Modest. Mouse. Headlining.

What were we expecting? We were expecting headliners. Modest Mouse hasn't put an album out in almost four years; they haven't put out an album that doesn't fucking suck in more than ten years. They played at 4:00pm three years ago when they actually had a record to support, and they sounded like shit then. The same is essentially true of Death Cab. Wilco is a nice touch, but Wilco is the go-to headliner for festivals that are picking over scraps in terms of headliners. Foo Dr. Garbanzohters just fundamentally blow.

The list of undercards is too sad to even pick apart. Pink Martini? Oh, nice one, really, that's what the kids want.

I'm not saying the headliners are good by any stretch of the imagination, I'm just saying that Coachella and Bonnaroos headliners are awful as well

but yeah no justification for the undercard being booked by NPR. Pink Martini is the biggest wtf I've ever seen on the lineup (and I was there when HIM played...)

The headliners at Coach and Roo may not be incredible, but come on. I'd rather be disappointed about Arcade Fire - who I fucking hate - than feel like I'm being condescended to when they try to pass Modest Mouse and DCFC off as headliners.

but coachella is 3 times the size of Sasquatch. For them that's probably just as condescending as MM and DCFC is to us

I agree. sames goes to Kanye and KOL, of whom I'm not big fans of but would still see live if they were headlining. I know Coachella has a bigger budget, but the disparity in value between theirs and ours is startling. Especially considering every band on the first row/headlining has already done the festival before. pretty boring.

K-os is a cool act and when I last saw him in Boise, put on a good show. Not sure how he'll fit in at Sasquatch though...was definitely hoping for some more hip hop acts but who knows, maybe they'll surprise us with a few more. Doubt it though

Can you really not be bothered to use punctuation or basic sentence structure?

Look: No Arcade Fire, no Radiohead, and no, they aren't going to add Soundgarden at the last minute this year either. Any adds to come will be either comedians or bands you've never heard of.

Did you notice that this post has been made at least once per page over the last twenty pages? Please retreat to your Twitter if you want to further bitch about the headliners.

As fun as it was to have a crazy amount of traffic for one night, let's go back to having forty posters on this board; I can't keep up with all the whiny bitches who signed up last night.

How do you feel about Modest Mau5 headlining, Mr. Cool Ice?

Coachella's undercard is also much stronger with bands that Sasquatch could have easily afforded.

Pink fucking Martini... I just don't get it. Their target demographic is exactly who will not be as Sasquatch. I know they probably won't be on the mainstage, but still. I fail to see any logic behind that choice aside from maybe hoping to sell a bunch of single day tickets to middle aged people who otherwise have no reason to be there, and who have the disposable income to pay 80ish bucks for a drive into the middle of nowhere for one band. my money is that they play the same day as Sharon Jones so the old folks will have at least one more reason to go.

I had never heard of Old 97's, Fitz and the Tantrums, Archers of Loaf, Jenny & Johnny, Stornoway, or pretty much anyone on the 2nd half of the poster aside from The Bronx, Das Racist, Noah and the Whale, Twin Shadow, City & Color, K-OS and Young the Giant.

HG, I know you're really pissed off about the lineup, so I'm trying to show some compassion by not gloating here. And I know you want to leap on me for using the word "gloating" when you clearly don't think Modest Mouse is worthy, but look at it from my perspective: My favorite band is headlining a day at Sasquatch. How much you think they suck doesn't matter; I'm pretty elated about that.

That said, however -- turns out most of my friends feel the way you all do, so I may have a hard time assembling a group to go this year. May wind up being just me and my sister.

You not knowing who Archers of Loaf are is your own fault and is embarrassing. The next time you want to complain about something, please preface your post with "BEFORE YOU LISTEN TO ANYTHING I SAY, KNOW THAT I DO NOT KNOW WHO THE FUCK ARCHERS OF LOAF ARE"

Looks like Snacks chose the most boring headliner's to date. Not sure if he was trying to do some 10th Anniversary SeattleFest (Deathcab, Modest & Foo) or if he was just choosing acts that he likes (Wilco). Primavera sound pretty much kicked his a$$ & that's not hard to see.. One thing Snacks did right was with the electronic acts.. Chromeo, Bassnectar, MSTRKRFT, Flying Lotus & Skrillex. Snacks also saved himself with The FLAMING FUCKING LIPS, Rodrigo Y Gabriela, Yeasayer, Deerhunter & Best Coast..

Not too bad Snacks, But not too good either.. Looks like we'll have to wait another year for Sasquatch to break out of it's shell..
