Sasquatch! Music Festival, as opposed to its namesake, exists. Today, as proof of this, its organizers announced their spectacular 2018 lineup. The concerts will be held during the weekend of May 25th to 27th at 754 Silica Road in Quincey, Washington, where they have been since 2002, when Sasquatch! established itself as one of the premier festivals of the Pacific Northwest.

The Gorge Amphitheater—jokes about it being simply ‘gorge-ous’ aside—overlooks Washington’s Columbia River, and is a very pretty spot. The festival’s producer and creator, Adam Zacks, wanted to create a show worthy of the Gorge Amphitheater’s majesty. Since 2002, he has consistently been able to bring the talent necessary to compete musically with what the Amphitheater does architecturally.

To match the Gorge Amphitheater’s natural beauty, heroic sunsets and massive stage, Sasquatch! invited Bon Iver, David Byrne and Tyler, The Creator to headline. Although those who listen to Talking Heads will have to brush up on Bon Iver and Tyler, The Creator, these artists need little introduction. Modest Mouse and The National will also feature, along with a long list of names big and small.

Unfortunately, pre-sale tickets for the 2018 show sold out in November. A new round of ticket sales will begin on Saturday, February 10th at 10 a.m. (PST). Find them here.

Conrad Brittenham: My name is Conrad. I am one year out of college and pursuing a career in writing and journalism. I studied literature at Bard College, in the Hudson Valley. My thesis focuses on the literal and figurative uses of disease in Herman Melville’s most famous works, including Moby-Dick, Benito Cereno, and Billy Budd. My literary research on the topic of disease carried over to more historical findings about how humans tend to deal with and think about the problem of virus and infectivity. I’ve worked at a newspaper and an ad agency, as well as for the past year at an after school program, called The Brooklyn Robot Foundry. All of these positions have influenced the way I approach my work, my writing, and the way I interact with others in a professional setting. I’ve lived in London and New York, and have always had a unique perspective on international cultural matters. I am an avid drawer and a guitarist, but I would like to eventually work for a major news publication as an investigative journalist.
