Pickathon 2015 is less than two months away, and it’s time to get planning. The festival takes place July 31st - August 2nd in Happy Valley, OR, near Portland. That’s why today, Pickathon is announcing their complete stage schedule and putting a very limited batch of single day tickets up for sale. The festival is also pleased to introduce the newest lineup additions including Kamasi Washington, Liz Vice, The Easy Leaves, and Jackson Boone. Now comes the difficult decisions of which artists to miss in favor of other ones . . . oh wait, that’s just every other festival under the sun. At Pickathon, nearly every artist performs twice (and in some cases, three times), so you rarely have to worry about making those tough calls. Also, we challenge festival-goers to find a more idyllic setting to see your favorite bands perform in. Pickathon has it all: Large scale festival stage with surreal tension fabric art enveloping it? Check. Sweaty night club environment for late night madness? Check. Magical concerts in the middle of the woods? You betcha. The festival even enlisted the architectural design students of Portland State University to recreate the Treeline Stage following the success of a recyclable stage made entirely of shipping pallets that they both designed and constructed in 2014. There is not a better place to see (and not miss due to scheduling conflicts) your favorite artists than at Pickathon.

Today marks the first day that single day tickets are on sale and we are certain they will sell fast. While we encourage you to fit as much Pickathon into your summer as possible, we understand that sometimes life does not cooperate. Purchase your weekend passes (which includes free onsite tent camping), single day tickets, parking & speciality camping passes, and Thursday early entry passes below.

PRAISE FOR PICKATHON:

“Pickathon is an admirably decentered, medium-size festival with an emphasis on communal, progressive values — from the bands, which all play twice, a welcome festival rarity (and some of which camp out, too), to the sustainability-minded dining options, to the quirks particular to the earthy Pacific Northwest (craft beers, washing stations with free Dr. Bronner’s soap, $30 for 30 minutes of acupuncture).” - The New York Times

“The festival goes to great lengths to create a unique environment for attendees, from operating without corporate sponsors to creating seven distinctive performance venues to host Pickathon's rock and folk-inclined lineup.” - USA Today

“The festival brings an impressive roster of indie talent to Pendarvis Farm for a relatively intimate event. The festival offers a more family-friendly vibe, including an entire schedule of events for kids, and food trucks that rival any food festival (or festival food) options.” - Time

“This may be hard to believe, but it’s an annual festival whose 3500 attendees contribute almost nothing to area landfills.” - Billboard

“Pickathon’s ethics work in conjunction with these stunning aesthetics. The Pendarvis family and organizers’ unparalleled commitment to sustainability distinguishes them from every other music festival in the world.” - Paste
