Bummed you didn’t get tickets to Sasquatch!?
Well, you can always try Craigslist and pray to the ticket scalping gods in hopes of getting a good deal on tickets.
Or, if you want to get a taste of Sasquatch! without making the trek to the Gorge you can catch some of the undercard bands in Seattle prior to Memorial Day weekend. Sure some of the local shows for the undercard bands are sold out too, but buying a scalped ticket outside of a club or theater is sure gonna beat the cost of gassing up your car for a roadtrip east of the Cascades and the high-scalping fees for Sasquatch! tix.
Here’s a list of 13 Sasquatch! acts you can try to see while they are in town prior to Sasquatch! in case you weren’t lucky enough to snag a ticket to the Gorge’s season opener:
Smith Westerns — Tonight @ The Crocodile
The Decemberists — Friday @ The Paramount *
The Young Evils — Saturday @ Showbox at the Market, March 12 @ the Crocodile
Young the Giant — Sunday @ the Tractor Tavern*
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis — Feb. 25*, Feb. 27* and March 5* @ Showbox at the Market
Mad Rad — March 10 @ Neumos
Dan Mangan — March 11 @ the Sunset Tavern
The Globes — March 12 @ Showbox SoDo, March 26 @ The Crocodile
Gold Panda — March 23 @ Nectar Lounge
Foster the People — March 26 @ The High Dive
Pepper Rabbit — March 30 @ The Crocodile
Twin Shadow — April 23 @ The Crocodile
The Head and the Heart — April 29 @ Showbox at the Market
* Indicates sold out shows
This is not a definitive list of Sasquatch! bands playing Seattle before Sasquatch! If you know of any I missed please do chime in with a comment below and it’ll get added to the list. Thanks.
Twin Shadow at the Crocodile on 4/23 too.
Thanks Eli. I should probably add something asking people to mention additional shows in the comments since I’m sure I missed a few. In fact, I think I’ll do that right now.
