Yes I care about headliners. If I'm going to spend over a grand to attend a festival, I want to see a couple bands I would normally have to pay $100+ to see, bands I'm not willing to pay $100+ to see, and/or rarities, not a lineup chalked full of acts who tour through the NW every year or two playing medium sized venues. I want fireworks and theatrics and expensive light shows shutting down my evening every night. Outside of Blur and the Knife, nothing on that lineup gives me a semi.
That's fine with me if everyone else is too cool for headliners. Tell me you would prefer that lineup over the same lineup with Kanye West, Bjork, and The Rolling Stones ending each night?

Fuck headliners indeed. I prefer a ton of unknowns, well unknown to most. The little guys I have discovered because of music festivals are some of the best shows I have seen in recent years.
And Fuck Kanye West. AND The Rolling Stones? Who the hell wants to see a group of leather hand-bags attempt to play songs that were popular 20 fucking years ago??

That'd be fine with me! Bob Mould solo on the Yeti, Husker Du on the Main Stage, Sugar on the Bigfoot and a Husker Du tribute band on the Maine Stage.
But alas, Bob Mould's playing Primavera so he's out.

I would take Primavera with those headliners, but I'll also take Primavera without those headliners. Unfortunately, neither of those situations will be the case at Sasquatch unless a Sasquatch miracle occurs.

I only like bands I've never listened to before and you've never heard of.

I meant to chime in on this a while ago. Neil Young has had moons up on his tour page for the last couple of years. They've only ever corresponded to the full moon and never had any other "announcement" or "possible" date significance. I know it has sorta been mentioned, but just thought I would confirm it as someone whose been following his site for a million years.

The Rolling Stones had their FIRST hits in the mid sixties which is steadily approaching fifty years ago so you really need to learn how to count. Never mind the fact that those songs ([I can't Get No] Satisfaction, to name just one) are still well known and loved by a very large number of people. Hand bags? Yeah sure, but don't discredit the staying power of bands as popular as the Stones and their music.
Now, that being said, I would take a super strong midrange of bands over some over the top headliner any day. I'm thinking of Sasquatch 2010 specifically where the headliners were somewhat modest (MMJ, Massive Attack, Ween) and the midrange was amazing (Broken Social Scene, LCD Soundsystem, etc). That sounds a lot more enjoyable to me than a lackluster undercard and Muse or Prince or something.
