The brightest minds of cannabis will descend to celebrate the beginning of the journey to the 19th annual Emerald Cup with the 2022 Harvest Ball (www.theemeraldcup.com). The Emerald Cup is thrilled to announce E-40 and Channel Tres as headliners for the festival, bringing a whole new energy that will electrify the weekend and add an exciting element for attendees. Discovery has been a key focal point for this year’s Harvest Ball. The way in which cannabis embraces the discovery of different cannabis strains and brands was used as a source of inspiration for this year’s musical lineup. Taking place on December 10 and 11, 2022, at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa, California, the two-day gathering and festival celebrate the peak of the harvest season, allowing access to the best of California cannabis while exploring a unique array of musical acts. The 2022 lineup will deliver some amazing sets that align with past highlights including SantiGold, Rebelution, The Roots, Damian Marley, Big Wild, Keak the Sneak, and Cut Chemist.
“The Emerald Cup has always been a highly curated cannabis marketplace with ‘new discovery’ avenues for culture and weed,” says Emerald Cup Founder Tim Blake. “Music and cannabis have been intertwined throughout the history of the Cup. We’re excited to announce this year’s musical line-up, featuring some of the hottest acts to discover – old and new. Check out the artists on our two music stages, they’ll surely keep you moving and grooving on the dance floor.”
