The Sasquatch! Music Festival announced its 2010 lineup tonight with a launch event at the Crocodile club in Seattle. Sasquatch! has been held yearly (since 2002) in the Gorge Amphitheater in George, WA throughout Memorial Day weekend, and features a venerable who's who in indie rock.

This year's announced lineup:


A-Trak, Avi Buffalo, Band of Horses, Booka Shade, Boys Noize, Broken Social Scene, Brother Ali, Camera Obscura, Caribou, City and Colour, Craig Robinson, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Dam-Funk, Deadmau5, Dirty Projectors, DJ Z-Trip, Dr. Dog, Drive-By Truckers.

Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Fool’s Gold, Freelance Whales, Fresh Espresso, Fruit Bats, Garfunkel & Oates, Girls, Hudson Mohawke, Japandroids, Jets Overhead, Kid Cudi, Laura Marling, LCD Soundsystem, Local Natives, Luke Burbank.


That's the alphabetized listing certainly. A record of headliners would appear one thing more like this: Pavement, My Morning Jacket, Ween, Substantial Attack, MGMT, The National, The Maintain Steady, Vampire Weekend, Public Enemy, Broken Social Scene and LCD Soundsystem.

Among the bands with Portland connections: YACHT, Portugal, the Man, Nurses, Quasi ... and Pavement also gets some neighborhood points, as frontman Stephen Malkmus calls our fair city household.
