The Sasquatch! Music Festival Is On the Map
By name, the Sasquatch! Music Festival is no Coachella, Bonnaroo, or SXSW. But with a 2009 lineup including names like Kings Of Leon, Ben Harper & Relentless7, the OG version of Jane’s Addiction, and The Decemberists, we’re beginning to think otherwise.
Taking place May 23-25 during Memorial weekend, the eighth annual Sasquatch! Music Festival keeps the Pacific Northwest proud by working hard to remain a carbon-neutral music festival and proving that hippies can be useful and do know how to rock. (No worries. Hippies don’t use the Internet anyway. And if you’re taking me too seriously, I’m from Oregon, where most hippies are born and stay to die. Don’t harsh my mellow, dude. I’m kidding.)
The festival is held at The Gorge in Washington and discounted passes go on sale February 28 at 10 am and will be available until March 1st through the official website. Ticket prices will increase on March 2, then again on May 11.
