why do you do this to yourselves? radiohead will play coachella. no festival will tell them no and people will drive to see them. if they're playing a west coast festival, why wouldn't they go with the money? playing sasquatch would be an act of charity on radioheads part, especially when you consider the fact that they havent played coachella since '04. im not saying that such an act of kindness is beyond the band, but yeah right.

Only with Radiohead could denouncing all published information about their new record be called an 'update'.

Cross The Beatles with Pink Floyd and build an airtight glass case around them and you've got Radiohead.

Regarding Sasquatch, let's not forget our ace in the hole:

Here is a collection of prices for current bands: http://prettypolly.com/show-other-avail-....ge-concerts.php

things in there: My Morning Jacket (75+), Ween (75-100), Flaming Lips (60-75)

I booked bands for 4 years while in college, it's really not that hard to get a ballpark of what someone is going to cost based on what venues they play.

I know I paid about 50 bucks to see Radiohead at the sold out White River Amphitheater show. White River holds 20k so that's 1 million right there but lots of tickets were more than 50 so im sure that the total was higher than that.

sasquatch sells like 22k tickets at 75 dollars a peace. Leaving a total operational budget of 1.65 million dollars. Realistically they're not gonna spend more than 65% on bands (that seems awfully high as is) so I would guess that they spend less than 1 million on all of the bands for one day.

On the other hand, lots of people say we can't afford daft punk which I don't quite believe. When I saw them in 2007 they played WaMu theater which has a maximum capacity of 7000. I think tickets were about 40 bucks which means that the gross was about 280,000. Still fairly high but it's not as out of reach as 1 million is.

Oh and on the cure: getting the Cure was no doubt a Coup for Sasquatch but I remember that it only happened because their other show fell through (basketball playoffs i think?) and they only agreed to play Sasquatch after getting some promises from the bookers. That said, last time they toured through on their own they played at White River but it was during a festival that they created (curiosa) that had some big names (Muse, Mogwai, the rapture, etc) so their grosses would be significantly lower than Radioheads

summary: Radiohead is not playing unless there are like 3 other acts that day

Is this good enough I8?

I'm impressed, and I appreciate your effort. The problem is that you're basing this on speculation, by which I mean calculating what they take away on tickets. That ignores, like, a million things: days that sell out, ticket packages, what they'll charge this year, what they make on those crazy expensive festival shirts/posters/etc., and a number of other things.

What I wanted to see was Sasquatch's booking budget for THIS year, followed by examples from past years, and a solid idea of what bands are asking for this year.

So while I don't think this is good enough, I do applaud your effort.

And this:

I don't think radiohead will be there, but one thing that people are forgetting is the past 3 years they have gone to smaller headliners on the 3 rd day, my guess is they have aoperating budget. Any surplus from the budget goes to a war chest in case they want to book someone big, i did the numbers game last year, with educated guesses and i thought they spent between 45 to 55 percent of ticket sales to book bands, if they put about 5 percent away, the last couple of years, they could have an extra 15 percent to book a big whale. 15% of tickets sales is about $500,000, if adam Snacks wants to make a splash he can spend that extra money on a band like radiohead, that probably wont happen but, we can see another big band like pearl jam.

Yeah, I guess that backdrop was good for acoustics reasons, but damn, it killed the view.

I'd say that this hurts our chances

http://www.nme.com/news/radiohead/53832

"Greenwood wrote that they had not considered any new live plans yet. "…Nor have we yet considered any touring," he outlined. "The plan is to have no plan until the record is finished."

I think that the general concencious is that the headliners have been booked already isn't it?

#1 - on topic
when radiohead dropped in rainbows in 07, it was abrupt, but we kinda knew they were writing for a while. radiohead headlined festivals in 08.

we know radiohead is writing their new album since their trip to LA back before the summer. radiohead could have easily been booked for the show if we are assuming they are already booked.

#2 - going back to the off topic
cymbals eat guitars are incredible. the sasquatch show had some new songs, end of a long tour, and 0 crowd energy (i tried all i could). but the other 2 times i saw them, one last month in philly, were great. talked to joseph after and they are taking a year to a year and a half off to relax and write and take it from there. they were spent from touring.

but as for the pitchfork hype statement that i agree with... phantogram blows. so does sleigh bells, and cults are boring too. i was at CMJ and i saw baths a bunch of times and HOLY SHIT. he has a little more credibility after being invited to spin with flylo and stuff, but he is the quintessential bedroom composer and definitely a major exception to the rule.

1. There have been many great acts playing before 3pm at Sasquatch
2. Crowd did suck for Cymbals Eat Guitars. Pete, PTM played after Mumfords, followed by Edward Sharpe, so CEG didn't get screwed in that sense. Plus, Mumfords didn't become GIGANTIC until after Sasquatch, so even PTM didn't get screwed.
3. I cringe every time I hear, "too big for Sasquatch." That is absolutely the worst statement taken as fact I recollect from this board, and it happens every year. Festivals make a lot of money outside of ticket sales. A festival can easily pay a band more than they would make doing a single show (and selling out), if they are willing to. Festivals also allow exposure to fans who might not give a shit about your music prior to the festival, and that goes for headliners as well.
4. When I don't feel like spending time tying together my thoughts cohesively, I number them.
5. Hello funnygrrl.
6. Thom Yorke played Coachella last year, so saying Radiohead is more likely to play Coachella because they haven't been there since 2004 is something I don't agree with. Say Coachella is a bigger festival and will gain more revenue in landing them, that I will agree with.
7. I wouldn't believe any misquoted or contradicted statements by Radiohead saying they will or will not be touring seven months from now.
8. I don't think the Sasquatch 2011 headliners are confirmed.
