For the second year, Kokanee Crankworx has teamed with The Fan Tan Group, a globally recognized event production company, to produce this event. “The Fan Tan Group has created a music festival that is the perfect compliment to Kokanee Crankworx.” says Kokanee Crankworx General Manager, Jeremy Roche. “Deraylor lives and breathes the lifestyle that surrounds the world’s most renowned mountain biking festival. As athletes and fans wrap their day at the competitions, world‐class artists are setting up to rock Whistler’s hottest nightclubs.”
As an added bonus for 2010’s Deraylor, the first 100 tickets sold online will receive access to the exclusive Kokanee Silent Disco party at the Garibaldi Lift Company on Saturday, August 14th. Fans will receive headphones at the door and have the opportunity to rock out to competing DJ sets on alternative channels. “This is one party that you don’t want to miss,” says Roche. “ The Kokanee Silent Disco parties are famous in Whistler and we are so happy to offer this special event to select Deraylor fans.”
