Thank goodness this year’s Sasquatch! Music Festival was expanded to three days: they are going to need the space. R.E.M. is one headliner, and the Flaming Lips are coming too, UFO in tow. The Cure, Modest Mouse and Death Cab for Cutie will also be topping out the bill. The Flaming Lips will also debut their long-awaited film Christmas on Mars at the festival, Billboard.com reports.
Paste favorites The National will be there, as will Four to Watch artist Thao Nguyen playing with the Get Down Stay Down. Flight of the Conchords will be bringing the funny, and don’t forget to check out Crudo, a new project by Mike Patton and Dan the Automator. Throw Me the Statue will catch some stage time, as will Okkervil River, the New Pornographers and The Breeders.
Also not to miss are, well, we could do this all day; check out the full line-up below. Tickets go on sale March 8, with a spike in prices two days later, and then again the week of the festival. Buy early, pack light and don't forget the sunscreen.
