Advance three-day passes for Sasquatch! 2010 have just gone on sale via the music festival's website. There are a limited number of passes available, priced $170 plus fees, and they will remain on sale through December 31, 2009, or until supplies are exhausted. Memorial Day Weekend 2010 (May 29-31) will mark the ninth time that Sasquatch! has been held at The Gorge Amphitheatre, WA.
It has also been confirmed that recently reunited alt-rock band Pavement will be playing this year's festival. 2010 will mark the fifteenth anniversary of the band's highly regarded album Wowee Zowee, and their reunion is certain to be welcomed by fans and critics alike. Like their contemporaries the Pixies, Pavement's popularity and influence has only increased since they disbanded, and there is sure to be a surge of interest in their appearance at the festival.
Previous artists to appear at Sasquatch! have included R.E.M., Coldplay, Kanye West, Beastie Boys, Nine Inch Nails, Wilco, and The Cure, and the 2010 festival is sure to boast a similar range of talent once the full line-up is announced on February 16, 2010. Visit the Sasquatch! website for further details, and for full details of the advance three-day pass offer.
