That's a crazy thought to think the Decemberists could headline, but if they have a huge electronic draw on the second stage playing opposite, it could happen. There will be more people left at the end of their set than were left at My Morning Jacket.
Also, the headliners this year were small, but each were known for putting on amazing live shows. Decemberists would fit this trend, Interpol wouldn't.

Interpol is not anything special live at all, my guesses were purely for fun, they were based on rumors (White Stripes, Shins), who's dropping new albums that have a good chance at cracking the "American Eagle" demo(Chromeo), who's dropping new albums and has been around the block (Interpol, Wilco), who dropped an album last year but will hit the peak of the "American Eagle" demo come next summer (Pheonix, Broken Bells, Black Keys). New bands with chunes in popular movies and commercials to put them in the popular ticket selling consciencenous (Pheonix, Broken Bells, Black Keys, Spoon, Chromeo, Interpol). Indie bands that will have gained seriouse live act rep this fall/winter (Wolf Parade, Gaslight Anthem). Bands that won't tour but play prominent fest spots due to good years from both sales and festival rep (Pheonix, BSS). Good bands who didn't play last year (Decemberists, Yeasayer, Spoon, Pheonix). Bands doing big tours who will be missing the PNW (Interpol). PJ is based on my hail mary idea that they will only get one "huge" headliner next year. They've never played Sas, they've done fests many times without touring. I don't really want it this way, just what I think is very plausible.

Am I understanding correctly, people actually WANT Pearl Jam to play? I thought it was generally agreed that every album after Ten was absolutely terrible. God I just do not understand people.

They fall under the Lady Gaga rule of headliners: I would never pay the $50+ to see Pearl Jam headline a show solo, but as part of a package deal with, like, the Decemberists and the Black Keys and Titus Andronicus? Sign me up.

If Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver don't come out with a new album by next Sasquatch then they will be long over due. Those are my two big hopes.
I'd say the Shins too but James Mercer is still touring with Broken Bells and pretty much all the other current members have other bands to work with. Even though he probably has a decent amount of new Shins material already down (I heard two new songs when they did a little mini tour last summer) I think we would be being pretty hopeful if we asked that the Shins come out with a new album in less than a year. But I hope I'm wrong because they would be so awesome.
The Black Keys surprised me by not being here this year, if next year they aren't there with their new album then something is wrong.
Jack White could put together a White Stripes album super quick. He's impulsive and cool like that. I remember reading that Elephant was recorded in a very small window of time. While you would think the White Stripes would be an expensive band, they probably aren't difficult like that and would love to play the Gorge.
And I'm almost positive I read an article where Eddie Vedder said at a show that it was their last for a while and Pearl Jam was going on a break. Maybe my memory is wrong though....
Edit: I double checked and my memory was not wrong.
There is this really really great band, Warpaint who are releasing their first album in August and they're a lot smaller than all of the previous bands discussed but they are one of the ones I am hoping for the most. They would fit perfect. Their EP was amazing. I've never been so impressed with so small an example of six songs. They were touring during Sasquatch and I was bummed they weren't invited to the party.
the rest of the mainstage will be littered with the "new hot acts", ie - next years' MGMT and Passion Pit.
cough LOCAL NATIVES cough
I can definitely see Local Natives becoming popular enough to play on the Mainstage next year if they have a new album out. They were so good this year! People are really catching on to them too. If they come back I'd be a very very happy camper.

do you ever have anything remotely positive or constructive to contribute to any conversation?

Pearl Jam's hiatus is directly related to Soundgarden's reunion (since Matt Cameron is in each band). Pearl Jam announces a hiatus in mid July, Soundgarden's first show is in early August, then they'll announce a world tour. Once we Dr. Garbanzoure out the details of that tour, we'll have a better idea of how long Pearl Jam's break will be.

I sure as fuck don't have anything positive to say about Pearl Jam. I guess it makes sense that the people that jizz over the Arcade Fire are the same people that are still jizzing over 'Jeremy'.
I'm sorry that our musical preferences are different, and I'm sorry for stating my opinion? What do you want me to say? Seriously, why the fuck do you all take this so seriously, it is a MESSAGE BOARD ABOUT MUSIC.

It pains me to hear that because I'm a big Arcade Fire fan, it also means I have to be a big Pear Jam fan. Oh well, at least Ten was good right? And that song about that kid? What was his name again? oh well, at least you put me in my place.
The whole world isn't out to get you, you know. People just don't like it when you only come here to shit on bands they like without offering anything of substance to the conversation.

Yeah, we did that one.
For the record, I was seriously asking. I consider Pearl Jam to be strictly lowest common denominator shit and I'm amazed that the same people that I've seen bitching about having Jane's Addiction headline are supporting Pearl Jam.
