Sasquatch Music Festival, which we have not mentioned before has a big announcement today in regards to their artist line-up. The Mars Volta has been announced as an addition to the well-stacked line-up. This news can be credited to Jambase.
Sasquatch Music Festival is now in it's seventh year and continues to expand and grow each year. The festival takes place over Memorial Day weekend and runs from May 24th thru the 26th.
Memorial Day weekend is packed with festivals, including Summer Camp and DEMF. Brandt and I will be at DEMF 2008 during that weekend.
Sasquatch Music Festival is held at the The Gorge Amphitheatre located in George, Washington. This venue is well known and has been selected for Best Outdoor Music Venue by Pollstar Magazine nine different times. The amphitheatre rests above the Columbia River gorge and is known for spectacular views and nearly year-round clear weather. Also interesting to note is that this amphitheatre also plays host to the annual Vans Warped Tour as well as the Christian music festival - Creation Festival.
Tickets for the event go on sale this coming Saturday - March 8th at Noon. More info pertaining to ticket sales can be found by clicking this link: Sasquatch Ticket Info
Other more popular artists that are already confirmed for the festival are R.E.M., The Cure, The Flaming Lips, Death Cab for Cutie, Modest Mouse, and Michael Franti & Spearhead.
We will have further information this week including a full listing of the current line-up.
