Sasquatch! Festival announces lineup
The initial lineup for the sixth annual Sasquatch! Music Festival was released today, and it's looking pretty good so far. Among the acts set to perform during the two-day festival are Bjork, Beastie Boys, the Arcade Fire, Manu Chao, Interpol, M.I.A., Spoon, Neko Case, The Hold Steady, Grizzly Bear and many, many more.
Tickets go on sale Saturday March 3 at 10 AM via Ticketmaster. They're priced at $50 per day that weekend and then get bumped up to $65 thereafter. There's also something called Solid Gold Super Tickets that go for $500 a person, but we'll have to wait until the Sasquatch! site goes live before knowing what they entail.

At the risk of sounding oh so jaded, aren't these festival shows starting to feel like teen television melodramas where the same eight cast members take turns ******* each other?I realize that there are only so many indie rock acts of a certain stature, but how excited can you get for Bjork, Beasties or even Arcade Fire at this point?
