sasquatch festival 2013

First off, after five years of Sasquatch Festival coverage, it feels bizarre to add an “s” after lineup. But as we know now, Washington State’s hallowed festival is now a split, two weekend affair. The first Sasquatch takes place during its typical Memorial Day slot on May 23 to 25. Then the second, separate festival goes down July 4-6. Both lineups are listed below. And it’s packer per usual. However, it leaves me feeling that if Sasquatch combined these into a single weekend, we’d have arguably one of the best festivals in the world (Coachella style). Even though that may be logistically impossible, this new split will certainly leave concert-goers missing out on bands from either weekend. Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10 AM.
