Sasquatch! has shown its cards and the 11th annual version of the music festival at The Gorge in George looks good from here. Good? Actually, it looks like a doozy. Beck, Jack White, and Bon Iver will headline the four-day festival taking place over Memorial Day weekend (May 25-28), and the rest is an impressive cast that seems to go on and on: The Shins, The Roots, The Walkmen, St. Vincent, Feist, tUnE-yArDs, Charles Bradley, The War on Drugs, Beirut, Alabama Shakes, Mogwai, Little Dragon, Shabazz Palaces and scores more.
Portlandia also plays the festival, and speaking of Portlandia, so do Blitzen Trapper, Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside, The Helio Sequence, Blind Pilot, M. Ward, Wild Flag, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, STRFKR and the aforementioned Shins. Geez. Now that's representation we can get behind. Tickets go on sale Saturday, February 11th at 10am.
In the meantime, catch up with the full list of acts here and/or take in this dramatic A/V rendering.
