Sorry, I was just going by what a couple of my friends were saying, that were there, they said there was a bigger buzz and more people went to see AC.

But since I wasnt there, I wiil take your word.

Yeah, I heard alot of people were disappointed with their lolla show, which may be the reason their comeback hasn't been hyped up or why they haven't been booked/rumoured for more big events/festivals.

I'm just drawing a blank on the other, supposedly cheaper, headliners would be. I'd love to see The Strokes, but for some reason I don't think it will happen. I'd say Pulp would be a shoe-in for the Massive Attack Spot (European, touring after hiatus, etc.) but they're playing primavera and then in the uk in june. I don't think they'd do a one off at Sasquatch. Portishead apparently aren't in NA until the fall. Perhaps LCD Soundsytem will return? Is Faith No More still touring? Flaming Lips are possible, though they too are at Primavera. Maybe M.I.A.?

Okay, so more to help my poor brain out than anything, I decided to make a sorta guide to potential headliners that maybe we can draw from. Correct me if I'm wrong on the placement or inclusion of any of these, it might be a little shaky. Trying to be as objective as possible and excluding personal taste.

NEVER GONNA GET

Radiohead
Daft Punk
White Stripes
Rage Against The Machine
RHCP

Borderline, most likely too expensive

Pearl Jam
Soundgarden
Outkast
Muse
Weezer
Coldplay

High Tier questionable acts

Beastie Boys
Neil Young
The Strokes
Kings Of Leon
Depeche Mode
Kanye West

Realistic Weekend Headliners

Arcade Fire
Wilco
Tenacious D
Faith No More
Ben Harper
The Roots
The Flaming Lips
Beck
The Pixies

Smaller, mostly untested "Monday" caliber headliners

Death Cab
Modest Mouse
Phoenix
Sufjan Stevens
Bright Eyes
Spoon
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The Decemberists

Thusfar unmentioned out of nowhere Reunion acts with NW ties

The Shins
Sleater-Kinney
The Postal Service

Yeah, I really don't expect KOL to be there either, but given their status and the fact that they've put out an album since their last performance I guess there's a scrap of a chance. I sure hope not though.

Kings of Leon is now out of our price range

I wonder what interstateeight thinks about Weezer as a Sasquatch possibility?

I dunno. As we all know, I8 loves bands whose creative peak was in the 90's.

Daft Punk may be not too expensive, but I'd still put them in the "never gonna get" range for a lot of different reasons. Or at least never gonna get THIS YEAR, anyway.

Don't know why I thought Weezer would be that expensive, but I forgot about them doing bumbershoot back in September, seems like it'd pretty much rule them out, right?

Daft punk would be less expensive but coachella or bonnaroo would throw them a bunch of money to be exclusive, and unless Adam zaks is blackmailing then with recent pictures of them with out the robotic head gear, we couldn't compete.
