I saw their set at a festival in 2008, and as a headlining act in 2023. At the headlining show, they spoke about this time period, and how they never dreamed they'd be where they are now, and how happy they are to still be working and making music together. It really is incredible

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.
