I don't think the Flights ruined the flow, they played after Rodrigo Y Gabriela, so it was a back to back acoustic set before the insanity of the Mars Volta and Flaming Lips. All is calm before the storm.
I'm guessing that Tenacious D is big enough to play a similar role, possibly playing before or after someone like Jose Gonzalez, prior to the sub-headliner.
Morrissey will be in Europe during the festival. So no Morrissey, no Smiths.
Rumor has it that Weezer might tour with Oasis in the Spring. I could see Oasis as a Sasquatch headliner, and Weezer playing before them. I won't root for it, but it wouldn't be terrible.

I would be very happy if Oasis was to headline one night with Weezer opening for them. I got out to see Oasis this summer in Calgary, mostly because my wife is a fan. Myself like a lot of others, hadn't really followed Oasis that closely since their first 3 albums. But once I got the tixs for the show, I went out and found all their albums since then.......and was pleasantly surprised. The show itself was excellent! I walked out of there loving Oasis. I thought they put on a pretty damn good show.
I enjoy Weezer quite a bit too, but I just don't think they're big enough to headline one night themselves. So I hope this does work out, and they end up playing together the same night.

First, GET THESE BANDS to REUNITE and come to Sasquatch (!):
My Bloody Valentine
Catherine Wheel
Swervedriver - or get Adam Franklin, at least!
Electrelane - I thought they were great in 07
Soundgarden !
BRING THESE BANDS BACK:
The National - fantastic at the small stage last year!
Arcade Fire - one of the best bands I've seen in the last ten years!
The Kooks - bring them back!
Ghostland Observatory - should be an annual Sasquatch tradition!
Fleet Foxes - seeing them twice in one day in 08 was fantastic!
Battles - amazing group!
Black Angels - one of the best I saw at Sasquatch in 07!
The Helio Sequence - another of 07's best!
Recruit some of these artists:
Radiohead - would make an ideal headliner
Wilco - another headliner
The Verve
Portishead
Robert Pollard - would be good on the middle stage
The Shins - almost big enough to headline?
Elbow
Belle and Sebastian - please? They'd be great!
Mogwai
Electric Six - talk about fun!!!
Sparklehorse
Foals - some of the best math rock in the world!
Brian Jonestown Massacre - if Anton could maintain long enough to perform
MGMT - great new artist
Lambchop - pretty mellow
Sun Kil Moon - might also be a bit mellow, but what great music!
The Wedding Present
Low
Film School
Secret Machines
Plus add in all those great new artists I haven't heard of yet each year, but become a big fan of after seeing them!
I went to the festival in 07 and 08, and can't wait until 09!!!

Could surely see the Oasis / Weezer double bill making sense for one night.
KOL / Wilco a second night would make sense
What about a Jane's Addiction for night 3 with the L.A. club shows happening the original 4 seem likely to hit the road.
Or White Stripes?
Other Acts (likely and/or hope)
PJ Harvey
Tragically Hip
QOTSA
Massive Attack
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Arctic Monkeys
The Hold Steady
Gutter Twins
Everest
Bon Iver
Tv On The Radio
Fleet Foxes
Broken Social Scene
Black Mountain
Gaslight Anthem
Carl Newman
Sam Roberts

I like the Broken Social Scene prediction. They seem to be making the rounds at the festivals the last couple years, including Langerado next year in March. I have been to the last four Sasquatch festivals, and they have not been in the lineup, and there are always so many Canadians there.
So here is me putting way too much thought into why they should be there. They are playing three shows in the NW in early February. Bands obviously don't want to announce they will be playing a nearby festival for fear that people will skip their small shows knowing they can see the band basically for free at the festival. Sasquatch typically announces it's lineup about a week after their NW tour ends. And they have to love Canadians, right?
Note to band, I will delete this rumor if you send me a provocative picture of Amy (she can be fully clothed, I am not that dirty) and a picture of Brendan sniffing glue (he doesn't actually have to be sniffing it, just make it look real).

I'll always be happy to see the Flaming Lips there.
I'm hoping for -
- The Chemical Brothers
- Fleet Foxes (I'm guessing they're a given considering the elevation of popularity)
- Iron And Wine
- Jandek (That would blow my mind but this is a fantasy list right?)
- The Mountain Goats
- Nick Cave
- Sigur Ros
- Sufjan Stevens
- Tenacious D (I'm thinking they're also going to almost definitely going to make the cut)
- Cotton Jones Basket Ride
- Black Moth Super Rainbow
- Animal Collective
- Conor Oberst / Bright Eyes
- Daft Punk
- Robyn Hitchcock
OK, this is silly. I could name bands till I turn blue.

Looking at album release dates for 2009 some possibilities include Andrew Bird , Franz Ferdinand, Lily allen , The Decemberists, Depeche Mode , Built to Spill , Wilco , Stars , Massive Attack. Personally I would like to see The National (missed them this year), Fleet Foxes ( headling the smaller stage every night!), Band of Horses ( working on new album) , Kings of Leon , MMJ , and MGMT. Unlikely ,but would be awesome , Pearl Jam , Bruce Springsteen or Arcade Fire .

A couple thoughts about bands who might play:
Wilco-I heard that they will be playing a couple shows in the states in April, then playing in Europe in May. They recently announced a show in New Orleans in April, so that backs it up a bit. That doesn't mean they couldn't play in Europe and fly back for Sasquatch, but it sounds a bit more unlikely.
Radiohead-They are still touring with their currently impressive light show through March in South America. At least they have not retired this set up, like Kanye West's Glow in the Dark Tour (which appears to be done). It doesn't mean Sasquatch will happen, but it helps knowing they are still touring.
Tool-No live shows since 2007. Unless they put out something new, or play a couple random shows in the Spring, it looks extremely unlikely.
Oasis-They are touring through March, then have an April/May gap, then start touring in June again. Since there is a rumor that they will tour will Weezer this spring (read, April/May), this is probably the strongest Sasquatch rumor currently.
Rage Against the Machine-They have played enough random shows lately to stay sharp. Unlikely, but not impossible.
Decembrists-Played shows last month. One of the more popular NW Indie bands who have not played Sasquatch in a couple years.
Shins-I don't think they have done anything live recently? They also have no new music? They seems unlikely.
Kooks-People seemed to really like this act last year, which bodes well for a return. Maybe a mainstage slot around 3pm.
Hives-Touring Japan in April. Also another popular act from last year.
Kings Of Leon-Like Oasis, the fact that they have a two month gap in touring in April/May gives this act a decent chance.
No Doubt-They are playing a reunion show in early May, wouldn't be too shocking.
Beck-Touring through March. I might be the only one who thinks Beck shouldn't play Sasquatch for another couple years. It would be tough to top his festival headlining puppet show in 06.
My Morning Jacket-Always touring. They play a lot of festivals, yet have not been to Sasquatch in several years.
Broken Social Scene-Touring, and playing a festival this spring. They have not played Sasquatch recently, if ever?
Franz Ferdinand-Touring this spring. Never played Sasquatch before?
Depech Mode-No chance. They will be in Europe during the fest.
Counting Crows-No chance, will be in the UK during the fest.
This is not an exact science, but bands not doing anything are unlikely to play (Tool, Shins) and bands touring prior and post the fest are more likely (Oasis, Kings of Leon). Obviously bands confirmed elsewhere are slightly unlikely.
Anyone else know anything to combat or add to this?

I see that Kings Of Leon have just been confirmed for this year, which I'm excited about. But are they going to be a headliner?? I like them, but I see them playing an opening slot like Modest Mouse or DCFC did last year.

KOL isn't officially confirmed. But they seem very likely. http://sasquatchmusicfestival.blogspot.c....tival-2009.html
There's the rumour starter there.
As for the Tenacious D thing. I don't think it means anything. The song is just about a sasquatch. But it would be awesome if they did play this year!
