After 4 years of Sasquatch, I don't think I'll be going this year. After them screwing up last year and dropping a full day, and now charging some ridiculous prices for camping, it's just not worth it

Hope we get some more ideas of who might be playing soon. I would love to buy presale but the price with the exchange rate is looking a little high. I can't do both Sasquatch and Pemberton again this year unfortunately so I'll just have to wait until I have more info.

Refused are playing some festival dates in 2015. Depending on their schedule I could see them as one of the "heavy" bands this year.

We damn well better be getting Prince with that ridiculous price increase. I still don't think it will happen, but that would make that ticket price 100% worth it.

Twin Peaks are another band I could see making it onto the lineup. They're on tour now and just played Seattle but they're growing in popularity and the indication is that they will be playing more shows next year.

Especially for only $25, presale is not worth it. I would rather spend the extra $25 and know who is playing.

King Tuff is touring North America in the spring. Tour currently runs until April, no NW dates scheduled. Maybe?

Also, given their recent album release and the festival's tendency to book Neko Case, I'd say there's a decent chance of the New Pornographers this year.

Debating presale. When I looked earlier the pass was $325 and premier camping was $225 (no fee). Now the pass is $350 and the camping has a $27 fee added (plus $20 shipping). I'd obviously split camping with my friends but $700+ CAD is a lot for me to drop in one day.

They are playing the Punk Rock Bowling festival in Las Vegas Memorial Day Weekend. Given the the relative proximity of Nevada and Washington along with modern advancements in transportation technology, I consider them a plausible and fucking awesome booking. Edit: Rancid is also playing that festival. I don't think we'd get both of them, I but I consider either one equally likely and potentially awesome.

Rancid would be a pretty creative booking for the festival and I think it would go over pretty well! Looking more and more like I'm just going to have to wait for the lineup to buy. Too many of my pals aren't sure yet.

can someone explain why tickets are now 350, not 325 like the presale was supposed to be? did the 325 tier sell out already or something? so if we buy now, we're paying the same price as when the lineup comes out in February? or will those shady assholes just raise the price on us again at that time? and there's a $20 shipping charge. so if you split the cost of camping four ways, you're looking at ~$407 per person. AT LEAST. that is absurd. Bonnaroo and coachella are both cheaper and consistently have much more stacked lineups. how is that even possible? fuck, I really don't want to miss what would be my ninth sasquatch in a row, but this is pretty tough to justify

Probably because they're going to attempt to expand the fest even more this year. That's the only reason I can see for the price increase.

This is how I feel. Hopefully they put out an awesome lineup. Wondering what the Friday night will be.. are they still doing a rap/hip-hop artist? Could Run the Jewels headline?

Run the Jewels has to play, but I don't think they'll headline. If there's a hip hop headliner, I'm thinking Kendrick Lamar would be more likely, especially after his SNL performance a couple weeks ago. Possibly Wu-Tang, but not likely since they just played Bumbershoot.

I don't know anything about the geography of Washington but Lana Del Rey and Courtney Love are playing a show in Ridegefield on 5/22. Is Ridgefield far enough away from Sasquatch?

Ridgefield might be considered a Portland show, it's just north of Vancouver, WA. Honestly, that sounds like a lock for Sasquatch.
