It looks like we’re in for another phenomenal event at Sasquatch! 2013 at the Gorge Amphitheatre.

The Northwest festival has announced its 2013 lineup. The unveiling of the lineup came at Sasquatch’s launch party, which took place Monday night, February 4th, at Seattle’s Neptune Theater. The party featured musical performances from Built To Spill, Cody ChesnuTT and “A Very Special Surprise Guest” who turned out to be Seattle chart topping artist, Macklemore.
