I love the idea of the tent just having music when it used to have comedy. Having a nice shaded place to watch music during peak heat of the day would be awesome.

Why build 2 separate ATMs when the braille doesn't make it any more difficult to use So that means a blind person would have to use an atm meant for a vehicle? I think your research is flawed. I think the point is that all ATMs have the braille on there. The vast majority of ATMs are not drive thru ones, so why make special ones without the braille? Just unnecessary effort.

I have nothing to add other than I was waiting to meet people one year and heard them playing that Narwal or whatever stage that doesn't exist anymore and wandered over and it was a rad time. Looking forward to seeing them for longer this time hopefully!

Alright I'm trying my best not to be a turbo-noob and have searched this and the other thread for this topic I promise. How do I get into the National? I tried unsuccessfully in 2014. Their music is good on paper between the lyrics, instrumentals, etc, but I honestly just can't help but fall asleep when listening. On their new album, Turtleneck stood out to me as an exciting, interesting song. Then after that it's right back to snoozeville. At the very least, Bloodbuzz Ohio has some extreme personal weight for me so catch me on the hill crying for that. Albums? Singles? Interviews? My personal favourite way to listen to them is walking around downtown Vancouver at night, preferably kind of drunk. When it isn't miserably raining out, I can walk home from downtown and I will often throw them on my headphones and make the 30-ish minute walk home after a night out, usually air drumming. I like the lyrics and the way it goes with the music. Also this is the first song of theirs I really got into because a friend put it on a mix CD for Sasquatch 2010. It's not on any of their albums so I wouldn't expect them to ever play it live these days, but they also opened their Vancouver show with a B side from Alligator, so anything could happen.

Mine worked fine for camping. Just select your number of tickets, then the next page had the camping options and star parking.
I was on the livenation site, not ticketmaster though.

Survey (schedule) says that was indeed the Narwhal. I think 2014 was the only year they had it? They had it in 2013 & 2015 too (and maybe 2012), but they called it something different each year. One year it was Uranus and I don't remember the other name off hand. I'm pretty sure it was called the Mane Stage one year. Which was the dumbest fucking name possible.

That was a really good year too. I was up close at De La Soul and it was okay, I’m glad for nostalgia porpoises I got to see them. De La Soul was so bad, I left to go see White Sea and she ended right as I was walking up, even though there was still like 15 more minutes on the schedule. I was briefly saddened but then I did went and saw other good shows.

Well, I guess Upstream is gonna be hurting this year isn't it? I heard they lost $20 million last year, I wonder how deep Paul Allen is willing to go into his pocketbook... This seems like an insane number. Pemberton lost less than this and they had to pay for Pearl Jam and The Killers. That lineup last year couldn't have cost more than a few million to book. Even if they sold zero tickets I would be surprised if the whole thing cost $20 million to put on. Totally baseless analysis complete.

There's usually a presale code a day or two early. I would get on that. This shit is going to sell hard. Presale Thursday.

I wonder if they decided to scrap the comedy this year and put that money somewhere else. Could be! I'd be kind of choked I loved some of the comedy, but with this lineup I will be pretty busy with bands all day, and my general rule of thumb is bands over comedy at Sasquatch.

A little birdie told me that Snacks is going to be on Cheryl Waters's show on KEXP this morning. So tune in around 10 and probably expect the announcement shortly thereafter. But davers said by 9! If you're talking about the reddit thing it looks like the knitting factory concert is Alt J on April 25th so it has no relation to Sasquatch, just a coincidence.

Hi guys, I’m back. I’m hungrycanuck, I like shows and stuff. I’m hungry because I haven’t been able to find good poutine since Pemby fest fell through I find it baffling that most Americans say they can't find decent poutine in America. It's fries cheese curds and gravy. America loves all that stuff, just put it together. That being said the gravy can't be like, sausage gravy that you guys put on biscuits.

So I was bored and I have no life (or was I bored because I have no life?), so I dug through the lineups we got crossover counts to see how they stack up with the lineup leak. Here's what I found (actual#/reoprted#): Shaky Knees (2/4): David Byrne Japandroids Uhh, the National?

the Eagles coach is from the town just north of Bellingham Canada? Apparently jokes from 20 pages behind have already been made.

Eagles or patriots? or does nobody here care? I don't really care but rooting against the Patriots seems to be the right thing to do. Also, the Eagles coach is from the town just north of Bellingham so I guess I root for him? I think I just like having an excuse to day drink and eat food that is not good for me haha You mean Canada?
