Wow. This is how you make a music festival lineup. We need some jam-friendly bands to round out the Wookie stage and this festival would be one that I'd consider skipping Summer Camp 2006 for.
Oh wait, I already bought tickets for Summer Camp 2006 in Chilicothe, IL.
If you're planning on going to Sasquatch 2006, please contact me. I'd love a review and some photos for the site...

***More Artists To Be Announced! ***
House of Blues Concerts is proud to present this year’s Sasquatch! Music Festival with an expanded; power-packed lineup. The Sasquatch! Music Festival in its fifth and best year yet will take place Memorial Day Weekend. Already the official opener to summer for music fans, The Sasquatch! Music Festival is becoming a certified monster of a musical event: this year features a bigger band line-up, more sought-after artists, and more days of rock than ever before. The festival has evolved its unique laid-back, homegrown, regionally known, camp-out, chill out and rock out style into a full blown three day rock n roll extravaganza, complete with camp-outs, canyons, sunsets and three stages. This year’s kick-off to the summer tour season features over 40 bands — all set against the landscape of the majestic and magnificent natural wonder and grandeur of the Gorge Amphitheatre along the canyons of the Columbia River in Washington State.
The line-up for this year’s Sasquatch! Music Festival is not only impressive, but also diverse, covering highly regarded chart-toppers as well as up and coming stars of the future. With Nine Inch Nails (Friday May 26) Ben Harper (Saturday, May 27) and Beck, Death Cab For Cutie, Queens of the Stone Age, (Sunday May 28); the caliber of bands is history in the making. Near 40 bands strong, other artists confirmed for the weekend include Iron and Wine, The Decemberists, Neko Case, The Tragically Hip, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Flaming Lips and The Shins among many others. Sasquatch! is Sufjan Stevens only scheduled festival performance of the summer. (The complete line-up as of 2/21 is listed below)
From critical to college favorites, the line-up is as diverse as it is phenomenal as is the feel and flavor of the festival. Since its inception in 2001, the goal of the festival has been to provide a place that’s plentiful with diversity, originality and creativity. Innovation and artists integrity are key and steadfast. Rules and hard-nose regulations are not. The Sasquatch! Music Festival is an event where the patrons are treated with an uncommon level of respect. The attendees are treated like one big family. There are no boundaries just a common celebratory love of music, and a sense of excitement coupled with the grandeur of the great outdoors, setting a prevailing tone of inherent tranquility and camaraderie.
The Gorge, the glorious natural backdrop and amphitheatre is a hugely popular vacation destination for thousands. It is the 9-time winner of Pollstar Magazine’s Award for North America’s Best Outdoor Music Venue. Coldplay’s powerful closing performance (Sasquatch! 2003) was a personal triumph for singer, pianist and guitarist Chris Martin, who savored the moment as one of the highlights of his career and extolled The Gorge as “the most amazing place we’ve seen.
