My wish list artists this year would be: -Justice -Ghostland Observatory -Anderson Paak -Gorillaz -Todd Terje If any of these make it I will be super pumped. I saw Terje when he played at Marymoor recently (it was awesome) and felt like The Gorge much better suits him instead of Marymoor where everyone is sitting around their picnics eating expensive cheeses. I was at the Marymoor show and the Portland show and the Portland crowd was so much better. People literally all ages were getting super weird and dancing their faces off That's awesome to hear! Makes me wish I caught the Portland act for sure. I thought Todd Terje and The Olsens put on a great show but was disappointed with the crowd not reciprocating the awesome vibes that the artist was putting out. Glad to hear people were getting their boogie on else where. Here's to hoping he will be at the Gorge.

The more I dig into the lineup the more I am getting excited for the weekend. Looking forward to having the best weekend of the year once again up at Sasquatch. I'm lucky that no one in my group backed out and everyone is remaining pretty optimistic. Furthermore looking on social media and I see a lot more excitement then I did when it was first released giving me more reason to believe that this will not be canceled. Even if it pulls in about 10,000 I can't see LiveNation pulling the plug as from judging the lineup, it looks like their budget had anticipated this. Either way there is good music on this lineup and if the crowd is the same size as last year that will just leave me with more room to get my boogie on. Hope you all will be doing the same. I was thinking this same thing. As long as they can sell close to as many tickets as they did last year, there will be no need to cancel. Like you said, I think they planned for lower sales by booking a budget lineup and keeping prices the same. If they charge twice as much as it's worth, they only need to sell half as many tickets. It's a terrible business model, but Live Nation is a terrible business. In the event that it actually does sell well, they will have a budget surplus to book a bigger lineup again next year. Completely agree with you on this and your views of Live Nation as well. That is astute analysis in regards to budget surplus and is actually funny in the sense that it very well could be the fan base of forever 21 poop emojis that will help add to that surplus and bring Sasquatch (fiscally) back to the level of our expectations in years forward. What a time to be alive.

Since I made the decision to come back to Sasquatch five years ago, there literally has not been a single day of my life that I haven't been excited for it. The day after the festival ends, I start looking forward to the next year. When things are rough in my life and I don't know if I can go on, I look forward to Sasquatch and it literally gives me a reason to live. Today, for the first time in years, I am not excited for Sasquatch and I don't know how to handle it. This is seriously effecting my ability to function today. One day at a time. I'm with ya. Sasquatch is something that is marked on my calendar every year. I know that I will still have a great time this year even with the lack of quality lineup. Being up there gives me great joy and happiness to be with my friends and feel disconnected from the real world if only for a weekend. Most of the time that is enhanced by incredibly gifted original artists, which I contend can still be found on this lineup (if you look hard enough). I'm a big believer in you get what you put in so as hard as it is for me to swallow this I will be up there Friday morning ready to have the best weekend of the year. I hope that you can too!

I really can't believe how little the lineup is. I've never been cheated out of so much money by them! I agree with this. Say what you will about the quality of musical artist on the lineup (subjective but lots of BS in my opinion) but to drop a lineup of only 55 acts for 3 day festival is a bigger slap to the face then 21 pilots.

That being said very excited to see Rufus still on the lineup plus addition of Kaytranada is a nice touch. There is some good in this lineup if you keep looking through the bullshit. Trying to approach this glass half full.

There are only TWO....TWO.. artists on this lineup that I can get *genuinely* excited about, and that is the worst feeling ever. Our country sucks and now my fest sucks. Man thought getting some sleep might wash the stank off this lineup but damn. In heinsight maybe we should've known better about the fake lineup being too good but I didn't think it would be at the opposite end of the spectrum like this. Honestly beyond the quality of the lineup (only about a handful of acts that I'm ailed about) it just feels super light. I know it's only three days but there is no way that this music will be played three days on three stages with this. Sigh. I bought pre-sale and I know that I will still have a great time but damn. What could've been.

We all agree, Sasquatch being "saved" is a necessity, right? Absolutely. When you have such a remarkable venue with such a unique landscape you don't ever let something like that die. I get it's a money issue but they did the right thing and instead of scrapping it they reduced costs, simplified, and used that savings efficiently on a smaller but stronger lineup. Maybe last years shortcomings did more to point Sasquatch higher ups in the right direction then any previous years of higher sales could have. Side note: I am totally partial though as words can't fully describe the joy that Sasquatch brings me. This lineup has me beyond excited and can't wait to spend my favorite weekend of the year taking all this shit in. Going to be unreal.
