The 17th annual Sasquatch! Music Festival kicks off this weekend (May 25th-27th), at the Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington. Sasquatch! has once again brought us an impressive lineup to rock our way into Memorial Day.
The line-up is anchored by indie and alt-rock, but also embraces hip-hop, electronic, funk, and other genres. This year’s headliners include a few Sasquatch! veterans like Bon Iver, Modest Mouse, and The National. Other exciting acts include Spoon, Tyler, The Creator, Vince Staples, Grizzly Bear, and Jai Wolf.
