For all you festival hoppers out there, Washington's Sasquatch! music festival, at the stunning Gorge Amphitheatre, just announced its lineup for Memorial Day 2015, and it's an impressive mix of top hip-hop, indie rock, psych, punk, pop, and lots of random stuff in between.
The big names include Kendrick Lamar, Robert Plant & The Sensational Space Shifters, Modest Mouse, Lana Del Rey, Ryan Adams, Of Monsters and Men, The Decemberists, Tame Impala, St. Vincent, Flume, Spoon, James Blake, Chromeo, and Hot Chip.
For those who just can't hang with a baking desert fest, Sasquatch! is on the slightly cooler Columbia Gorge, three hours from Seattle. You can "camp" for $149.50 per vehicle (I did it once — it meant popping a tent on the grass next to your car). And if you're making a long trip out of it, you can rub yourself in mud in nearby Soap Lake (a town that once attempted to make the world's largest lava lamp).
