Cranbrook, BC (June 2, 2025) – Rock The Kootenays 2025, the ultimate all-Canadian music festival, is thrilled to announce an exciting update to our Sunday, August 10, 2025 lineup. 

While we're disappointed to share that Saga will not be able to perform this year due to health reasons, we're turning up the energy with a fresh twist. Stepping outside our classic rock roots, we're proud to welcome BC’s own country music star Aaron Pritchett to the stage! With a chart-topping career and fan-favourite hits like “When I Do” and “Hold My Beer,” Aaron is sure to bring the house down and make this year’s festival even more unforgettable.
