Coachella vs. Sasquatch!

So, here is the question you have to ask yourself, If you can cram bigger better bands into 3 days, why wouldn't you save your self the extra day of hooker voice, dirty camping face, the time & the weather gamble?

Heres the deal, I have been to both festivals, each offering their own amazing set of traits including amazing venue, great adventure and even better entertainment. However the year has come where only one may be attended, line ups are looking pretty standard in comparison with Coachella one upping Sasquatch as per usual.....

How is it that Coachella can blow Sasquatch out of the water even while they are trying to offer their biggest party yet for their 10th anniversary? Adding on an extra day does not mean you automatically win in comparison....... Yes there are many similar titles added to each bill, but can you really compare the emo cry fest that you would receive from watching Death Cab to one of which you would be crying from a bang over from rocking out so hard after a night filled with Kings of Leon & Black Keys back to back? I really hate to be this guy, I know its no fun choosing a festival especially after they have both been so good to me over the years but, Im sorry old friend, I suppose you and the beauty of the gorge have lost this battle & happy anniversary by the way.
