Sasquatch is not set up in a way that you have to run to get a good spot for a headliner. The main stage is huge and there is tons of room. Even down in the pit if you are along the back there is room.
Nobody said that they only watch the headliners but of course we care who they are. Additionally, Kanye and Prince have never been there but you would be a fool to miss them.
It seems like you see a band more for your own reputation than because you want to see them.
I love everything about this post but Kanye was actually at Sasquatch in 05 and it was amazing.
Lots of talk about how amazing 2010's lineup was today (it was) but I think 05 was still the gold standard lineup. It was only one day and yet at least five of the bands that played that day could headline today.
Exactly five could headline today. There is no sixth.
Can people from Calgary complain? We miss out on quite a bit that other "major" cities get.
We can complain. No one on this board, other than Albertan's, has the right to bitch about the lack of bands that roll through their town. Calgary gets shit compared to rest of the cities represented here.

I think you're underestimating She Wants Revenge's fan base.
CHUD lives in Helena, MT. Only my friend Cole and his wife Eileen ever play in Helena.
Colin Meloy did a solo show there when he was home for Christmas a couple years ago. Bill Cosby is supposed to do a joke showcase there purty soon, too. He'll probably do Sasquatch, too.
But, yeah, usually Helena shows consist of drunk karaoke.

Drew you are giving me way too much credit. CHUD currently lives in The Falls (I refuse to call it great) and hates every bit of it. However, I have an exit strategy and that makes me smile.
