Sasquatch! Music Festival, the Memorial Day weekend event that has graced George, Washington’s Gorge Amphitheater since 2002 is back with its 2016 lineup. The four-day event will be held from May 27-30 and some of the standout names in this year’s lineup include The Cure, Florence & the Machine, Disclosure, Major Lazer, A$AP Rocky, Sufjan Stevens, Alabama Shakes, M83, Grimes, Jamie XX and Chet Faker.

As has been done in the past, the festival built the suspense behind its lineup announcement by holding a Launch Party at The Neptune Theater in Seattle. Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires performed at the event, with a surprise special guest appearance by M. Ward. SassyBlack of Thee Satisfaction provided DJ duties. With sufficient anticipation created, the lineup was finally revealed at the end of the evening.

Single day tickets are not available for the festival, but 4-day passes are available starting at $350.00.  There are three separate payment plan options, and the tickets are on sale now, with all the purchasing information and details available through the festival’s website.
