Rock The Lake Adds Second Wave of Artists Including International Rock Bands Daughtry and Hoobastank

Three-day weekend passes are available now to catch the newly-added rock icons, Daughtry, Hoobastank, Texas King, and Lynam live in Downtown Kelowna this July.

Rock The Lake has announced the addition of Grammy-nominated bands Daughtry and Hoobastank to the stacked festival lineup. Canada’s Texas King and the retro metal group Lynam also join the two internationally recognized bands. The announcement follows Rock the Lake’s initial 2024 lineup announcements, including rock legends Tom Cochrane, Theory of a Deadman, Our Lady Peace, and 54-40 playing the outdoor plaza at Prospera Place from July 12-14th, 2024.

“Daughtry and Hoobastank are major additions to the 2024 Rock The Lake line-up,” explains Mike Strawn, VP & General Manager of Sports, Media and Entertainment for GSL Group. “We are committed to bringing bigger, more internationally acclaimed names to the Okanagan, and we believe that these artists’ touring successes prove the incredible energy they will add to the weekend. This year’s line-up is one of our most exciting to date and we’re more than thrilled with the variety of bands, exciting new site layout, and overall experience festival-goers have come to expect!”

The summer rock festival will take place July 12-14th, 2024, just steps away from beautiful Okanagan Lake. Further lineup announcements, including the full lineup, and schedule will be released over the coming weeks.

About the Second Wave of Artists

A rock powerhouse, Daughtry has been smashing records with the fastest-selling rock debut album in modern history, earning multiple GRAMMY® nominations, and consistently topping charts with certified Platinum and Gold albums. They recently ushered in a new sonic era with Big Machine Records and their single featuring Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale, “Artificial.”

Hoobastank are best known for their 4x platinum single “The Reason”, popularized over two decades on countless TV shows and more recently, on TikTok. The song has billions of streams across streaming platforms and has propelled the band’s more recent albums to a new generation of fans. 

Canadian touring workhorses Texas King also join the line-up this year, bringing their notoriously high-energy show to the sunny outdoor stage. “We’re the good times boys,” says frontman Jordan Macdonald. “Leave your troubles at the door, because you’re not gonna be able to hold them with those two beers in each hand.” 

The second wave of artists is rounded out by Alabama’s rock trio, Lynam. Influenced by Def Leppard, the independent artists cross intricate songwriting with the fun and fanfare of glam rock.
