The lineup for this year’s Sasquatch Festival was announced just recently by Seattle’s radio station 107.7 The End (check out the link, they’re also throwing down a contest where you can win some free passes). As I was skimming through the poster, which is absolutely adorable by the way, I couldn’t help shake that feeling of “crap, this fest sounds too good to be true.” The Foos, Death Cab, Wilco, Flaming Lips, Bright Eyes, Chromeo and a heck load of other marvelous acts, including another reunion Death From Above 1979 show and Wolf Parade gig, who as far as I know will be on indefinite hiatus after Sasquatch. If you’re looking for something more electronic orientated, don’t forget Bassnectar, Flying Lotus, CSS and Bonobo will be also there performing.
The 2011, 10th edition of the Sasquatch Fest will take place during the May 27-30 Memorial Weekend in The Gorge in George, WA. Get four-day passes now at sasquatchfestival.com, single-day tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. 2/14.
When I tried to access the website I was only met by a big blank, which read “Welcome to nginx!”. It looks like a technical glitch or a hack, but I’m pretty sure the website will be back online for real soon enough. Check out the full lineup displayed right after the jump.
