Realistically - Saturday:
Nurses -> P. The Man -> Edward Sharpe -> BSS (Entire Set) -> Miike Snow -> The Hold Steady -> VM (even though I'm not happy about it but I want to be closer for MMJ) -> MMJ -> Deadmau5
In a perfect world I would love to also see Minus the bear, Why? and the Very Best
Saturday may be the best musical day of my life. I'm so pumped!
For those who have never listened to the nurses, here's a couple good sets from daytrotter:

I love daytrotter's write up on these guys.
Realistically - Sunday:
Caribou -> Local Natives (I'm seeing these guys w/ the suckers this friday... pretty pumped) -> Jets Overhead -> Cymbals Eats Guitars (One of the best shows I've seen this year) -> Freelance Whales -> LCD -> Dirty Projectors -> Pavement -> Massive Attack.
Perfect world -> I've seen Avi Buffalo open for Japandroids and I was less than impressed but I really like their album and would like to give them another chance. Yacht, midlake and Fruit Bats.
Realistically and perfect world - Monday:
Shadow Shadow Shade -> Seattle Rock Orch -> Drive-by Truckers (saw them in a double bill w/ the hold steady a couple year back... one word.. AMAZING!!) -> Dr. Dog -> Japandriods -> Couple Songs of The Mountain Goats -> 1/2 set BoH -> Camera Obscura -> The New Pornos -> Neon Indian (Saw them live this year and I was very, very impressed!) -> Ween!!!
Wow... that's a lot of music... great headliners.... Sasquatch did a great job of spreading our the lineup in their schedule. This just reaffirms my decision to drop some cash on this festival!!!

As opposed to last year when I had the "WATCH AS MANY BANDS AS POSSIBLE" approach, this year I'm trying to go with the whole "Watch full sets of bands, sit back, get good spots, and enjoy then" approach, also trying to kinda decide bands according to a bunch in a row at the same stage so I have a nice spot that I can just stay in. This kinda worked, but I still had to revert to my old regretting-missing-things ways:
Saturday (total: 11):
Dawes - Morning Teleportation - Fool's Gold - Nurses - Portugal. The Man - Patton Oswalt - Broken Social Scene - The National - Vampire Weekend - My Morning Jacket - Deadmau5
Sunday (total: 12):
Caribou - Langhorne Slim - Local Natives - The Tallest Man on Earth - Cymbals Eat Guitars - Mike Birbiglia - Tegan and Sara (don't really care for 'em, but goddamnit, I want a good spot for LCD and PAVEMENT) - LCD Soundsystem - PAVEMENT - (at this point I'm hoping Dirty Projectors will run late and still be playing after Pavement's done) - Public Enemy - Massive Attack - Booka Shade
Monday (total: 11):
The Heavy - Hannibal Buress/Past Lives (can't decide yet, wanna see Past Lives but I like Hannibal and need a good spot for Todd Barry) - Todd Barry - Seattle Rock Orchestra - Quasi - Dr. Dog - Japandroids - No Age - Band of Horses - The New Pornographers - Ween
So I guess to answer your question, 34 is the plan, possible more.

EEEK, this is tough but, here goes...
Saturday:
Lots of mini-conflicts that I am somewhat perturbed by, and one major one (which most of you out there can Dr. Garbanzoure out). Driving down from Vancouver that morning, so I likely wont get into the fairgrounds before 2pm.
Mumford & Sons -> (bit of) Portugal. The Man -> The Middle East -> Patrick Watson -> BSS -> The Hold Steady (alone cause all my friends will be staying for the National) -> Nada Surf/Vampire Weekend (meh, either or) -> MMJ -> Deadmau5
I have a feeling MMJ will play on just as late as Deadmau5 will, so I will likely miss out on him again.
Oh ya, I won't be seeing Nurses. It was not the least bit rewarding seeing them open for TMOE.
Sunday
Gotta be there early, can't miss Caribou. I also have a little bit of a blank in the middle, so I might have to check out Mike Birbiglia, depending upon how badly i need shade.
Caribou -> maybe some Langhorne Slim -> Local Natives -> TMOE -> TMBG -> Avi Buffalo/Rumpus -> Tegan And Sara -> some dinner with Vetiver but leave early for -> LCD Soundsystem -> Pavement -> Massive attack -> Booka Shade
Monday
Won't be going home til Tuesday, so I am excited to see all of Ween, and not worrying about being sober. 
I really want to see Camera Obscura, however people on this board are scaring me away from them. I guess I wouldn't be devastated to see BoH instead.
The Heavy if I am not still drinking by my tent -> Mayer Hawthorne ->Temper Trap -> drive-by Truckers -> Dr. Dog -> Japandroids -> Camera Obscura -> MGMT -> Ween
I am gonna say 23 complete music sets and 3 or 4 of which I will catch a part of the set

My friends and I have decided that we will definitely be seeing the following:
Saturday- Dawes, Brother Ali, Minus the Bear, Portugal. The Man, The Middle East (partial set), Patton Oswald, Broken Social Scene, The National The Hold Steady (partial set), Nada Surf, My Morning Jacket, Deadmau5 (12)
Sunday- Caribou, The Tallest Man on Earth, They Might Be Giants, City and Colour, LCD Soundsystem, Pavement, Public Enemy (partial set), Massive Attack (8)
Monday- The Heavy, Hannibal Buress, Phantogram, Quasi, Dr. Dog, The Mountain Goats, Band of Horses, The New Pornographers, Ween (9)
That makes 29, but there are a few time slots where we don't have anything planned. After Caribou on Sunday, we have over 90 minutes of free time, meaning that we will either check out Midlake or Martina Topley Bird, depending on how we feel at the time. We also have a chunk of free time between City and Colour and LCD Soundsystem, but all of us hate The XX and Tegan and Sara. We'll probably end up seeing Freelance Whales and Vetiver during that time, making it roughly 32 bands total.

Assuming (like most) that I'll be at the stages on time each day:
Saturday- Laura Marling/Mumford & Sons/ Portugal. The Man/ The Middle East/ Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros/ Ok Go/ Broken Social Scene/ The National/ Nada Surf/ Z-Trip/ My Morning Jacket/ Deadmau5
I know I may get chastised for this, but everything after The National on Saturday, is icing on the cake, so it's a toss up as to how long I'll stay anywhere.
Sunday- Caribou/ Local Natives/ Jets Overhead/ The Tallest Man on Earth/ Kid Cudi/ Freelance Whales/ The XX/ LCD Soundsystem/ Pavement/ Massive Attack/ Booka Shade
Pavement is one of those "last chance" sort of bands, so I have to toss my hat that way, but besides I want the best spot possible for Massive Attack, and I will watch them as long as they are playing, so their set may go into Booka Shade's and I wouldn't be upset in the least.
Monday- The Heavy/ Mayer Hawthorne & the Country/ The Temper Trap/ Fresh Espresso/ Passion Pit/ Dr. Dog/ The Mountain Goats/ Band of Horses/ MGMT/ The New Pornographers/ Boyz Noize.
Monday has the most painful conflict for me, forcing me to split sets between, Passion Pit vs. Dr. Dog and MGMT vs. New Pornographers... Oh well, I can't complain too much... So I guess 34 is the number I'm working with.
