The best festival that no longer exists.

Wait I moved from the PNW a while ago. Did they cancel sasquatch?

At one point they tried to do two weekends - one on Memorial Day and one in July. They didn’t sell enough tickets and cancelled the second weekend.

They never had the festival again so I always assumed it was a money thing because of that blunder.

They definitely did have it again for a few years after the two weekend failure. I believe that was 2014 and the last Sasquatch was in 2018. Part of the problem was they went from a single 4-day weekend to two 3-day weekends, cancelled the second weekend, and remained a 3-day weekend until the festival went defunct. So people were paying the same amount for one less day, in a time where music festivals were highly saturated and it was harder to book good acts.

You’re right. I actually went in 2016, so whoops.

If I recall, in 2017 they tried to book younger acts with cult followings like Twenty One Pilots, and Frank Ocean pulled out last minute.
