It looks like Pemberton has deleted their Facebook page. Probably trying to hide from the torch and pitchfork wielding mob demanding their money back. At least Fyre Fest offered full refunds.
Fyre: "This is the biggest fuck up in music festival history." Pemberton: "Hold my beer."

The company is bankrupt, so the bankruptcy people are probably in control of everything now. Fyre still seems way worse though. Everyone already got to Miami on their own dime and then some went through a shit show on the island and others never even made it there. Plus a quick browse of the subreddit makes it looks like no one actually got a refund.

But most of the people who actually bought tickets for Fire were elitist douchebags who could afford to and (arguably) deserved to be ripped off. People who bought tickets to Pemberton were regular people like you and me. I'm assuming losing that money hurt more them more than the Fyre fest crowd. I have no personal beef with Ja Rule or any of the Fyre organizers, but Pemberton managed to hurt Sasquatch in the process of bankrupting themselves. That I cannot abide. Pemberton hurt my family and I'm glad it's dead.

Holy fuck! The people in charge of Pemberton's assets are literally deleting the festival out of existance. Despite being a total shitshow, I had some of my best festival memories of all time between the two I attended. Really sad to see it fall apart like this, but none of it comes as a surprise.

Who has two thumbs and booked a hotel in Porto for June 12-18 instead of June 5-11?
Trick question, bananas don't have thumbs.

Oh, who am I kidding? Just don't sleep. Fortunately I was able to find another place close to downtown that was available. Unfortunately the first booking was non-refundable so I'm currently on hold with hotels.com begging for some money back.

Totino Boy's Rampant Speculation with a likeliness rating out of 5
Childish Gambino (4/5) - After doing a super small amount of shows in 2017, he's primed to do a huge festival tour in 2018. Unless he's filming a movie or something, this could be very possible
Harvey Sutherland (2/5) - Awesome nu-disco/house artist growing out of the underground european scene. If he's doing a US tour, a tent set could be possible
Marie Davidson (2/5) - Less likely but I love the shit out of her. She's from Canada (Montreal tho) so geographically it could make sense! Her brand of analog-heavy techno might not have any name recognition in Sasquatch's demographic
KiNK (1/5) - Unrealistic wish list pick
Snarky Puppy (3/5) - If we can have Vulfpeck, we can have Snark Puppy
Daphni (4/5) - Dan Snaith's solo project is getting bigger and bigger. I feel like he could easily close the tent at this point
Dauwd (2/5) - Opener for Daphni!
Justice (4/5) - Had a minimal festival run in 2017 due to Panorama exclusivity deal, primed for a huge tour in 2018
Crazy P (2/5) - European disco/house band primed for a US breakthrough
Bicep (3/5) - These guys are blowing up like crazy. New record is a little to big room-y for me but they're great selectors
Sango (5/5) - Seattle-native producer putting out crazy Brazil-influenced trap beats. I find it crazy that he hasn't played yet
Dave B (5/5) - Seattle rapper reaaally blowing up right now. Sango produces a lot of his stuff. I'm thinking he's the next Mick Jenkins
Ibeyi (4/5) - New album out soon and they're KEXP-core. Pretty likely if you ask me
Flamingosis (3/5) - Awesome sample-based beats dude. Hasn't toured the PNW much at all so I'm thinking his festival tour might make its way up as he gets bigger
Masego (3/5) - Saw him at Upstream this year, was really impressed by how good a performer he is. He'd be an awesome addition
Sam Gellaitry (4/5) - Vancouver electronic dude. I find it weird that he hasn't played Sasquatch yet. I used to like his stuff more but at this point it all sounds too similar...
Poolside (3/5) - These guys are poised for a return to the festival scene with their new album out. I usually like their remixes/edits more than their original songs but these guys have some good taste
Soulwax (3/5) - New album out early this year and still no US tour. I would imagine their huge amount of analog gear would be a pain to ship out but c'mon Sasquatch!
Todd Terje & Olsens (3/5) - Full band with a new album? Dance party? Yes please
Jonwayne (4/5) - Is it really a Sasquatch experience if there isn't a large white dude yelling at me from the Bigfoot stage?
Blood Orange (4/5) - Here's to hoping Sasquatch books some of the acts from last year's 'leak'
Taphex Win (1/5) - A totinoboy can dream
Not a fan but I can see these happening Lil Peep/Pump (4/5) Kelela (if block party doesn’t snag her) (4/5) Wolf Parade late add (4/5) Zoolab tent DJ set (5/5) BROCKHAMPTON (5/5)
