Pavement to Play Sasquatch! Festival

Sasquatch! is, once again, returning to the Pacific Northwest for Memorial Day weekend. No surprise there. There aren't too many other details available yet but the little bit of news that we do have is, actually, huge: Pavement is on the lineup. Yes, that's right. After years of a rumored reunion at Coachella and after a few lucky New York fans thought that they'd get to witness the band's first licks back in Central Park next September, Sasquatch! has pulled off a bit of a coup.

Our money is that the rest of the lineup is going to be pretty killer as usual. And even if it wasn't, Sasquatch! would probably still be worth going to for the scenery alone -- it's held in the belly of Washington's Columbia River Gorge, at one of the most jaw-dropping places in the world where there's a stage, rigging and overpriced concessions: the Gorge.

Discounted three-day festival passes will go on sale Saturday, Nov. 7 at 10AM PT, through the festival website. The exact dates of the festival are May 29-31 and the complete lineup will be announced formally on February 16.

In the meantime, to relive a favorite memory from last year's Sasquatch! (even for those who weren't there), revisit the YouTube video of the dude who single-handedly started a dance revolution. Just think: next year, that could be you.
