You can always tell when winter is finally starting to wind down once two different things happen. First, once SXSW-mania starts to take over the music biz, warmer temperatures must be in sight. Second, a good majority of the North American music festivals begin to announce their lineups as those spring showers begin to creep closer and closer. The latest festival to cough up their bands is the now-supersized Sasquatch, which has expanded to three days. Taking place on May 24-26 at The Gorge Amphitheatre, we were quite pleased to see a somewhat different selection of performers than at the other festivals, including R.E.M. and The Cure. The full lineup is listed below, and don’t forget that tickets go on sale March 8 at noon.
