I seriously hope this means the line up comes out tomorrow.

[MassiveChemicalPunk]

It better! I think its going to be a good line up for some reason. Not amazing, but good enough to consider it.

[MarkO]

Don't compare it to Coachella. Coachella will get the big reunion/rarely tour America bands but Sasquatch has a solid card and is better in some ways (camping, lack of bs rules, setting etc)

[superfiction]

its true. sasquatch is always solid

[rage patton]

From the rumoured bands so far this year... I am kind of underwhelmed. Pretty much all the Sasquatches have had amazing line ups. Especially 06 and 07. But this year, as of right now, doesnt seem to compare.
However, there are usualy like.... 40 bands at Sasquatch right? We have like 10 confirmed/basically confirmed. I am sure they are going to be some wicked surprises.
Either way, I am going this year.

MarkO, you went the last couple years... do they usually update the site this early? Or could this mean the line up is comming tomorrow?

[superfiction]

it ususally comes out mid february early march from what i remember

If not tomorrow, certainly this week.

[rage patton]

YES! That is awesome news.

Question about last years tickets for anyone who went. The first round of tickets went for cheaper last year. How long was that available? Until they sold out? Or was there a time limit?

[MarkO]

Expect a dozen or more PNW bands; that's pretty much a given every year.

IIRC, 1 or 2 weeks.

Sorry.... but whats PNW?

[MarkO]

Pacific North West.

From what I remember, last year tickets progressively got more expensive the closer it got to the concert date.

[rage patton]

Pacific North West.

Ahhh right right right. Yeah, that makes sense. So does bumbershoot.

Get the supertickets. It cost me $1000 but it was well worth it. When Interpol played last year, I somehow ended up hanging out with MTV Canada and bypassed everyone to get to the stage.

[rage patton]

Hmmm... no line up yet. I was hoping it was going to be there when I woke up. I guess not.

[sweetsassy]

here ya go:

spread the word.

[quartermass]

I'm there.

[MarkO]

Reg'd.

[rage patton]

I think it is kind of rediculous Sasquatch hasn't even announced its dates yet...

[rage patton]

So the rumours are that Sasquatch may very well be not only a 3, but possibly a 4 day event running Saturday-Tuesday. 4 days doesnt seem to make sense to me... but a 3 day event would make a lot of sense.
Rumours are that none other than the legendary Jack Johnson may headline one of these days. The other rumour is some British band that apparently a lot of people love will headline a day...

It's Memorial w/end. Always.

[rage patton]

Well yes I know that, but as I just posted... we don't know how many days it is this year. I kind of want it to be 3 days, but I am also gonna be breaking the bank in order to make it to Sasquatch at just 2 days.

[MarkO]

I can almost guarantee you it will be 2 days. '06 was an aberration.

If they get Radiohead, a 3 day event will be a success. The whole 4 day thing came from a band, The Cops, posting they are playing Sasquatch May 27 at the Gorge. It is most likely a typo... but other sources are saying it will be a 3 day event.

[MarkO]

I read them all earlier. It's all hearsay and if I posted on that blog that Bowie was playing, would you take that as given too ?

[rage patton]

Whether or not they have a third day, I will only go if someone amazing is headlining. Right now, I just want a line up. My bet is Wednesday.

[fsm10]

My money is on next Tuesday (19th).

Sasquatch! Announces Dates! 3 days!
