Pickathon is an annual festival based in Happy Valley, Oregon, widely regarded as one of the premiere independent music festivals in the United States.
It’s one we’ve been watching from afar for years. Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2018, the festival is going bigger than ever with a lineup that’s straight-up envious.
Planning a trip to the States? Be sure to stop by Pickathon this August, one of America’s biggest independent music festivals.
Heading the lineup this year are Broken Social Scene, Shakey Graves, and Phosphorent. Further down you’ll catch Gizzfest favourites Kikagaku Moyo, plus Jen Cloher bringing the Aussie representation.
Pickathon 2018 takes place August 5-8 in Pendarvis Farm, Happy Valley OR. Grab your tickets here.
