I still think Coachella is better. Beyonce is better than any of those headliners, there are a lot of cool rare acts at Coachella I haven't seen, and I like the Yuma and dance music a lot more than anything Sasquatch has to offer. Not to say Sasquatch is bad, I think that lineup is probably my second favorite of the year so far (in the USA).

The lack of good edm and dance acts on the lineup is odd. In 2016 they had Todd Terje, Jamie xx, Disclosure, Caribou and Four Tet.

Squatch managed to have a lineup that's full of white dudes none of which is Eminem. That alone deserves some sort of commendation. actually a pretty diverse top 20 or whatever aside from having not enough female artists Yeah, it's really not bad aside from no women at the top until Neko Case.

I just got sad calculating the cost of actually going to Sasquatch Is it bad? I haven't looked into it yet. When I've looked in the past it was always the travel to the fest location that was daunting.

Ticket plus camping is basically $400. R/t flight is basically $400.
Add in other necessities like doggy day care and poorly made edibles and this is one expensive Memorial Day.

Reminder that you'll want to camp at Wildhorse and not the Gorge itself.

It is a little weird that the top line is entirely white men. They're usually one of the better ones at getting some diversity on their top lines. I guess they make up for it a little bit in the undercard though.

I'd totally go to that if it wasn't a camping festival.

Do we know who's in Byrne's backing band this tour? I'd be surprised if he was throwing out an all-male whitewash.
Besides - some of Sasquatch's best friends are women!

Feel like a fair amount of people might go to this instead of Eaux Claires?

Do we have a full lineup for that yet?

Post by iasm on Feb 5, 2018 13:45:42 GMT -6
Nah, but it feels like Eaux Claires if it had 2x the budget.

Reminder that you'll want to camp at Wildhorse and not the Gorge itself. Why is this? Camping on sod instead of poky straw, run by nice people and your stuff much less likely to be peed on or stolen, free showers, also Wildburgers.

It is, but worth it. If you come in with 4 in your car it's $50 each for the whole weekend. The Gorge campground works out to $15 each, but does it have free coffee? I don't think so.

Very fair. The amenities at the Gorge do not sound all that great. I guess the other downside to Wildhorse is having to drive into the fest every day.

There's a free shuttle from the campground, it's only a mile.
I know I'm sounding goofy at this point but honestly one of my favorite things about that fest was camping at Wildhorse. It's nice to possibly have an excuse to go back.

Oh nice. For some reason I thought that it was farther away. That makes it seem like a no-brainer.

I could probably drink $35 worth in coffee every morning. It's impossible to get enough sleep when you're camping out there.

I still think Coachella is better. . See, there's always one... make it two, and another 2 or 3 ex boarders who factually broke it down last weekend and agree that coachella still did the best job with exclusives and rares. at this point the only gripe people should have is price point, which is understandable. but it's not worth mulling over again. sasquatch is good and i might think about it if SK doesnt happen but also im keen on never camping for a fest ever again if i can help it.

I mean Coachella always gets the most exclusives but also both lineups are just okay gang.
