The lineup for 2015’s Sasquatch! Music Festival will be announced tonight at a special launch party up in Seattle. Ty Segall, Tacocat, and the Young Evils are performing, and they’ll announce all the bands performing at the actual fest, which is taking place at the Gorge Amphitheater on May 22-25—Memorial Day weekend.
With a bit of guesswork, we’ve been able to make some uninformed and totally unsubstantiated predictions as to who will be playing at Sasquatch! this year. These guesses generally come from bands’ existing tour schedules and a suspicious lack of any Seattle-area dates. For example, Sleater-Kinney would be a great pick to play Sasquatch! this year. But it’s likely not going to happen—they’ve got three sold-out shows in Seattle happening earlier in May.
So, here are some stabs in the dark as to who will be playing this year’s Sasquatch!—leave your predictions in the comments if you like.
