Rhapsody Does SasquatchListen along to this post with our Sasquatch Festival Lineup 2012 playlist.

The next great multi-day, zillion-artist summer music festival of 2012 is soon upon us: Sasquatch, that annual Pacific Northwest bacchanal that this year stars Jack White, Beck, The Shins, St. Vincent, The Roots, Alabama Shakes and pretty much anyone else you can think of, takes over the Gorge Amphitheatre in lovely Washington state over Memorial Day Weekend, May 25-28.

Plus, in addition to that rad lineup, you'll probably see us! Rhapsody will rule over our own little enclave on the festival grounds all weekend, handing out free stuff and hosting exclusive, intimate artist performances you'll subsequently be able to watch via Rhap TV should you deign not to make the trip in person. To whet your appetite, here are some past videos we've done with Sasquatch 2012 performers, from Wild Flag to Araabmuzik. We're looking forward to making more new friends this year. We hope you stop by.
