2011 HEADLINER THREAD
« Thread Started on Jan 14, 2011, 12:12am »
THIS POST WILL BE UPDATED AS CONFIRMATIONS ARE MADE

This is what you have been waiting for, it's finally here.

Please post your thoughts on who will be headlining the festival. We have already discussed it at length on the Educated Suggestion thread.

If you have no life and want to read a 40 page thread go ahead, but it has been condensed here.

Keep it positive and as I8 pointed out don't just add names to make the lists longer, we are positive that the Smiths, David Bowie and Poison won't be there, so no need to add them.

I also did not include names that are probably a once in a lifetime get for Sasquatch- Bjork, REM, The Cure.

Confirmed.

Foo Dr. Garbanzohters

Expected

Arcade Fire-http://concertful.com/concert/arcade-fire/


Strong Possibilities (Bands that are touring or are planning to tour this year)

The Strokes- They are touring with a new release this year.
Pearl Jam-Celebrating they're 20th year, already said they will be on the road.
Chemical Brothers- Will be in Florida and South America in March and April.
The Flaming Lips- a possibility every year.
Wilco- always Touring
Phoenix-Have played every major festival, except Sasquatch.
Pixies- They are in touring in Canada in May
Pulp- there is a chance they might be on the Mythical Flight from Spain.
Elvis Costello & the Imposters- Announced tour dates, no PNW Dates even though he lives in Vancouver.


Remote Possibilities( Bands that have not announced tour plans but we could see at Sasquatch)

Soundgarden-Chris Cornell playing solo tour until early May.
Neil Young- Neil young at the gorge would be unforgettable.
Depeche mode- I can't believe they did not appear at Sasquatch during their tour of the Universe.

Huge headliners- I

Radiohead- Believe!!!
Daft Punk- Awesome.
Kanye West- Not a Fan , but he is Huge, and played Sasquatch before.
MUSE- They are one of the best live bands out there, like it or not.


Subheadliners that could headline

DCFC- always a Possibility.
Modest Mouse-see DCFC
Black keys- Starting to get big enough to possibly headline Monday.

Out of left field- Reunion acts , obscure or other acts that could be at Sasquatch.

Postal Service- if DCFC and Jenny and Johnny are going to be there, why not?
Pet Shop Boys- Nice Retro Act.
A Perfect circle- Touring , will be in North america during Sasquatch.
Paul Simon- booked for the Look out festival.
Peter Gabriel- seems to tour ever year


Unlikely- Not outside the realm of possibility but probably not.

Coldplay- U2 Jr. Can't see it.
Ben Harper- Let's make a petition for No More Ben Harper.
RHCP- Doesn't really fit with the Festival
Beastie Boys- Cancer scare still ongoing
Beck- Hasn't toured for a long time, no plans.
Weezer- don't think this will happen ,but they are touring.
Portishead- band said they are not in the US until the Fall
KOL- In UK during Sasquatch, Whew.
Sigur Ros- tweet from Jonsi - no touring plans


Oh God NO!!!!!- Self explanatory.

The Killers-
Jack Johnson-

What other artists do you think fit in these categories?

I would say that Neil Young and Phoenix are both more likely than Weezer.

Not a bad list but I think a few things are off:

I don't think there is a chance in hell elbow would come close to subheadlining and the idea of them headlining is absurd. I think the only way DCFC or Modest Mouse headlines is if they both play and do kind of a double headliner hometown night (which might be kinda cool). I also think Daft Punk headlining is much more of a possibility than Pearl Jam or Soundgarden.

Weezer played Bumbershoot this year, I don't think we've ever had same year crossover with headliners.

and uh...Nine Inch Nails is retired so the odds of them coming are less than zero...If How to Destroy Angels tour they'd be a good bet though (obviously not to headline)

We haven't really discussed the possibilities of the Pixies in any of the other threads but I think it could happen. There was a ton of rumours going on last year that they would play, mostly due to the Poster giveaway for re-naming the dance tent. Could it be possible that Sasquatch booked them a year in advance for 2011 since they were already headlining Primavera last year?

Also, I really don't think elbow will even play this festival ever, let alone headline. No one on this continent knows who they are. They're in the same bag as bands like Kasabian and Razorlight that will just never bother coming over here cause it's just not worth their while playing at 4 in the afternoon when they could be closing a festival in the UK.

LAME!

I won't bag on you for it. Honestly, I'm kind of numb to people hating them at this point. But I really do hope you are in the minority here. You will be missing out on one hell of a show if you choose not to see them.

I would have to bring my brother for sure if the Pixies played this year!

It's going to be something totally retarded (I better not get a 3 paragraph reply about how I'm offending retarded people) like Wilco, Pheonix, and Ben Harper.

I'll post an educated guess tomorrow when I'm sober.

Phoenix are touring, so I moved them to strong possibility. Neil young, although rumoured to be at coachella , has not announced any tour dates.

I added Portishead as unlikely, and also Weezer( I added them as strong possibilities because they were touring but public sentiment is that they will not be there.)

DCFC and Modest mouse have both Subheadlined the Festival last time they were there, PNW bands, not out of the realm of possibility for one of them to be headlining on Monday.

I don't believe any band that says they are retired, Plus I put NIN as Unlikely, what do you want?

As for the shit storm that I received for Elbow, let me explain.

They are touring this year, Have new album. Play large arena's in Europe. In fact the are playing 2 straight nights at London 02 arena- (There are not many bands in the world that could do that),

Last two North American tours, have opened for Coldplay and U2, so they are starting to get a name in the US.

Plus Sasquatch will bring in an act that headlines in Europe but is smaller in North america( Massive Attack).

They may not headline but I have a Feeling they will be there.

I will watch them. I mean its practically Nirvana...kind of? I like some of their old stuff but some of their new stuff is pretty dull. It might as well be Nickelback. I won't miss my chance to see Dave Grohl though. I guess it could be worse.

In her defense, know made a semi-ambiguous post that could have read like a legitimate invitation.

I think Hot Chip was mentioned as a possibility at one time or another as well?

As a HEADLINER!?

Yeah, I saw Gunther's post, but THIS ^^^ post is all the evidence you need that this thread is entirely unnecessary. Give it two weeks and it'll be another 27 page behemoth, where every new boarder comes to say either DECEMBERISTS! or MODEST MOUSE! or INSERT NAME OF LOWER TIER ACT MY BOYFRIEND PLAYED WHILE WE WERE DRINKING HIS PARENTS BOX WINE LAST NIGHT THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE OF HEADLINING EVER!
