15th annual Sasquatch Music Festival announces lineup
The lineup of the annual Sasquatch Musical Festival, which has taken over the Gorge Amphitheater every Memorial Day weekend for the last 15 years, has officially been
announced
.
Some of this year’s headliners include post-punk legends the Cure (who previously headlined in 2008), Florence and the Machine, Disclosure and Alabama Shakes (pictured above). The four-day lineup is rounded out by Sufjan Stevens, Major Lazer, M83, Grimes, A$AP Rocky, Kurt Vile, Purity Ring, Allen Stone, Yo La Tengo, Vince Staples and others.
Though predictions of an appearance by the
recently reunited LCD Soundsystem
didn’t pan out, the Sasquatch ’16 lineup
does
boast a number of artists who have made stops at Spokane venues within the last year – Beat Connection, Noah Gunderson, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Telekinesis, Tacocat, Shannon and the Clams, Deep Sea Diver and Joseph are all scheduled to perform.
Festival passes are now on sale at
sasquatchfestival.com
and cost $350. Daily schedules have yet to be released.
