised on Poutine and Maple Syrup: The 2025 lineup? 100% homegrown Canadian rockstars including Simple Plan, The Sheepdogs, Sam Roberts Band, Matthew Good and His Band and MORE. Expect singalong songs, nostalgia tracks, and live sets that’ll leave you memories to last you a lifetime. These are the kind of shows that you’ll be talking about long after the lights go down.
2. Peak Summer Kelowna Memories: Located right in the heart of downtown Kelowna, Rock The Lake will be only 3 minutes from Tugboat Beach and steps from patios, breweries, and local shops! This is the peak Okanagan season with endless sunshine, blue skies, hot weather, and cold drinks. If you know, you know… Kelowna in July just hits different.
3. Local Drinks, Local Love: We don’t just represent Canadian talent on our stage, we pour it in your cups too. Rock The Lake has partnered with BC and Canadian beverage brands so you can sip something proudly Canadian while you sing your heart out. Plus, all our food trucks, on site restaurants, local vendors, and partners are 100% Canadian! Supporting local businesses has never felt so good.
4. Rock for ALL: RTL is for everyone! Festival-goers, parents, pals, and first-timers. And if you’re rolling into the festival with little ones? No problem, kids 12 & under get in FREE with an adult pass! We’ll have a Kids Zone in our festival market. So bring the crew, bring your family, and we’ll make sure Rock The Lake is the key to your 2025 summer memories.
5. Easy Festival Access: No long walks. No overpriced shuttles. No camping panic. All you have to do for RTL is pull into beautiful downtown Kelowna, grab your wristband, and head to the music. You handle the dancing, we’ll handle the logistics. By the way, your wristband gives you access to leave an come back if you want to explore more. Re-entry is available until 9 PM.
