It still pretty early, but I think it's about time we get the rumour mill churning... I think its safe to assume that the festival will take place between May 23rd-25th (hopefully it will be 3 days again this year) Some of my early predictions (based on tour dates, new album releases, other festivals) include: - Kings of Leon - Broken Social Scene - Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Franz Ferdinand - The Black Keys (or a Dan Auerbach solo set) - The Decemberists - The Avett Brothers - The Airbourne Toxic Event - Thievery Corportation - Ryan Adams & the Cardinals - The Thermals - Flogging Molly - Gomez - Girl Talk - Jose Gonzalez - Jay Reatard - Black Kids - We Are Scientists - Of Montreal - Asobi Seksu - Late of the Pier - St. Vincent - Cut Copy - N.A.S.A. - Heartless Bastards - The Black Lips - The Von Bondies - Friendly Fires - Mark Kozalek - Grizzly Bear / Department of Eagles - A.C. Newman - Immaculate Machine - Swan Lake - Dan Deacon - Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Andrew Bird - Lady Sovreign - Wooden Shjips - Ra Ra Riot - J. Tillman (no Fleet foxes) - The Bird and the Bee - Loney, Dear - Little Joy - Ben Kweller - Ben Lee - Handsome Furs - The Lonely Island (the FOTC of 2009, more likely than Tenacious D) - Abe Vigoda - The Living Things - Throw Me the Statue - MSTRKRFT - Great Lake Swimmers - Say Hi - Vetiver - Grand Archives - Vince Mira - Neko Case (hopefully not again) - The Boy Least Likely To - The Whip - Obits - Mexican Institute of Sound - Mirah - The Shaky Hands - The Blakes - Kay Kay & His Weathered Underground - Tim Hecker
Potential Headliners: Dave Matthews Band, Wilco, The Killers, Neil Young, RADIOHEAD (kidding)
I also have a hunch that the Comedy Tent will be replaced with a Dance Tent this year. Hopefully it will be a much larger tent.
Keep in mind this is just me throwing out names of bands that are either touring North America this Spring/Summer or bands that have albums coming out soon. I have also tried to compensate by not including bands who have Seattle shows announced close to Sasquatch.
OK. Let the speculation begin!

2009 is likely to be more of a writing year and less of a touring year for My Morning Jacket. After they get back from Australia & Japan, Jim will be working on Monsters of Folk stuff with M. Ward and Conor Oberst.

I'm sure there will be a few one-off appearances in the States, but I think if they play a US festival it will be Bonnaroo, not Sasquatch.

Thanks for ruining my day avocado, My Morning Jacket was/is one of my favorites for this year's fest. But I agree, I don't think they will be allowed to not play Bonnaroo.
As for Kings Of Leon being a headliner, no chance. The headliners from the past four festivals have all been popular in the 90s. Pixies, NIN, Flaming Lips (thankfully replacing the sleepy Ben Harper), Beck, Bjork, Beastie Boys, REM, the Cure, and Flaming Lips again.
If the fest is three days, I can see Kings of Leon being a subheadliner. If the fest is two days, there is no way they are a sub-headliner. That would mean they are the fourth largest act of the fest, and if that was the case, I'd be terrified.
How about Animal Collective in the meadows closing out that stage and playing opposite Kings of Leon? Animal Collective have a new album out in a couple days that everyone loves, and they are great live (although, not for everyone who might be attending a festival for a band like Kings of Leon).

I think T.V on the Radio are a good bet

i would LOVE to see morrissey, a reappearance by manu chao and the arcade fire, and more of the dancey stuff like lady sovereign and justice. i agree that a dance dome/ tent would be far superior to the comedy tent and i hope it's there - it's the one thing that's missing to get everyone's energy up! the constant mid-tempo heavily orchestrated bands that have played the last few years are great, but it gets a little auditorily repetitive. since coffee is a pretty penny, dancing is a good alternative to wake up! much as i love the view at the gorge, i do have to say that the security is INSANE. while the gorge is stunning, i would say the bag searches, no reentry, expensive everything, and constantly aggro security severely detract from the music and experience. maybe i'm just spoiled with the laidback california fests. the folks i went with last year said it was "the most offensively corporate festival" they'd ever attended. i guess i could really do without a lot of the college radio standbys that are jack johnson-esque - i love getting to actually see kinda new bands... but sasquatch certainly isn't cutting edge. it's just pretty enough scenery and the line-up just good enough to keep me driving two states away to go...

Menomena will most likely be there. They are having an album coming out soon and even mentioned they will play a few festival shows.

Sun Kil Moon (aka Mark Kozalek) has been confirmed via his website. Score one point for me!
I'd also love to see Animal Collective at Sasquatch!, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up.

Reply #15 November 28th. I'm tooting my own horn and claiming to be the one to start the Kings of Leon rumour!

I hope that The Flaming Lips come back for 2009. I missed them last year, and have been kicking myself about it since then...

Titus Andronicus - would be awesome. they're touring with Los Campesinos! right now, but there are no Westcoast dates so its a possibility.
The Hold Steady - I think they have played too many shows (Sasquatch 2007, Capitol Hill Block Party '08, and 2 Seattle shows a couple months ago) to warrant another appearance. But apparently they are playing Coachella so you never know.
She and Him - seems unlikely, they don't seem to be touring. But I believe M. Ward has a new album out this year so he's a definite possibility.
Animal Collective - I really hope so! Merriweather Post Pavilion has been on repeat for the past few days.
Beastie Boys - NO!
Grizzly Bear / Department of Eagles - Grizzly Bear's new album comes out this summer, so Dept. of Eagles may not be touring. I Dr. Garbanzoure one of these bands will be hitting the festival circuit.
Destroyer - Not likely. But Swan Lake (Dan Bejar's other other band) has a new album coming out, so that's a possibility. I think we could see a couple members of the New Pornos back again with their other respective projects.

Sounds probable. If I was in a band as popular as Guns 'n' Roses, I'd be fucking every night too.
