At the angle that photo was taken at, the main stage hill looks much bigger than it actually is.
In either case, I concede that the main stage does have a fair amount more space.
A guy I know who works at the festival "liked" a post of mine on facebook about the festival going until 1am every night. Every time I've posted predictions like that he has commented with semi-cryptic messages in reply if I was wrong, but has not done that this time.
Edit: I agree about Saturday, they totally stacked the entire day. Busiest day by far, but I'm most excited for it as well.

Preemptive shots fired before Wonk finds all of the ridiculous shit I said over the years:

I've had this argument with Sasquatch boarders every year I believe. Elvis Costello has no draw in the NW, there is no way he ever headlines. A subheadline is even unlikely. If he ever played the festival (which I don't think he ever will), it will be closing the second stage vs. a mainstream headliner on the same level of KOL/Muse/Killers. |

The crowd could go 3/4 of the way to the dance tent and fit way more people than the main stage unless I'm mistaken. |

Check a Google Earth overhead shot. If you really stretch the area in which people would be standing to watch a band at the Bigfoot stage, there would be maybe half the space at best. Hell, the floor in front of the Sasquatch stage alone could fit most Bigfoot crowds. There would be thousands of people without a reasonable place to stand if they put a 5th billed band there. Really hope they're not dumb enough to do this.

I wasn't going to go looking for it actually. I thought earlier today, "In all my rants about how ridiculous Elvis Costello headlining is, there is a decent chance I said he would never be on the lineup." Either way, we've discussed this about ten times over the last five years, and the base of the disagreement was always about if he would headline.

You aren't doing a very good job at convincing me I'm wrong. The only absolute statement quoted was , "Elvis Costello will never headline Sasquatch."
"I think" and "unlikely" are not absolutes. I'm very careful about speaking in absolutes when I'm guessing. It was a good effort to cover his tail about being wrong.

I found one. Maybe I'll post more later, there's a bunch.

Oh, there's tons of comments of me saying foolish shit about this. I've been with you for the past year and a half assuming they'd never book him though. Doing it this way makes sense, wait for the show to sell out and then Snacks can book an act that he cares about that might not have a draw comparable to their cost. If nothing else, I'm just excited that all of the kids there to see Mumford are gonna get schooled in some good music.

I know, I did a search for Elvis Costello, and read many different posts about it. Elvis headlining was a classic board disagreement, second to My Bloody Valentine being the ultimate anti-Sasquatch band. Gloating was inevitable. I can't think of a solvable third classic board disagreement I've been in, because I usually just tell people they are stupid, which is impossible to prove over the internet.
It's good we got a chance to find out, because he's easily top five can't misses for me now. It's funny you mentioned Mumford & Sons, because that was part of one of my arguments three years ago about why Elvis isn't big enough to headline. Four months after anyone knew who Mumfords were, they sold out a 1,500 person venue locally in a day, and it took Elvis months to sell out a similar sized venue.

Has anyone considered seeing how that chart of artists lines up with set times of last year? Just to get a vague idea of potential times.

I'd be perfectly willing to do this, but a bit of searching for last year's schedule only led me to incomplete mock-ups and articles linking to the official site, which obviously has now been updated. I'm sure it's somewhere obvious I just haven't looked yet, and if someone can point me to it I'd be happy to do the rest.
