I've never been, so I don't feel personally aggrieved about any decline in quality, and I'm still looking for a regional Sasquatch alternative. Can’t seem to add a picture but lineup got announced earlier. Imo it’s not half bad It’s so nice to see Lizzo on the top line of anything. She well deserves it. I might think about grabbing a day pass for Saturday just for her, but there’s not much else there to get my attention the whole weekend.

If there is an actual opportunity to eat one of Professor’s pancakes then I’m all in. If the professor is there, the pancakes will be there. No fucking way I could get through a weekend like this without some fucking banana berry cakes at least.

Going to this fest would be like hooking up with a crack whorewith bad teeth who looks alright if she doesn’t smile, AFTER your beautiful wife died. I might go If you dim the lights and kinda squint, it doesn’t look bad. If I just get really wasted, I can pretend it’s my true love for a night or two. Of course I’ll probably feel really dirty after and we won’t talk about it again. But, next year. I might do it again.

Do they have a breakdown of who is playing which day? Because aftermarket single day tickets to festivals at the Gorge are a thing that exists. They haven’t said anything officially, but somebody over on r/Bassnectar claims to be able to confirm that all the rappers are performing back to back (presumably on Friday), which makes a lot of sense to me. In my mind, that makes Saturday-Sunday look something like this: Saturday: Somerandomsfromthebottom > Emancipator > STS9 (Sunset) > Santigold > Bassnectar Sunday: Somemorerandoms > Tom Morello > Gogol Bordello (Sunset) > Griz > Bassnectar Those are two solid main stage nights, in my opinion. Not worth $200, but like I said above, if I can get those two days for around $125, I’m all over it.

I can see Live Nation still putting this thing on even if it sells poorly, considering that they still put Sasquatch on for years of losses. Considering the size of the lineup and the types of acts (single person rap/EDM artists), this thing is designed to be low-cost and low-risk. I guess my point is that I would be super surprised if they cancel EotR before even getting a chance to grow it My biggest issue with this argument is the 2-night Bassnectar element. If he can’t prove that his fans will travel to see him for $300 per person between tix and camping (not counting transportation and all the other expenses that come with a 3-day fest) this thing is dead. If it was a 1 or even 2-day event I’d change my tune but it’s not. It’s a 3-day show that could be easily sold as a two-day event. That’s not nothing, The expense of this thing is higher than any of us think it is, as evidenced by the ticket and camping prices. LN knows how to market a single night event - just look at Arcade Fire. Given that they’re charging near-Sasquatch prices for a single-stage festival, all evidence points to a last-ditch cash grab. I’d be very surprised if they net any more profit than they did with Sasquatch 2018. So much of this. What this feels like to me is they had a one day mumble rap show and a two day Bassnectar show and decided, for whatever reason, to mash them together into one “don’t call it a festival.” If you take the shitty auto-tune rappers off the poster (i think they are all playing Friday anyway) and you have a fairly solid two day event. Sell me a ticket to that for $125 and I’m there, along with all the Bassnectar fans from around the country that you mentioned. I think they knew Uzi and Thugger wouldn’t be strong enough to sell on their own and thought they could force us to pay for all three days.

]Nah, this thing is gonna die in its crib. Even if it sells enough not to get cancelled (which it won’t), they won’t have a second year. I guess we’ve reached the edge of the rainbow

I went to see how much camping was for shits n giggles and this message popped up on JiiiiveNation: Is that a standard thing now or are they just giving everyone a heads up that they know they’ll have to drop prices to get anyone there? I think they put it up to help justify they’re self-endorsed scalping programs so they can charge more for in demand tickets. It will be interesting to see if it works the other way when sales are low, but I highly doubt it. I’m have a strong feeling this will end up getting cancelled. Of course, I also had a string feeling Lastsquatch was going to sell out. So, what the hell do I know?

You are not crazy. Once you get past the shitty auto-tune rap, the lineup is fairly solid for two days on one stage. I just don’t think it’s worth what they’re trying to charge for it. See the thing is I am actually a huge uzi fan so if i can find a ticket for 150 i’ll go. I understand. Honestly, I was willing to pay up to $150 myself. I just can’t justify paying $700+ for the weekend. If they end up cutting a deal on Saturday-Sunday only, I might reconsider.

In the wake of this new news I am back everyone! And thinking about going to this. Am I crazy. You are not crazy. Once you get past the shitty auto-tune rap, the lineup is fairly solid for two days on one stage. I just don’t think it’s worth what they’re trying to charge for it.

2 passes + 1 premier camping come to $704.95 after fees. I think that’s gonna be a No for me, dawg.

Tom Morello's solo album features Bassnectar and Vic Mensa. Considering it isn't Sasquatch where cool collaborations rarely happened (remember when Jack Black and Kyle Gass game out to perform "Asshole" with Beck?), maybe there will be some collaboration! I literally almost replied to your other Tom Morello comment to bring this up, but didn’t want to distract from the sweet dig against the “90s Lolla vibes.” Bassnectar has also collaborated with Gogol Bordello and Dorfex Bos that I know of, so there is definitely more opportunity for cross-act appearances.

They confirmed on Twitter a few minutes ago that it will be mainstage only. Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide.

Really it's gonna depend on ticket prices. Really this. I think they intentionally kept the lineup small to keep ticket prices down. I feel like ticket price was the #1 complaint LN heard about Sasquatch, so I’m sure that was a priority for them when they put this together.

The reaction to the Twitter post all social media posts of the lineup is almost unilaterally negative. I would not be surprised if this thing gets cancelled in a month. 1. The social media reaction to every Sasquatch lineup for the last 5 years was overwhelmingly negative to, so that doesn’t mean anything to me. 2. The majority of people who were tracking it at this point were probably Sasquatch vets expecting Sas 2.0, which this was never going to be. 3. The tickets are certainly going to be a lot cheaper than Sasquatch was and that is going to work in its favor. 4. Lists look better when they have at least four points.

So 7 artists per day (counting Bassnectar twice). They definitely don't need more than one stage. Has anybody found ticket pricing info yet? I haven’t been able to find any pricing yet, but I’m guessing something similar to Watershed or Paradiso, in the $150-175 range.
