A lineup of 36 music acts — topped by star rapper G-Eazy, Australian pop-rock duo Empire of the Sun and electronic-music producer DJ Snake — are set to play in the woods near Heber, at the fourth annual Bonanza Campout music festival.
The slate for the three-day event, set for June 21-23 at the River’s Edge Campground at the base of Jordanelle Dam in Heber, was announced Thursday by the event’s Salt Lake City production company, Late Nite Events. Tickets go on sale Friday at BonanzaCampout.com.
Organizers say onsite cabins for the three-day event have sold out, and limited RV sites and other camping options are still available for those making a weekend of it.
