Props to the folks over at the Sasquatch! Blog for all their hard work…

According to Dustin over at the Sasquatch Blog!, the lineup will feature the likes of 55 bands. Currently, there are 54 confirmed bands. The Sasquatch Board has a “lineup by date” thread.

No word on the status of the Mars Volta, who were rumored in the initial lineup we posted. But if the situation is anything like it is with Bonnaroo and Rothbury, you can count on them being announced eventually… They would make #55..

Pitchfork is reporting that the Flaming Lips will debut their new film Christmas on Mars during Sasquatch!

  1. If this is anything like last year, more bands are going to be cropping up, a few this month, another ten or so next month and then a trickle leading into the show, with a few cancelations.

  2. Hey there!
    http://www.msbands.com just posted an update as well, It is on the front page, I think it has a couple that aren’t listed.

  3. Sounds like a decent show, but I can’t justify the cost for tickets for the show and a flight, plus a rental car to drive what seems like a few hours from the nearest airport. If I lived in the area, i’d maybe go.

  4. When do tickets go on sale?

  5. First weekend.
