Sasquatch! Music Festival Tickets

The Sasquatch! Music Festival is scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend, May 23rd - 25th, and will feature headliners Kings of Leon, Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction and Ben Harper and Relentless7.

Sasquatch! is held annually at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Wash., and has been known to emphasize indie rock in addition to an eclectic array of more mainstream artists. Beyond the headliners, this year a wide range of acts such as Erykah Badu, TV on the Radio, Santigold, The Decemberists, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Gaslight Anthem, Girl Talk and many more will all be showcased over the three-day affair.

The festival grounds feature 3 stages?the Sasquatch! Main Stage, Wookie! Stage, and Yeti Stage?and two tents for periphery acts, i.e., the Dance Tent and the Comedy Tent. This year's Comedy Tent boasts big name Comedy Central acts Demetri Martin and Zach Galifianakis, as well as up-and-comers People's Republic of Komedy and God's Pottery. In the Dance Tent, featured artists include Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, Crytal Castles, and Chromeo.

Organizers Live Nation and Adam Zacks are trying their hand at a three-day event once again, and tickets are available for individual days or three-day value passes that can include camping, bringing the community feel that other festivals such as Coachella and Bonnaroo boast.
