Canada’s hottest beach festival is back as the Monster Energy Center of Gravity returns to Kelowna, B.C. from July 8 to 10. Now in its ninth year, the sports and music festival is bringing over 30 world-renowned artists to B.C.’s Okanagan, performing across four outdoor stages.

Headliners this year include eight-time Grammy Award winner Skrillex, Dutch DJ/producer Afrojack, and hip-hop legend Ice Cube.
