This year marks the 13th year for the Sasquatch! Music Festival, and patrons from across the Pacific Northwest flocked to the gorgeous Gorge out in eastern Washington state. All for three days of music, uncontrolled substances and of course, future #TBT posts. Though the lineup has been criticized in comparison to other years, this year’s lineup had something to offer every music nut. OutKast, The National, and Queens of the Stone Age were the capstones for each night. However, other acts like Chance the Rapper, Haim, Cut Copy, and Parquet Courts were just as engaging. The Gorge itself was named one of the top amphitheaters for its stunning location and massive size. Despite the lineup, some people come just for the amphitheater.
