The annual Sasquatch! Music Festival at the beautiful Gorge Amphitheatre on the scenic cliffs above Washington's Columbia River has been a nice weekend getaway for British Columbia music fans since it launched in 2001, and this year looks like it will be no different.

Bjork, Arcade Fire, Beastie Boys and Interpol are just four of the acts confirmed to play on the fest's three stages on May 26 and 27. Neko Case will also return, since her set last year was cut short after three songs due to a massive hailstorm. Let's hope that the weather doesn't get freaky again this time.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on March 3 and will cost $55 U.S. per day until March 4. They're $65 thereafter. A one-dollar charitable donation charge will also be applied.

On-site camping will be available from May 25 to 27 for $40 per vehicle per day, though discounted three-day passes can also be obtained.
