April 14, 2015 For Immediate Release PICKATHON 2015 ANNOUNCES FULL LINEUP! WEEKEND PASSES GOING FAST! HAPPY VALLEY, OREGON; JULY 31 - AUGUST 2 ! ! Last week, Pickathon, the annual gathering for true fans of music, food, craft beer, wine, and nature that happens in Happy Valley, Oregon from July 31st to August 2nd, announced the first batch of performers for this year’s lineup. Today, it’s time for the full reveal! Pickathon is extremely excited to welcome artists like Cloud Nothings, Thundercat, Giant³ Sand, and Ex Hex to the festival, while welcoming back the likes of King Tuff, Heartless Bastards, Jessica Pratt, and Freakwater. See the full lineup for this year’s Pickathon below (new additions in bold). Because of the purposefully intimate nature of Pickathon (only 3500 passes, making for the least congested festival environment in the country while delivering the absolute best in music), weekend passes are moving fast.

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 Pickathon Online: http://www.pickathon.com/ https://twitter.com/pickathon http://instagram.com/pickathon https://www.facebook.com/pickathon http://www.youtube.com/user/pickathon http://pitchperfectpr.com/pickathon-2015/ For more information, contact: Jacob Daneman | Pitch Perfect PR - [email protected], 773-271-6844 .
