Kendrick Lamar, Run The Jewels And More To Headline Sasquatch Festival

It's looking to be a long, hot summer for Kendrick Lamar. In addition to an already full docket, the Compton rapper has been announced as a headliner for Sasquatch, the major music festival that takes place in Quincy, Wa. over the Memorial Day weekend. Kendrick will be joined by his TDE cohorts Ab-Soul and Schoolboy Q, as well as Action Bronson, Bishop Nehru, El-P and Killer Mike as Run The Jewels and more. The non-rap parts of the lineup are headed by major acts like R0bert Plant, Lana Del Rey, Modest Mouse, St. Vincent and James Blake.

Though there has been no official word as of press times, all signs point to a new album from Kendrick Lamar. His heavy festival schedule over the summer seems to confirm the speculation drummed up in recent weeks about what he might have up his sleeve. A solo record from Lamar in 2015 would come on the heels of a 2014 that featured solo efforts from both Q and Soul.

Run The Jewels dominated the last half of last year, with their second self-titled effort in 24 months. They are currently working on Meow The Jewels, the remix album anchored by cat sounds that was initially promised as part of a crowd-funding effort. Action Bronson is gearing up for the release of Mr. Wonderful, his major label debut album scheduled for Mar. 24.

Tickets for the festival are available now.
