If you look at other bands who have headlined, there are other bands who are capable of doing the same, if they haven't already. Nine Inch Nails seems to be a band of that caliber. And further, Pearl Jam is perpetually rumored as a Sasquatch band (for obvious reasons) but they've done the Gorge themselves at times. |

everything I said applies to Pearl Jam x10 and you're crazy if you think NIN could headline the gorge on their own. |

I'm with you cbatson. Jack Johnson is probably too big now since he headlined the Gorge himself.
Pearl Jam is never going to be at Sasquatch.
And NIN could not sell out the Gorge themselves.

If NIN and the CURE can headline a night at Sasquatch, so can Jack Johnson.

I've seen NIN sell out larger venues than the Gorge.
That being said, I saw Ben Harper and Jack Johnson with 45,000 other people in 2003. Jack Johnson had a significantly larger following, and although he still probably does, a lot of people are also over him, no one really gets over NIN.
Jack Johnson is no less/more larger than Radiohead, REM or the Beasties.

While Pearl Jam can do well at the Gorge, they played two Key Arena shows recently, and to my knowledge, neither was sold out, and Key Arena is a far smaller venue than the Gorge can be.

alright guys, lets agree to disagree. we've covered most of this ground in the other topic. I don't think it's plausible and I just wanted a counterpoint so people reading this see both opinions

I know people don't think it will happen but I bet we see The Flaming Lips (w/ Stardeath and White Dwarfs) performing Dark Side of the Moon hopefully with Henry Rollins

Assuming we do get the Lips doing Dark Side, is that all they do? I would rather see a regular Lips show but they do seem pretty determined to do Dark Side. I'm more interested to see what their material from Embryonic would be like live.

and Peaches? In fact, why not a Peaches set at Sasquatch. I'm kind of surprised it hadn't happened before

Supposedly at Bonnaroo they are playing two sets, one that is Dark Side, the other that is FLAMING FUCKING LIPS stuff. But at Bonnaroo they can play for 3 hours in a late night set. I don't know if they have that flexibility at Sasquatch. Maybe if they headline a night and get to play to 1:00 am. It would be a hell of a show.

I see Pavement, Jack Johnson, and perhaps Soundgarden as the most likely headliners this year. I think the organizers have realized that they can still put on a successful festival without massive headliners, and rather a more diverse and deep undercard. I really can't see the Flaming Lips playing again (especially playing DSOTM, thats definitely more suited to Bonnaroo). Other long shots: a band that might not be considered a headliner like Arcade Fire, Them Crooked Vultures, or MMJ (people said the same thing about KOL last year). I highly doubt he would play Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Sasquatch, but I'm surprised no one has suggested Jay-Z as a possibility. I am sure that one of the 2 remaining headliners will be someone that nobody is talking about.

In the sense that the tour dates line up OK, yeah, he's a rumor just as much as any other band with an open Memorial Day weekend is. His gap is from late April to the middle of June, though, so it's nothing as precise as Why?'s schedule.
