The inaugural Pemberton Music Festival, which went down last weekend and featured headlining sets by Coldplay, Tom Petty, and Jay-Z, was not without its problems: dust clouds that caused much respiratory distress on days one and two; the threat of rain on day three; members of N.E.R.D. reportedly getting stuck in traffic long enough to delay their sets; and bathrooms that one reporter described as “grim beyond description,” which kind of makes the “well, at least they had poutine at the food stands” argument a little less appealing.
