Sasquatch is a held annually at the Gorge Ampitheater in George, Washington. Founded in 2002 by Pacific Northwest-based concert promoter Adam Zacks, the festival has since become an extremely popular crossroads for alternative/rock/indie/hip hop bands. In an interview with the Seattle Weekly, Zacks described the birth of Sasquatch:
"Sasquatch was an idea born on a hunch that there was untapped demand for a certain kind of festival that catered to the eclectic tastes of music enthusiasts. It started in 2002, which was shortly after a number of the touring festivals had petered out and the beginning of the wave of regional festivals that started with Coachella and now is a dominant force on the music landscape, with Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, etc."
The festival lasts for three days, and people often camp out to partake in all the festivities. Recently, the lineup was announced. Headliners include My Morning Jack, Vampire Weekend, Massive Attack, Pavement, Ween, and MGMT. For the full lineup go to http://www.sasquatchfestival.com/#/lineup.
