America’s Sasquatch! Music Festival (the one that spawned that amazing communal dancing video last year) has announced another mammoth line-up for its 2010 return. Set in the striking Gorge Amphitheater a couple of hours out of Seattle, the three-day gathering is oh-so-indie once again.
After their visits here in March, Pavement and Massive Attack share headline honours on day two, while My Morning Jacket will no doubt treat the Saturday masses to several hours of splendour. The final day’s line-up promises a touch more fun than your average Monday, with Ween, MGMT and The New Pornographers on board.
There’s not much here we wouldn’t get in Australia, but having it all on one weekend…
