Following the announcement of Coachella's 2012 lineup, Sasquatch! is the latest big-name festival to unveil their unending list of performing rockbands. At the top of the bill loom Grammy-approved beard-folk super-duperstars Bon Iver, newly-solo Third Man mogul Jack White, and everyone's favorite song-and-dance Scientologist, Beck.For some extra PNW flavor, the liveshow version of the indie-celebrity-festooned sketch-comedy series Portlandia will hit the Sasquatch! stage. And series heroine Carrie Brownstein will also perform a high-profile set with her pretty-awesome-really rockband Wild Flag.
Elsewhere on the bill? Try: The Shins, Blitzen Trapper, Beirut, The War on Drugs, Kurt Vile, Cass McCombs, M. Ward, Feist, Metric, The Joy Formidable, St. Vincent, Tune-Yards, Purity Ring, Zola Jesus, Active Child, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Little Dragon, SBTRKT, STRFKR, Grouplove, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, Spiritualized, Mark Lanegan Band, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, the Cave Singers, Shearwater, Gardens and Villa, Here We Go Magic, Dum Dum Girls, Craft Spells, I Break Horses, Lord Huron, Yellow Ostrich, and more and more and more.
Sasquatch! arrives, as always, for Memorial Day Weekend; taking over the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington from May 25-28. All manner of details at the Sasquatch! website.
