sasquatch eases your coachella blues

16343157 77878F561B MStill crushed that Rage Against the Machine managed to cause Coachella to sell out before you could arrange your trip to Indio? Nursing the wound that is the conspicuous absence of a Seattle stop on the Arcade Fire’s spring tour? A certain hirsute yeti pal from east of the mountains might help with one of these problems, if only you’re willing to spend Memorial Day weekend at the Gorge (in George, WA).

That is, pack your tents, sunscreen, and party supplies: the preliminary lineup for this year’s Sasquatch festival has been announced. The big news is that they’re scaling back to two days with Bjork + Arcade Fire and Beastie Boys + Interpol at the top of the bills. The full (but still incomplete) list is after the jump.

    That’s easy: Saturday is the day.

    Although, I wish Grizzly Bear would switch with Minus the Bear.
