I'm not sure if there is any truth or not to Felix's "predicition", but I thought I would add that there is a picture on the NIN site today of Dave Navaro in the studio. Maybe we could expect to see NIN as the return act, and Janes Addiction as the reunion act. That would fit a lot better having No Doubt there.

But that guy is probably 100% full of shit anyway. We'll find out on Tuesday.

Pitchfork posted some info on a new Sonic Youth album in June. Maybe they could headline (I'm sure someone will verbally abuse me on this post). Just a thought. I mean they have a decent track record.

Sonic Youth would absolutely not headline but they are my favorite band so I'd be really excited if they were there. Jane's addiction would reunited for lollapalooza if anything so dont hold your breath on that one

In all honesty, I think if PJ were to play, KOL would be damn good opening for them, nothing more.

White Stripes, hell yes I would get into that. If we buy into the theory that bands, especially headliners, were booked months ago, I don't think they could have realistically known then that Meg would be OK to play live. I hope I am wrong though.

The Shins are not big enough to headline. They charge way too much for their local live shows, and they don't do anything memorable. I would love to see them as a sub or sub-sub headliner though.

Sonic Youth are less likely to be a headliner than the Shins. I am not sure the average fan of music (not music snob like myself and many others here) really know these two bands. I am not trashing either, I'm just saying Sasquatch headliners over the last four years have been bands who have had major commercial success, except maybe the Flaming Lips. So there you have it, a short paragraph likely to inspire sixteen different version of "You are an idiot because you just said...."

As for NIN, my four minutes of research ended up being a bit too little. Turns out two of the Lights in the Sky members recently left, and they are no longer doing that full set, which was like a visual orgasm. They probably will still put on a crazy light show if they are there, they did at Sasquatch 06, but it won't be THE Lights in the Sky. I still think they are a frontrunner for headliner.

I'll update the first post on this thread.

ditto.

As someone else pointed out, you'd think their first reunion show would be at Lolla wouldn't you?

I like hints, I like clues, and we all like speculating, and since this is the headliners (speculation) thread, I will add to the speculation,

Earlier tonight, someone posted in the lineup thread (in case you didn't read it, it seems to belong here either way):


EDIT: 2/13 - "BLAH BLAH I know the headliners, you don't, hahaha, BLAH BLAH, no Radiohead BLAH BLAH, not Pearl Jam, BLAH BLAH, Pay attention to me."

It was interesting when he posted it, but he turned into another spammer continually bragging about what he knows (END EDIT).

Since we have nothing else to go on, let's just play the game that Felix and this dude above are telling the truth, I certainly would count their supposed "insider knowledge" over 80% of other "insider knowledge" posts I have read on other web boards. I also agree with new dude that Pearl Jam and Radiohead will not be there, and if he is not bullshitting, No Doubt will not be there.

We will know for sure if these two dudes are phonies in a couple days, but my thoughts now on the headliners are this:

Nine Inch Nails/Oasis/Ben Harper & the Relentless7. Oasis would be considered a reunion band no one cares about, right? After all, they were the first rumored headliner. The "fucking hell yeah" replacement would be the Beastie Boys over Ben Harper. I find it nearly impossible to think any other band would repeat headlining.

As for the Kanye spot who is not a headliner, it would have to be Lupe Fiasco, right?

Then again, the new post above could very well be Felix himself, laughing at all of us. But the speculation is still fun.

"I was just told the headliners today by someone who knows. I know many people say that so it will be doubted. Oh well. I promised I wouldn't say who they were but I will say that the guesses on here are much closer than the frenzy of internet noize that was the Coachella Board leading up to their announcement.

I will also say: no radiohead, no pearl jam, no no doubt

I can't find the post by 'felix' that people are referring to but he is correct: two repeat headliners and a reunion band. I was also told Kings of Leon and that one is pretty established from other sources so I don't mind saying that. The last name I was told was not a headliner but, as I said on the Sasquatch blog today, will be more like Kanye was in 2005. Different vibe by a well known name.

I'm just finding it interesting how this all looks when (for the first time) I know who the top names are and others are trying to piece it together (and generally doing a pretty good job). "

No to Lupe and I'm not going to comment on your guesses at headliners as I'll just end up giving it away if I keep doing that.

I'm not Felix. I can't even find the actual post by him; just references to it by others but he seems to have similar info to mine.

My source is way up high and with the announcement so close it's pretty certain it won't change. He's pretty excited about the whole lineup but only told me five bands.
