IMO this is a great lineup and I think I prefer the 2 day festival.
So do these bands only play the one huge stage at the Gorge? IMO that seems like way too big of a space for acts like Grizzly Bear and Neko Case to perform.
Sasquatch Music Festival announces their lineup for 2007.

Last year they played on all three stages: the big one, the one to the right by the food stands, and the one to your left when you walk in. Personally, I’m a little let down by the line-up… I think I expected bigger names after last year’s billing of Beck, Ben Harper, Sufjan, Shins, Death Cab to name a few…
yeah… this is fake
im pretty disappointed with this years line up, but that may be because last year was just too great to live up to…
This lineup blows! It cant even compare to last year. C’mon add some bigger names in their seriously!
i’m so disappointed i could cry. last year was fabulous so i can’t believe it could change so much and for the worse. i’m not counting on them adding big names. i went to lollapalooza last year and none of the late additions were big names with the exception of my morning jacket.
In my opinion, I was anticipating a great lineup and was let down big time. If you compare it to the other big festivals like Coachella and Bonnaroo it really is pretty weak. The 2006 lineup for Sasquatch was at its apex but it didn’t even come close this year–this year has the worst lineup in Sasquatch history. I am even a fan of Bjork and Bboys but the lineup needs a few more big names.
Fuck you, this lineup is for the fucking birds. Last year’s lineup blows this years out of the water. Thanks for making a shitty lineup and not giving the pacific northwest a big name festival worth remembering. The promoter can suck a fart out of my ass.
Beck sucked ass last year…sorry guys but I’ve been going to Sasquatch every year for four years and this is BY FAR the best total line-up I’ve seen. Last year my boyfriend and I spend the whole drive home discussing how it would probably be the last Sasquatch for us. Death Cab rocked but the whole rest of the day was a disappointment.
Bjork? Are you arguing with Bjork, AND the Arcade Fire? Actually it’s the smaller bands that are waaay better this year than in the past. Looks like I’ll have to get there early rather than just showing up for the last three.
Hopefully everyone else will have your crappy attitudes and force them to sell tickets at a discount for the rest of us.
Huge dissapointment. We’ve attended Sasquatch every year since 2003 but it looks like this year we’ll be skipping. I don’t understand how this lineup is so weak when last year’s lineup was FULL of big names and the Saturday and Sunday were sold out. Its a bummer.
its not about having big names. its about having good music. Last years line up was packed with good music. Shins,Matisyahu,Ben Lee, Rocky Voltolo. Those all werent big names back then, but they are all talented musicians and their music is amazing.
And even the big names were amazing like Death Cab, Harper and Decemberists. I’ve previewed most of the small names this year and they arent very good. This year is such a let down. I cant belive they let the Beastie Boys cover.
eat my arse
The list is definetly lacking the ‘big names’ of last year but I would argue that there is still a lot of great music.
Beastie Boys (Mostly Kick Ass)
Interpol (Kick Ass!)
Tokyo Police Club (cool)
The Thermals (Kick Ass!)
The Hold Steady (cool)
Ghostland Observatory (cool)
Grizzly Bear (cool)
Neko Case (cool)
Helio Sequence (cool)
So I guess I would call it a decent line up but could certainly use a little improvement.
There are a few that I missed (Arcade Fire for one- way kcik ass!) but yea comment of needing more stil stands.
GIVE ME ART BRUT AND I WILL BE HAPPY!
Umm yeah, completly disapointed by this line up. I have gone to every sasquatch festival since the beginning, and even the first one with only one stage and like maybe 10 bands was better than this line up…the only ones i would like to see this year are Micheal Franti and Spearhead and the bestie boys…Franti is absolutly amazing, but i think they might just be shooting for a different crowd this year, at least thats what it looks like to me.
Posers need not apply. Sasquatch is for the off-beat, the unknown, the under-the-radar, the local bands. This lineup is solid and lives up to everything the festival stands for. If you’re looking for big names, head to Coachella with the rest of MTV nation. Do some research on this year’s lineup. There is some great music to be heard here.
bboys are the only band i will go to see(yes i will go)but i wish it was a 3 day show like last year,and i wish they could have got the butthole surfers to play im sure there will be a few more big names on the list before too long.
