Kendrick Lamar New Album: To Drop Before Rapper's Sasquatch Performance?
Although fans still do not know when Kendrick Lamar's newest album will drop, they at least know what musical festivals to head to if they want to hear his new music.
The rapper is a listed performer for the upcoming 2015 Sasquatch! Festival, which will take place during Memorial Day weekend (May 22 through to May 25) at the Gorge Amphitheater in Quincy, Washington. He will headline the festival with Robert Plant & the Sensational Space Shifters and Modest Mouse.
Other musical performers include Lana Del Rey, James Black, Spoon, Ryan Adams, the Decemberists, St. Vincent, the New Pornographers and many more. This will be the festival's 14th edition.
"The Sasquatch! community has spoken," said Live Nation Seattle President Jeff Trisler in a statement reported by the Rolling Stone. "They continue to support the traditional Memorial Day Weekend event with great enthusiasm. Unfortunately, the second weekend was not embraced. We felt it was better to cancel the new event now and give everyone time to make alternative plans for the Fourth of July weekend. Going forward, Sasquatch! Music Festival will be at the Gorge Amphitheatre on the weekend the fans want: Memorial Day Weekend only."
Tickets will go on sale starting Saturday, Feb. 7 at 10 a.m. PST via the Sasquatch! Website. A full list of the performers can also be found on the website.
Lamar will also co-headline with Avicii on July 4 at the United Kingdom's Wireless Festival. Drake will be opening up the festivities on July 3. Nicki Minaj and David Guetta will close the event on July 5.
Earlier this week, Lamar gave a peak into his highly anticipated album when an Instagram picture of the rapper and Snoop Dogg surfaced. The picture had the caption, "Work.!! K. Dot," which suggests that the duo could be working on new music together. However, it is unclear whether or not that this collaboration would show up on Lamar's album or Snoop's.
