Every year, the Sasquatch! Music Festival invades George, WA's Gorge Amphitheatre with an enormous batch of indie and indie-minded musicians. It's become an annual tradition to say that each edition of the festival is the biggest yet, and 2012 looks no different with a jaw-dropping batch of performers.
Sadly, there are no planned appearances from Coachella reuniters At the Drive-In or Refused, but this is a stacked lineup with star power like Jack White, Beck and Bon Iver alongside the likes of Kurt Vile, Beirut and Explosions in the Sky. Fans of Carrie Brownstein will get a double dose with appearances from Wild Flag and Portlandia Live. Add eclectic electronic music from the likes of Purity Ring, Apparat and so many others as well as hip-hop representation from Thee Satisfaction and Childish Gambino, and this is one busy weekend.
The full lineup is as follows:
Jack White, Beck, Bon Iver, Pretty Lights, Tenacious D, The Shins, Beirut, Girl Talk, The Roots, The Head & The Heart, Portlandia, Feist, Silversun Pickups, Metric, Explosions In The Sky, The Joy Formidable, Mogwai, Nero (DJ), M.
