SASQUATCH! 2008

If you aren't able to swing the other big festivals going on this year, maybe this one will get you going. The SASQUATCH! Music Festival of Washington State has just announced the line up, the dates, and a pre sale. It's from May 24-26th (Memorial Day Weekend). Here's the line up:

R.E.M. / The Cure / The Flaming Lips U.F.O. Show / Death Cab For Cutie / Modest Mouse / M.I.A. / Flight Of The Conchords / Rodrigo Y Gabriela / Michael Franti & Spearhead / The Breeders / Built To Spill / The Hives / The Kooks / Tegan & Sara / Ghostland Observatory / Ozomatli / The New Pornographers / Blue Scholars / The National / Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks / Cold War Kids / Beirut / Rogue Wave / Okkervil River / Fleet Foxes / Kinski / Mates of State / Sera Cahoone / Crudo (featuring Mike Patton & Dan The Automator) / Battles / Destroyer / Dyme Def / The Blakes / Pela / Jamie Lidell / The Cops / Dengue Fever / Siberian / Say Hi / White Rabbits / David Bazan / The Little Ones / "Awesome" / Dead Confederate / The Heavenly States / 65daysofstatic / Grand Archives / Vince Mira with the Roy Kay Trio / Joshua Morrison / Throw Me The Statue / J. Tillman / The Shaky Hands / Thao Nguyen with the Get Down Stay Down / Matt Costa / The Cave Singers

Pretty sweet huh? Pre sale begins on March 8th here. On that weekend single day tickets are only $56.50 and three day packages are $154.50. After the 10th it's $66.50 per day. Or if you've got money simply falling out of your pockets you could buy a pair of VIP super tickets(only sold in pairs) for $750 per person granting you V.I.P. access, beer and wine, a buffet, a poster, a t-shirt, a bag, and private seating next to the sound board. Again this line up is pretty good, and if it were not for the fact that it's on the opposite side of the United States from me, I would definitely consider going.
