The Official 2008 Sasquatch Lineup has been announced!!
More than likely a good 15 bands will be added, and I would say 2-3 bands may cancel… hopefully M.I.A doesn’t bail out this year…

This year has a pretty intense lineup, featuring many bands in which have played the Sasquatch festival in the past.
Headlining bands:
The Cure, R.E.M, Death Cab, The Flaming Lips UFO show

[This show has been refered to one of the best shows you will see in your lifetime, and The Flaming Lips are voted number 16 on The Rolling Stones’ 100 bands you must see before you die].

Along with the headliners we have a few other mainstage bands:
Modest Mouse, M.I.A, Flight of the Concords, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Michael Franti & Spearhead & The Breeders.

Wait a second though… No CAT POWER!? No Helio Sequence… No Minus the Bear!?

Cat Power

I am hoping a few more are announced before March 8th, when tickets go on sale.

Last year a few bands were added last minute, such as Patrick Wolf, The Long Winters… That was also the day after M.I.A cancelled… so they had to do something.

Now I also hear Mars Volta is a band they are trying to get, to pair up with The Flaming Lips on the main stage… I suppose we are just going to have to find out, eh?
