Please, join us :)

[faxman75]

Band of Horses

LCD Soundsystem
Mumford and Sons
The National
MGMT
Public Enemy
She & Him
Passion Pit
Pavement
Ween
Tegan & Sarah
The xx
The Hold Steady

then another half dozen I have heard good things about. Very pleased but the best part about it has to be Massive Attack at the Gorge! That's going to be worth the price of admission.

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

Motherfuck, Sasquatch really brought it this year. Definitely going.

[sbessiso]

I really really really wanna go, but I dont think I can justify it. MA and MMJ sure, but the rest I wanna see will be at coachella

[sbessiso]

Is interpol planning on ANY festivals this year? Sasquatch would have been so perfect

[Somewhat Damaged]

If Massive Attack and LCD Soundsystem are on the same day, I'm probably going to have to go.

[Ardentbiscuit]

Wow! I may have to make the trip out again! That's an awesome line up!

[superfiction]

i just made the lineup announcement on 1077 The End! gave much love to massive attack even though we dont play them

[seandigi]

SMD and Massive Attack in the same weekend?! Enough said... My excuse to visit the Gorge.

[suprefan]

DJ Bryce in da house!!

You guys better start playing Angel or something..

[chiapet]

I don't see how I can pass this one up...

Then you must go :)

[clumsy342]

sure wish their website would finish updating already.
I'm really anxious to see how it breaks down by day.

[faxman75]

Sasquatch always does a decent job of getting a lineup that's enjoyable and different from Coachellas. I'm surprised about no Faith No More or Dead Weather but we get Massive Attack, something Chella and Roo were unable to do this year. Big props to the organizers this year.

[seandigi]

I was really hoping for The Pixies too.

[thestripe]

Line-up is stacked.

[faxman75]

Is Ween really a headliner? I still can't wrap my head around that. I really don't have a problem with it but it's just odd to me. I saw Ween in 1994 at Metro in Chicago on the Chocolate and Cheese tour and it was fucking unforgettable and so much fun. However, I have not listened to or seen Ween since 1994. I'll be downloading some tonight. Pure Guava is a classic album and something I can still listen to today.

[chiapet]

I'm not really sure about Ween as a headliner either, but I've seen them a couple of times in the last few years and they were great.

[faxman75]

Sure as hell beats Kings of Leon and Ben Harper lol. I can't wait for this. I'm even excited about revisiting some music I haven't heard in a while. This lineup really is rich with variety.

[sin213]

wow wow wow wow wow

i was starting to have doubts about getting my early bird sasquatch ticket....no longer....


M A S S I V E A T T A C K ! ! !

holy shit!!!

[chiapet]

It really is an amazing lineup for Sasquatch. I was dead set on not going, I don't have the time or money for it but ... ;)

[thestripe]

There is srsly like 40 bands that I would consider checking out.

[superfiction]

DJ Bryce in da house!!

You guys better start playing Angel or something..

haha if it were up to me.... also on that note i talked to my boss and she was saying the lineup we were sent a few weeks ago didnt have Massive attack on it. which begs the question, were they a last minute get?

ween are not a headliner. they will probably play before mmj id imagine. or headline the wookie stage i guess thats possible but they feel mainstage to me.

[faxman75]

My play list today at work so far. The National (alligator, boxer, sad songs dirty lovers), My Morning Jacket - Z and next up Massive Attack.

im bumping some massive attack myself

[sin213]

gotta go now! :D

[faxman75]

I bet this news is driving zizzzles crazzzzy.

[faxman75]

If you havne't heard Mumford and Sons, go listen. Joel and Rain saw them this past weekend in San Fran and were blown away.

[BlackSwan]

Massive Attack? WTF?

[sin213]

I bet this news is driving zizzzles crazzzzy.

lol

many phoenix people will be coming this year i bet.

this is soooo amazing. i didn't think MA would be at Sasquatch.

wonder if this gives credit to the rumor of MA getting added to coachella?

[Gribbz]

My line-up homework just doubled. Got my ticket last night.

[HandBanana]

Ive never been before but thats a rad lineup.

The only thing that bugs me is the photo makes it look just like a big amphitheater show, which isnt always very "festival" feeling.

[guedita]

lol

I think it makes it less likely.

There's more than one stage apparently... and a dance tent.

[HandBanana]

If its an amphitheater, is there a cordoned-off "reserved" section at the bottom where there are seats? That would be wack.

[faxman75]

It is a big ampitheater show but it's the most beautiful ampitheater in the country and there are 2 other stages and a tent that are not pictured so there is plenty of room to walk around and check out other stages.

also, the pictures don't even do this place justice, when you arrive go to the top of the hill and look down. You will be in awe.

[clumsy342]

not the case handbanana.. in fact it's incredibly easy to get a good spot

[HandBanana]

Hmmmm.
Really considering this now.
Thanks guys.

[faxman75]

If its an amphitheater, is there a cordoned-off "reserved" section at the bottom where there are seats? That would be wack.

No seats. There is a pit in the front that they open up at the beginning and end of each act. They don't force you out at the end of each act so you can stay if you want to be close for muliple acts.

[clumsy342]

in terms of Sasquatch not feeling "like a festival", the only other festival I've been too is Coachella, so it's kind of like comparing apples to ..the best fucking festival on earth.

The way I put it is Sasquatch is a poor substitute for Coachella, but an incredible addition.

[faxman75]

I figure Massive Attack will play 90 minutes at least. MMJ will probably do 2+ hours.

[BlackSwan]

I think it makes it less likely.

Ya, we'll probably just get a May/June tour. Fox or the Greek?

[chiapet]

There are a couple of sections of the amphitheater that are corded off, HB, one ADA mandated and one for VIP. There is a "main floor" sort of area that is sectioned off into two parts, both are GA, and have a slight incline, so you can actually see from the floor. As for the amphitheater, there aren't really bad seats since it's set into a hill. If you're with a group and want to sit with good seats for the headliners, you do have to stake out some ground earlier in the day.

[guedita]

FYI, there are now 64 spots left at Wildhorse. I'm still really tickled by what chia said about it in chat last night about it, "People drink and drop acid...just quietly."

That said I have a far better time at Sasquatch each year than I do at Lollapalooza. I look at Sasquatch like Coachella's smaller brother. It's not as great but it's a bit more intimate, the venue is damn near perfect and the lineup is always good.

[superfiction]

i dont hink massive even played 90 minutes when i saw them play by themselves at the paramount in 06. but maybe im remembering wrong. i hope we get a more varried set than what theyve been playing but i mean, ill take what i can get

[C DUB YA]

Ween is not a headliner.

headliners are MMJ, Massive and Pavement

[faxman75]

If you're with a group and want to sit with good seats for the headliners, you do have to stake out some ground earlier in the day.

This is fairly easy as well. I have heard others here and have seen people just leave their blanket with a hat or something not valuable on it to save their spot and most everyone is respectful of your space so you could get close for some and return to your blanket on the lawn later. With a group it's easy to just take turns checking out stuff and returning to your spot too.

[chiapet]

They're not festivals that you can directly compare, but I'll say this: Sasquatch's setting beats out Coachella by a long-shot and there are some obvious up-sides like being able to bring in food/having not much security check and being able to drink (rather than restircted to designated areas). The only downsides I can think of to Sasquatch are that the food vendor options are pretty limited compared to how spoiled we are at Coachella, and that by the end of the weekend, you will be tired of running up and down that damned hill. :)

[guedita]

What time does the music stop at this festival?

[HandBanana]

So they let bands play longer?

Cuz I am a huge MMJ fan, but you have to give them room to stretch out and do their thing otherwise it loses its power.

[superfiction]

depends. usually around 1am but one year the festival was delayed by a hail storm and the flmaing lips took the stage at 1 am. so its really fairly lax

[faxman75]

So they let bands play longer?

Cuz I am a huge MMJ fan, but you have to give them room to stretch out and do their thing otherwise it loses its power.

The Cure played over 2.5 hours from what I recall but bands that aren't prepared with as much material like say Jane's Addiction only played 90 minutes. I don't think there is a curfew, it seems to be in the middle of nowhere.

get rid of psyche and i'll take it

[chiapet]

What time does the music stop at this festival?

I believe it's scheduled to stop around 11:30PM, except for Monday. Headliners have ended earlier and later. (The Cure went until like 1? I think? I can't remember).


So they let bands play longer?

Cuz I am a huge MMJ fan, but you have to give them room to stretch out and do their thing otherwise it loses its power.

The Cure played for about 2.5 hours in 2008, and there didn't seem to be any indication of them being asked to stop. (Robert was really sick for that leg of the tour, so it seemed more like they just ran out of steam rather than running into a curfew).



Also, in the past, nothing has completely conflicted with the headliner (one of the other stages usually overlaps partially). Last year (the first year of) the dance tent went on well into the headliners though.

[Aurgasm]

I'm going.


Jefe. lez do thiz

[crombrenner]

Very solid lineup. Love the fact that Massive and Pavement get headliner length sets. However, now that most of the major festivals have announced their lineups (except for Lolla), I think it's safe to say that Coachella is by far and away the winner this year. No disrespect to Sasquatch, but none of the big fests can compete with Coach. No other fest has Gorillaz, FNM, Orbital, Plastikman, Thom Yorke, Grizzly Bear, etc. etc. Last year was a bit weak for Coach, still a great time though. But when you compare Coach, Roo, and Sasquatch this year, the ranking has to go Coach #1 by far, sasquatch #2, and Roo # 57. Wow, did Roo blow it this year or what?

[righteousdnk]

Orbital is playing Ultra next month.

Bestival

but i think you're talking about US fests... i see Coachella, ATP, Pitchfork and Sasquatch in my future 8^)

[StubbADubb]

OK - so I bought a car camping space at Wildhorse.

In the event that I don't end up making the show, would I be able to sell my spot? I know others on here have said you can but the website they check ID....wondering how picky they are about that....


thanks!

[luckyface]

The one year my Seattle friend can't go to this... fucker. I probably won't be able to swing this now.

[sin213]

i'm sure you could, stubb. but wouldn't you rather just come and party with us! :D

[guedita]

I like that it seems like there's going to be a massive Coachella board presence.

[faxman75]

It's like last year was Coachella to Roo and this year it's Coachella to Sasquatch.

[StubbADubb]

sin123! I know, I know, after SF Warfield and Coachella especially.

I'm not too keen on a lot of the bands in the line-up, which is the problem. But maybe after seeing a lot of them at Coachella I'll want to see them again. I'm REALLY going for Massive Attack, plus the fact that I want to go camping this year since I am not camping at Coachella and I love camping anyway, AND that The Gorge is only about a 5 hour drive away from me. And that a lot of my friends wax on about the festival each year so I wanna see what I've been missing!

So, really...no excuse!

[boarderwoozel3]

I'm going.

Jefe. lez do thiz

Nice. Coachella in the spot with numbers. We'll make it go.

[superfiction]

by the way. not feelin my morning jacket. just cant get into it been trying all morning

[Aurgasm]

by the way. not feelin my morning jacket. just cant get into it been trying all morning

they have quite the discography...

I wonder where you are starting.. Being from KY, I've been listening to them for quite some time and I can see how their later stuff might not be as approachable as some of their earlier, more jangly stuff.

[HandBanana]

MMJ newbs:

START at Okonokos.

That is all.

[rskapcat]

Z is the only MMJ album to which I have any attachment. Evil Urges was too all over the place for me. I don't care for the older material on record (aside from a song here and there), but it's fantastic live.

[superfiction]

ive scoped evil urges and z. i'll try okonokos but im not holding my breath

[rage patton]

Oh holy shit. Line up is out? What happened to Feb 16th? Oh well. Looks pretty great. Don't know if I will be going this year though...

[faxman75]

I'm with you Becca. I can watch them live and enjoy most of it but Z is the only album of theirs I love start to finish.

[sin213]

feb 16th rage. ;)

it'd be cool if you could make an appearance...even if just on the Massive Attack day.

[faxman75]

ive scoped evil urges and z. i'll try okonokos but im not holding my breath

If you tried Z you gave it a fair shot.

[superfiction]

feb 16th rage. ;)

it'd be cool if you could make an appearance...even if just on the Massive Attack day.

yeah josh if i cant spot you out of a crowd randomly and yell at you its not really a festival for me


If you tried Z you gave it a fair shot.

yeah i mean. the music isnt bad but its a bit jammy and i hate their vocalist

[rage patton]

yeah josh if i cant spot you out of a crowd randomly and yell at you its not really a festival for me

Haha. No really.

[Aurgasm]

Oh holy shit. Line up is out? What happened to Feb 16th? Oh well. Looks pretty great. Don't know if I will be going this year though...

considering your location- WTF?

[rage patton]

considering your location- WTF?

I am very broke. This line is very cheap however. $170 for a 3 day pass is quite insane. I wont be able to buy tickets until Thursday though, and I bet they sell out fast. I am also keeping ATP and APW as options...

yeah im curious about apw. and will probably end up only going to the massive attack day of sasquatch unless i need to catch pavement if i mis them at coachella

they dont go on sale till the 20th...

i read that on cos

[chiapet]

Josh, they're not going to sell out by Thursday. You can do this. :)

Becca, does your post here mean that you are in too? :)

[rage patton]

Ticketmaster confirms what you are saying. Presale starts tomorrow.

Is the sasquatch site not working for anyone else? I want to know what day everyone plays?

[chiapet]

Sasquatch page not working for me, probably getting the 2010 info online. No day by day breakdown announced yet. Those of us with tickets had the early bird, the presale does start 2/17.

[faxman75]

That hasn't been announced yet Josh. I have tickets to Sasquatch, Wild Horse camping and my airfare already purchased on this one. Early bird indeed.

[rage patton]

I was really hoping Them Crooked Vultures would have been on this line up to solve potential Coachella conflicts.

[superfiction]

Ticketmaster confirms what you are saying. Presale starts tomorrow.

Is the sasquatch site not working for anyone else? I want to know what day everyone plays?

site isnt working for me either

[guedita]

But it does look like the tickets will still be $170 on Wednesday.

[miraj]

I managed to snag an early bird after the lineup was announced. I like that they gave a 2 hour window for that :-)

[Aurgasm]

Can anyone confirm if there is a presale discount?


They are redesigning the site as we speak. Some of the mirror sites are live.. looks similar to last year's site

[superfiction]

stupid to not have your site ready for launch the morning your lineup comes out

[Gribbz]

I dig MMJ's live album. Not sure about their studio work yet.

[chiapet]

stupid to not have your site ready for launch the morning your lineup comes out

It's not officially come out though. ;)

Edit - they do this every year that I can recall. Maybe Sasquatch is not really a "work all night to get the lineup / site ready" type of organization.

[liquidsnake28]

It Still Moves is their best album, followed by Z. Evil Urges is possibly the worst. As far as whether their earlier or later stuff is more accessible, it's the opposite of what forza said. The first two albums are by far the least accessible. As HB said, Okonokos (the live one) is probably the best place to start.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

but I love Evil Urges :(

[Gribbz]

I thought bing and hotwire were supposed to have good deals? Southwest is cheaper by over $100 dollars.

[chiapet]

2010 site is loading now.

Also Wild Horse is down to 49 spots left.

[chiapet]

Monday looks miss-able for those of you who really needed to get back to work:

Monday, May 31st
Ween / MGMT / Band of Horses / She & Him / Passion Pit / The New Pornographers / Drive-By Truckers / Boys Noize / Camera Obscura / The Temper Trap / Dr. Dog / Neon Indian / No Age / The Mountain Goats / Phantogram / Quasi / Japandroids / Mayer Hawthorne & The County / The Low Anthem / Fresh Espresso / Hudson Mohawke / Telekinesis / Past Lives / Yes Giantess / Craig Robinson

[HAMMERHEAD]

i think it dilutes some of the excitement when you have to read the lineup on some news site or blog and not on the website of the actual event. at the moment people are most stoked on the lineup (release) is when you should have all the info available on the website.

i guess in the long run a few hours isnt a big deal and it really is a great lineup. sasquatch seems to have figured out how to carve its own place in the festival circuit

[rskapcat]

Nope, Heidi. :( We can't do both Coachella and Sasquatch (ATP is a given).

[Bendulum]

2010 site is loading now.

Also Wild Horse is down to 49 spots left.

Loading up to the 'cool stuff coming' status.

[MassiveChemicalPunk]

Monday's headliner sucks but, the undercard is fucking solid.

Band of Horses / New Pornographers / Boys Noize / Neon Indian / Phantogram / Japandroids

[TomServo]

I think I'm gonna skip Sasquatch and try Bumbershoot instead. Cheaper, more artsy (from what I understand), more time to enjoy the city as well as the festival.

My wife has never been to Seattle, so it's one of these, and let's face it, Bumbershoot had Sheryl Crow last year, so I don't have to worry about THAT happening again. Of course... there's always Dave Matthews. Yuck.

[Aurgasm]

I dig MMJ's live album. Not sure about their studio work yet.

dude... wait a few weeks. Southwest will have an $70-$80 one ways on sale by the beginning of March. Trust me.

[guedita]

Band of Horses / New Pornographers / Boys Noize / Neon Indian / Phantogram / Japandroids

Yeah, that's pretty great to me. I'd be very happy if Boys Noize was up against Ween, too.

[liquidsnake28]

but I love Evil Urges :(

It has some great songs on it but as an album it's hardly better than Tennessee Fire or At Dawn.

[Gribbz]

lots of albums to listen to

Pretty sure I have them all. Just haven't given each one a thorough listen.

[StubbADubb]

Southwest probably will be lowering their prices even more if this Kevin Smith fiasco has any bearing. Just remember...can't be fat to fly!

This is a huge mistake. Bumbershit is JUST AWFUL.

[rage patton]

Site still isn't working for me. WTF?


This is a huge mistake. Bumbershit is JUST AWFUL.

Woh woh woh. Bumbershoot certainly isn't comparable to Sasquatch... but it is a fun little festival. I have gone twice and had a great time both times.

[Gribbz]

Sasquatch will help me tremendously with Coachella conflicts.

[miraj]

I think it's fucking terrible. It's extremely overpriced for what it is. The stages are low budget with terrible sound. The crowd is as annoying as it gets with children everywhere. Not my cup of tea at all. But maybe it's because I'm a Seattle native and have watched the POS festival balloon from $10/day to $50/day in 10 years.

[chiapet]

I like Bumbershoot a lot, but it's not similar to Sasquatch. It's an arts festival, not a music festival. Music is a large component of that, but there is also an emphasis on theatre, dance, comedy... . The headliners for Bumbershoot are very mainstream compared to the other festivals, and there is a much, much more varied lineup as they have stages loosely configured around genres.

[Bendulum]

Site still isn't working for me. WTF?


I saw the links on the left side, but it appeared that the site was still in transition.

[HandBanana]

I cant seem to get the site to load at all.
Trying to find the day-by-day breakdown of acts.

Hmmm


Anyone have it?

[brando4n82]

uh..is the full lineup posted in this thread? i cant even get on the sasquatch website

[superdeluxe]

Be careful, it is cheaper for a reason, the music line ups are usually hit and miss.

[brando4n82]

just read it on CoS, wow. i cant believe they actually got Massive Attack.... I mean, that pretty much means they are playing Coachella, right?

Ween is the only other band I want to see there that isnt already playing coach,

[Gribbz]

I highly doubt Massive Attack will be at Coachella.

[paulb]

so...Massive Attack and My Morning Jacket, and Boys Noize....great gets.....then what?

[rage patton]

BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE!

[Gribbz]

so...Massive Attack and My Morning Jacket, and Boys Noize....great gets.....then what?

Huh? You wanna know who else is good on the line-up?

[HAMMERHEAD]

so...Massive Attack and My Morning Jacket, and Boys Noize....great gets.....then what?

broken social scene, minus the bear, simian mobile disco, etc etc etc

[Aurgasm]

Sasquatch will help me tremendously with Coachella conflicts.

which ones?

From Phoenix or Tucson to Seattle? Doubtful. I've never seen a price Cheaper than $220 RT to Seattle from AZ.

[paulb]

broken social scene, minus the bear, simian mobile disco, etc etc etc

why would I travel to washington to see them though?

[guedita]

New Pornographers will put on a great show.

um dont go then

[Gribbz]

which ones?

LCD Soundsystem, Camera Obscura, Edward Sharpe, Local Natives, Z-Trip, She & Him etc.

[Boourns]

Huh? You wanna know who else is good on the line-up?

Massive Attack, Broken Social Scene (not the full lineup?), and a bunch of acts that are at Coachella this year or were in the past two years. Besides Massive Attack, I don't see the big deal.

Definitely beats Bonnaroo, though.

[HAMMERHEAD]

why would I travel to washington to see them though?

missed coachella acts + numerous other great non-coachella acts+expendable income+epic northwestern scenery.

not saying its worth skipping coachella but if i had the extra scrilla i'd go without hesitation. flights to the northwest are easy to find for cheap in my experience, though i would personally make the drive since i'm in san diego.

[faxman75]

New Pornographers will put on a great show.

I really don't enjoy these guys at all. It's nice when Neko sings with them but I enjoy her solo work better than anything the New Porno's have done. Just my opinion though.

[miraj]

um dont go then

I'm not going to go. Someone asked me what I felt was wrong with Bumbershoot, so I responded. Guess I should have quoted.

[rage patton]

OK guys... IM IN!

Just talked to the lady friend and she is down. I'll buy tickets as soon as I can.

[faxman75]

Massive Attack, Broken Social Scene (not the full lineup?), and a bunch of acts that are at Coachella this year or were in the past two years. Besides Massive Attack, I don't see the big deal.

Definitely beats Bonnaroo, though.

That's a pretty big window Frank. The at Coachella within the past two years covers well over 200 bands. Of course there is going to be some overlap.

[faxman75]

OK guys... IM IN!

Just talked to the lady friend and she is down. I'll buy tickets as soon as I can.

Look forward to seeing you there again Josh.

So it's looking like we will be getting a "coachella to Sasquatch" caravan going again. Someone with skills should organize this.

[StubbADubb]

Because the site is loading too slowly can anyone tell me approx how much a single day ticket would be? I just wanna see Massive Attack and then have camping fun timez and because it's not a long weekend up in Canada, I'd only be able to see two days at the most anyway.

Thanks!

:)

[rage patton]

Karina, ticketmaster says single days will be $70.

[StubbADubb]

JOSH - THANKS! staying at Wildhorse campground (soon as slow-ass Paypal payment goes through) Just trying to sort out the tix since I'd only be able to do Sat-Sun at the most. But MASSIVE ATTACK :)


OK guys... IM IN!

[mentos]

So, Bonnaroo is not worth crossing the country for this year.
I had 8 people from around the country and an RV in Atlanta lined up!
Then they came out with that bunk lineup.

Was really looking forward to camping and partying all in the same place as opposed to Coachella with the driving in and driving out scene.

What is Sasquatch! like for the whole 3 day scene?
Is there camping at the venue?
RV spots?
I noticed someone wrote something about wild horse campground.
Is that nearby? No campfires? what kind of camping is that?

Any info at all would be helpful as this will be my first time to this festival.

Thanks

[Bendulum]

It'll be worth the wait. And it's not as fulfilling to read the lineup on a message board VS. the Sasquatch main page.

We have progress on the main page --> the template is up, but no links work.

[chiapet]

Hey Josh, would you guys be camping? Sounds like most of us are going to Wild Horse.

i dont give a fuck about being "fulfilled" i just want to know who is playing waht days

[TomServo]

Regarding Sasquatch - I wanted to want to go... but I'm not a fan of any of the big acts.. or those I am I've seen in recent years or will see at Coachella. Lots of festival bleed there... Pavement, MGMT, Vampire Weekend, LCD Soundsystem, Dirty Projectors, Passion Pit, She & Him. I don't really need to see these acts twice in a couple months. My Morning Jacket I saw at Lolla a few years ago, and they were good enough, but not my thing. I think I enjoyed the American Dad episode about MMJ more than their performance itself. I can see the value in Massive Attack, Tegan & Sara, the comedy acts and a few other bits... but I can see the National in Hollywood.

I think Bumbershoot is exactly what I need - some art, some comedy, some music. Not being tied down to a stage is probably a good thing for that sort of festival, so having a crummy undercard is alright, as long as the headliners are enjoyable. I see it as sort of a West Coast Voodoo Fest - we went to enjoy the N'awlins feel more than to see Lenny Kravitz and Ween, and it doesn't hurt that the tickets are 1/3 the price of Coachella.

But I've never been to Sasquatch OR Bumbershoot - so I could be wrong. If there were more unique (non-Coachella) acts this year, it would be different. Plus... I'm holding out that Soundgarden will be at one of the two - and since it ain't Sasquatch....

[rage patton]

I was just noticing that. How much is wild horse? Is it cheaper?

Here is Wild Horse's FAQ - if you are interested in this campground, you should book right away. They will probably sell out today or tomorrow.

http://www.wildhorsecampground.com/index.php?act=viewDoc&docId=4



Neither campground allows campfires. This is car camping, and it's in an area which could be susceptible to wildfire conditions.

[sin213]

holy fucking shit. Massive Attack AND Booka Shade?? Arghhh.

do it zzz's!

[chiapet]

I was just noticing that. How much is wild horse? Is it cheaper?

It's like ~$20 cheaper and SO much nicer, provided you don't mind not being in walking distance. (They do a shuttle). It's quieter and has showers with a manageable line.

[chiapet]

It's really not like that at all, and the undercard is usually stronger than the headliners -- just far more varied. I suppose you could compare that to Voodoo, instead of jazz there will be a bluegrass/country/etc stage.

You should start a Bumbershoot thread and discuss this whole "west-coast mardi gras " thing in more depth.

I haven't booked through the Wildhorse before (hell, haven't been to Sasquatch before despite my proximity), but just managed to snag a spot.

However, the email I got is that they will not hold it until payment goes through.

I paid through Paypal and I know it takes awhile...what are the chances of me losing my spot before the money starts to move?

Thnx :)

Woah. Sunday is stacked.

I paid via Paypal and got my confirmation email about 10 minutes later. The Wild Horse count has only gone down about 10 spots since this morning, so you're probably ok.

There are some logistical issues (Like getting wrist bands quickly, otherwise you won't get entrance to the main stage).

[miraj]

Nobody wants to miss Sheryl Crow.

[boarderwoozel3]

Bumbershoot always has at least one day of total BS bands too. Like Black Eyed Peas and a mainstream hip hop artist, no joke. Tread with caution.

[boarderwoozel3]

Is the sasquatch main page being a worthless POS for everyone else too? Haven't been able to get it to load all morning.

[amyzzz]

All the bands I want to see are on Sunday. Would they be dumb enough to have conflicts between Massive Attack, SMD, and Booka Shade? because that would fucking kill me if I decided to go....

[sin213]

yeah, their site sux this morning. i finally got it to load...nothing new.

[chiapet]

I really hate the way Bumbershoot handles main stage -- the general festival is very lenient about what they let you bring in, and then when you head to the main stage, all that outside food, beverages/water, etc gets taken away. You can't bring in reusable water bottles or umbrellas (meaning you can't have them in your bag). It's in a football stadium, for god's sake. I usually don't even watch headliners at Bshoot because of the hassle and awfulness of the venue. Fortunately there is always something decent at another stage.

[fikus222]

Is MMJ really big enough to Headline or are they just acting as place holders?

Also, is everyone staying at Wildhorse? If this is the case, than Erika and I should get rid of our premiere camping and go for Wildhorse.

[TomServo]

Thanks for the Bumbershoot info, all who contributed, not intending to hijack this thread. Here's to hoping they have less Sheryl Crows and Black-Eyed Peas than... well, anyone. Although my 10 year old son would love to see BEP. Heh.

This should be a great festival for all who attend!

[chiapet]

I feel like SMD is going to 'headline' the dance tent, and Massive Attack will be on the main stage. Last year the main stage headliner went longer than the dance tent. So you should be able to catch some of both either way.

[mentos]

You're not being rude at all!
You explained the wildfire conditions. Thanks! Makes sense now.
I looked through the first 10 pages of the thread and the last couple.
I got some info and googled wildhorse.
Already looked at their FAQ.

just didn't know what the scene was like at the Gorge camping vs wild horse.

so far, I have:

wild horse:
quiet hours
hot showers
shuttle

Gorge on-site camping:
Showers limited
Party all night long
Walk-in

Anything else you could throw out there for the side-by-side comparison?

With regards to the main stage, I agree. Post festival, I filled out a Bumbershoot survey, which was worded in such a way as to make me think that they are going to alter the way the main stage tickets are handled i.e pay a different price to have access limited to the main stage and the use of an alternate entrance as well.

[faxman75]

Is MMJ really big enough to Headline or are they just acting as place holders?


Sure they are big enough to headline this fest. This question is more appropriate for Ween though, don't you think?

[rage patton]

Sunday AKA: Camped-out-at-the-mainstage-all-day stage.

I find it weird that The xx will be second on the stage though. I thought for sure they would be a night time act.

[TomServo]

That's a good question. I'm still wary that maybe Soundgarden is mapping out their festival strategy and will get added to a few (although the Lolla rumor may damage that). MMJ opened for Pearl Jam at Lolla in '07, and they haven't really become a household name since then (Stan Smith excepted). It wouldn't shock me to see SG get added over MMJ.

But again, I'm a SG diehard, so I try to weasel them in as much as possible. I simply cannot see them skipping both Washington-based music fests.

[faxman75]

Also, is everyone staying at Wildhorse? If this is the case, than Erika and I should get rid of our premiere camping and go for Wildhorse.

I don't know about "everyone" but it looks like a good majority at the very least.

[HandBanana]

Wait, so I need a wristband every day to get close to the stage?

Thats weak

Huh? You don't need anything special to get close to the stage.

[faxman75]

Someone needs to start a petition to get The National to play the tiny Yeti stage at sunset again. I think either way they will end up as a sunset band it's going to be wonderful.

[amyzzz]

I can't get the damn site to load. ugh. I'm at home sick today and this is freaking me out.

[boarderwoozel3]

Nooooooooo!

That's bumbershoot. Sasquatch is legit.

[chiapet]

fikus - It sounds like there are around a dozen of us for Wild Horse so far. I think you & your wife would like it better than Premier camping (which didn't feel very premier at all!) It's also a much, much smaller place and will be easy to find other people even if we all arrive at different times.

And if KOL could headline last year, I suppose MMJ can now.

[fikus222]

Wait, so I need a wristband every day to get close to the stage?

Thats weak

Just for Bumbershoot.

Sasquatch has a three tiered arrangement for the main stage "seating." There is an orchestra pit, which you sometimes have to wait to be let into, followed by a larger pit area and then there is the sloped lawn area with the amazing view of the Gorge. The sound isn't bad at all from up the hill either.

[rage patton]

I can't see a thing, do they have everything broken down to stages already?

Just based on how the broke down in previous years. However, I could be reading it wrong, and it could be that Dirty Projectors will be opening the mainstage and The xx will be closing the Wookie. Dirty Projectors being first on the mainstage seems weird though...

[HandBanana]

Oh yeah, I have no interest in Bumbershoot thx :P

Especially after Patton Oswalt's patchouli rant.

[superfiction]

i cant see soundgarden getting added. my guess is they arent even rehearsing yet

[fikus222]

I wonder if it is at all possible to sell our premier camping pass? If so, we would prolly have to get rid of it closer to game time...I'll have to decide today, cuz I'm sure Wildhorse's capacity will be reached sooner rather than later.

[chiapet]

so far, I have:

wild horse:
quiet hours
hot showers
shuttle

Gorge on-site camping:
Showers limited
Party all night long
Walk-in

Anything else you could throw out there for the side-by-side comparison?

Wild Horse: restaurant/grill onsite. car in/outs (can leave and go to town for beer/groceries/breakfast). Downside: if you miss the shuttle or won't wait, it's like 2 miles away from the venue.

Gorge: General store onsite. Officially no car in/outs.

[chiapet]

That was amazing. However, I saw them at OSL last summer and they were nicht sehr gut. People thought I was nuts for all the hype I gave them after that 08 Sasquatch show.

Oh I see. Interesting, i've never looked closely enough to recognize positioning and stages.

What do the big Ween fans recommend I listen to? I pretty much know old school Pure Guava from start to finish but not much of anything else except a few songs off of Chocolate and Cheese.

Ween has to be holding this spot for someone else. Very odd seeing them as a headliner at a fest that has had R.E.M., The Cure, NINJA, Bjork and so on headline.

[fikus222]

It's probably just a hard ticket, like last year, and people were desperate for them after Wild Horse sold out.

Yup, we've got hard tickets and that is definitely good to hear that people wanted to pick up premiere last year.

[superdeluxe]

Some are saying that Monday's lineup has 3-4 less than saturday and sunday. Maybe some additions to be added? Ween comes off as the weakest of the headliners if you ask me..

[superdeluxe]

Bumbershoot always has at least one day of total BS bands too. Like Black Eyed Peas and a mainstream hip hop artist, no joke. Tread with caution.

Yeah...usually you will have one day with good mainstage acts (hopefully), and the other 2 days is adult contemp or top 40. That is when you can go to the smaller venues...

[chiapet]

Monday's lineup will be 3-4 bands shorter. The festival ends a couple of hours earlier on Monday night.

[faxman75]

That was amazing. However, I saw them at OSL last summer and they were nicht sehr gut. People thought I was nuts for all the hype I gave them after that 08 Sasquatch show.

I saw their APW set and loved it and then saw them headline at the Wiltern and was even more excited. The weakest set i've seen by them was at Lollapalooza 2008 and wasn't their fault it was the sound problems. They were still great though.

My obsession continues...new album soon too!

[amyzzz]

35 car reservations left...

[weeklymix]

Jeff (and other Coachella-folk going to Sasquatch):

I missed last year's but went 06-08. If you guys want to figure out some sort of camping group I would be very, very happy to help plan such a deal. I'd be driving from Colorado, we could all meet in Seattle and head east.

Just putting it out there, don't know if you guys already do something for this but I enjoy the company of this board.

i still dont see it being soundgarden. especially on a monday night

[amyzzz]

I'm so tempted to reserve a camping spot...argh.

[TomServo]

Ween plays a LOOONG set though - at least they did at Voodoo last year. They ended up playing simultaneous with Lenny Kravitz (IIRC, if not, it was one of the other headliners) on an opposite stage, and they outlasted the "major" headliner. George Clinton and P-funk did the same thing on another day (Eminem, I think).

But I'm not really aware of the stage setup at Sasquatch, to know if that's an option.

[chiapet]

weekly, that's what we've done in the past (camping tickets are per carload, so we tried to fill cars to economize on the cost). I believe a lot of us will be flying into Seattle and then trying to carpool east from there.

Maybe once tickets are back on sale we could start to get a list and figure out camping/car loads?

[sin213]

I'm so tempted to reserve a camping spot...argh.

do it! you know it'll be you, dlo, and a couple others comin from AZ.

me, mark, tommy and heidi are already in one car and camping at Wildhorse.

it'll be a blast!

[weeklymix]

Chia -

Great. I'll reserve a camping spot then since I'm driving and in the near future we can start figuring it out.

I will say that since the lady and I will be in a GTI that we'll only have room for passengers and not their stuff, I suppose that won't be too bad, though. The trunk is so small.

[StubbADubb]

ARG!

I paid this morning for this (Wildhorse) through my Paypal account but never got the Paypal confirmation and there is no record in my Paypal history of me paying.

Yet I got that email from Scott at Wildhorse reservations saying "Thank you for your recent reservation request to Wildhorse Campground.

However, reservations are not confirmed until payment has been received."

So did my Paypal go through or not? Because there are no refunds, I don't want to have to pay twice but I also don't want to lose my camping spot. I've emailed that Scott guy to get it sorted but haven't heard anything back.

Anyone having a similar experience? Is it because I paid through my Paypal account and not credit card? Normally, even if the funds aren't taken out of my bank account right away, I at least get the confirmation email...

[chiapet]

I think Joel is going too, so your car would be full? I have a camping reservation but no details figured out, so I can either take another car load or transfer my camping reservation to someone else. We'll figure it out later.

But! If people want to camp at Wild Horse and aren't sure we have enough spots, should grab them today.

Maybe once tickets are back on sale we could start to get a list and figure out camping/car loads?
It says for 4 people though. 6 or 7 [people could fit in my van. heh. I don't think they'll let me in with over 4 people. (assuming I decided to drive all the way there, which I guess I might not do).

[chiapet]

I will say that since the lady and I will be in a GTI that we'll only have room for passengers and not their stuff, I suppose that won't be too bad, though. The trunk is so small.

We'll figure something out. Since most of us are flying, we shouldn't have much stuff, and provided our arrival times sync, we can always shuffle people and belongings at the airport or somewhere near Seattle.

I bought both Premier Camping and Wild Horses so I have the option of either. Never camped at WH but it sounds great. Selling the premier will be a breeze if you get both, and you could probably net a profit if you wanted to be a punk :)

ARG!

I paid this morning for this (Wildhorse) through my Paypal account but never got the Paypal confirmation and there is no record in my Paypal history of me paying.

Yet I got that email from Scott at Wildhorse reservations saying "Thank you for your recent reservation request to Wildhorse Campground.

However, reservations are not confirmed until payment has been received."

So did my Paypal go through or not? Because there are no refunds, I don't want to have to pay twice but I also don't want to lose my camping spot. I've emailed that Scott guy to get it sorted but haven't heard anything back.

Anyone having a similar experience? Is it because I paid through my Paypal account and not credit card? Normally, even if the funds aren't taken out of my bank account right away, I at least get the confirmation email...

I got the same notice but paid with a credit card that definitely got charged so I'm assuming there's just a little lag on their end for whatever reason. So long as you got the confirmation email and print ticket etc, I wouldn't worry about it. I'm not anyway.

I think Joel is going too, so your car would be full? I have a camping reservation but no details figured out, so I can either take another car load or transfer my camping reservation to someone else. We'll figure it out later.

But! If people want to camp at Wild Horse and aren't sure we have enough spots, should grab them today.

lol...yeah, you're right. just read your post above mine and put your name in accidently. ;)

They do, but you have to pay extra for each person over 4 ($10 per night).

[guedita]

I'll have room for 2-3 more in my car/camping spot at Wildhorse, too.

[chiapet]

I think we have 4 or 5 people who've purchased camping spots already? This is going to be brilliant. If most of us are flying in late-ish on Friday, we really should find a way to meet up or caravan and camp next to each other.

i don't know if you'll want to drive there, amy.

i'm already driving to SF and dreading it. and the gorge is soooo much farther than SF even...

[boarderwoozel3]

Hey StubbAdubb,

If you go back on the Wildhorse website and login on the upper right tab, you can look at your order history and they tell you if your reservation is paid for or not. I just checked and it indicated that everything is copacetic.

[faxman75]

I know Holly (venturasgirl) also has a Wild Horse camping pass and will be driving up from So. Cal but i'm not sure if she is bringing friends or what she has room for. Karen (Karecares) I think also plans on going this year unless i'm confused. I'm guessing there will be at least a dozen of us if not more.

I also got a text from Micah (alligatorboogalo) today wondering about camping and who was going and stuff so I assume he's considering now as well.

[mentos]

wild horse now has one less camping spot available :)

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

I'll have room for 2-3 more in my car/camping spot at Wildhorse, too.

Lee (Passive) and I might be interested in this if you still have room.

[chiapet]

At this moment I would have 3 spots, but I'm waiting to hear from a few people to see if they need a ride/spot.

[StubbADubb]

WHew. Ok it worked. Scott at the campground got back to me and was nice enough to say if I accidently got charged twice that he would refund me.

Looks like the first Paypal payment just didn't go through. Anyway, success!!

[mentos]

so....drive my truck(filled with camping stuff) up from San Diego and pick up my buddy in San Fran on the way

or....

fly into Seattle with all my camping gear in my luggage, hope it arrives on my flight and rent a car.

[boarderwoozel3]

We're definitely going to need to revaluate the car situation once there's a clearer view of who's attending this shenanigan in a few weeks. Might be able to consolidate vehicles or avoid peeps having to rent etc.

But we sound covered.

It's an incredibly long drive. Most of us can't afford to take that much time off of work, to dive all the way, but it is a hassle to fly to camping. I try to put my tent into my carry on so that at least I'll have that even if my luggage is lost.

I'd fly and then drive the rental car on in to Sasquatch. Worse things than lost luggage can happen on a road trip. Plus, that's a pretty intense amount of driving before and after a 3 day fest.

[guedita]

Lee (Passive) and I might be interested in this if you still have room.

Cool. I'm reconsidering driving all the way there from CA, though and might do the fly and get a rental car thing, because my boyfriend might not be able to miss class for a full fledged road trip.

[boarderwoozel3]

Seattle to SF is ~13.5 hours if you're hauling ass.

[sin213]

yeah, long drive...

and its about 12 hrs to SF from PHX if you're hauling ass...

i'm definitely flying from PHX to Seattle, then driving from there.

[Ardentbiscuit]

Oh man, Sasquatch was so much fun last year! I might just go this year. I can't imagine Massive Attack at the Gorge. I might go into some kind of transcendental coma.

[fikus222]

There are a sh!t ton of lame ass OR and WA Staties who prey upon California drivers, so hauling ass is inadvisable.

[LooseAtTheZoo]

I'm buying my ticket tonight. How long is it still at 170 for a three day pass?

[amyzzz]

edit: nevermind

[superfiction]

Lee (Passive) and I might be interested in this if you still have room.

it would be good to see the two of you make it up here.

[mentos]

fly it is.
I'll have my camping gear shipped to my buddy in Seattle to hand off to me when I get off the plane.

So....next up
presale passwords anyone? where they be? I tried googling my butt off to no avail.

[Gribbz]

i cant see soundgarden getting added. my guess is they arent even rehearsing yet


I didn't think there would be any adds. Sweet.

[superfiction]

im sure 1077 will send one out soon

[boarderwoozel3]

I'm buying my ticket tonight. How long is it still at 170 for a three day pass?

Pretty sure it's in tiers by numbers, not any particular date. Like a rave.

[StubbADubb]

But you wouldn't have to RESERVE a space for the extra people once someone has already bought the car pass?

edit: nevermind

No, I think it said that you would have to pay cash at the gate for extra people not originally included in the 4.




And I also have to agree, haulin' ass in WA = watch out. Highway patrol everywhere, especially at night :S
