That undercard sure dissipates into obscurity pretty fast, but overall that looks like it will be a great time! Depeche Mode and The Cure alone would bring me down if I could afford it.

Switch, I hope you didn't read what I wrote as sarcastic 'cause it totally isn't! I would be there in a second if I had the money. I'm just super bummed that I don't, and that I'll have no vacation time left by then. (Though the quitting option and using unemployment to fund a trip isn't too far-fetched of a plan) At first I didn't think you were being sarcastic and then I started to read it like that--like you were making fun of my proposal to sleep on the floor. I started to wonder if you were trying to tell me in a sarcastic way that nobody would want to go through all of the trouble to secure money to go all the way to Austin just to sleep on the damn floor. Then I was embarrassed for a little while. Haha. It's all good! I wish you could come, I always enjoy hanging out with you!

$225 for the ticket and that is the final price (no hidden fees)

Yeah, the undercard gets a little overwhelming to read after a bit. The bottom turns into a Christian festival. I am super happy with the top though. No Cloud Cult? They were either fucking with me or they really are coming to Texas in October but aren't playing ACL.

Because you touch yourself at night. (And also camping.)

More people = more revenue. If Sasquatch is going to attempt to compete with other festivals they're simply going to have to charge more. Sasquatch will always have roughly 30,000 people. Every other festival on earth is able to expand year after year.

I have been saying it for a couple years now but the Gorge should turn the old parking lot area that barely gets used into another stage area. I know you won't have the beautiful view but they could put a huge stage over there. They would have to reconfigure the main gate somehow though.

ACL also added a second weekend this year, so double the ticket sales.

I think that undercard is really good. I know a lot more on their undercard then I did when sasquatch's lineup came out.

Wow. I'm really excited about this lineup. It's a little top heavy, but I'm sure there are tons of bands lower down that I'll discover and really enjoy. Either way. LIONEL MOTHERFUCKING RICHIE!!!! Yeah, if you're interested in coming, lemme know. We can discuss couch squatting. My apartment is not too far of a walk from the festival gates

According to Grimes, she's not actually playing the festival.

Actually, that got retracted and she deleted the tweet saying she wasn't. Tis the season for Grimes false alarms.

So basically she's breaking up with herself, and retroactively unplaying her entire tour.

The lineup release video is pretty cool, minus the Beatles wannabe song. The bats under the Congress bridge are a must see in Austin.

I'm going to soft rock out to Lionel Richie so hard.
I have not seen these bats that you speak of so this must happen while we are there.
