The major problem with that is the Cribs are playing Seattle soon and Spoon is going to Primaver, which doesn't count either out, but puts serious doubt into their arrival
Hopefully some of this years undercard comes to Sasquatch
JAy-z is weak for Coachella?
thats interesting.
Yeah, the guy only headlined Glastonbury a couple years ago, and that set was awesome - check youtube.
Another related hip-hop question, with Jay-Z at Coachella but no Beastie Boys, does that mean that its more likely for the Beastie Boys to be at Sasquatch? I could see them starting off their 2010 tour with a Sasquatch show. Of course it depends on MCA's health, but last I heard he was doing well in recovery.
Looking at the crossover acts that are a possibility with tour dates in Seattle I would say any of these could be up for grabs: LCD Soundsystem Them Crooked Vultures Vampire Weekend Passion Pit (skip Seattle almost means they will be there again) She & Him Faith No More MGMT The Dead Weather (I always get my hopes up for Jack White at Sasquatch) Hot Chip Dirty Projectors SDRE Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros Local Natives Miike Snow (cancelled their Seattle show) Owen Pallett The Middle East Jonsi The Glitch Mob
For me, Coachella opens up a few possibilities I hadn't considered would be doing festivals: Sleigh Bells and Mayer Hawthorne chief among them for me, but also now there's the million-to-one shot that DJ FREAKIN' LANCE ROCK shows up at Sasquatch. If he does the dance tent it would be amazing: I saw him last year open up for the Aquabats, the crowd really gets into it if they don't mind rolling their eyes a bit.
It seems like many individuals are upset with the headliners for Coachella and Bonnaroo. The nice thing about Sasquatch is that I am usually caught off guard with the lineup each year because it is consistently amazing, but focuses on smaller bands. With bigger fests like Coach and Roo, people set their standards way to high because of they have high standards, but leads to disappointment sometimes. People on the Coachella board are always hoping for amazing artists from David Bowie to Outkast. But inforoo had it pretty bad this year with early speculation that The Stones, Macca or Neil Young would be there only to find out that its KoL, DMB, Jay Z and Stevie Wonder. Jay Z and Stevie Wonder would be amazing, but KoL and DMB are a HUGE letdown compared to the possible headliners.
I think if we get Jay-Z(VERY doubtful), they need a strong headliner to go against him on the second stage. My interest with Jay-Z peaks with "99 Problems".

You also have to Dr. Garbanzoure in that Bonnaroo and Coachella are both $260+ and they get anywhere from 50,000 to 90,000 people. They are both "destination" festivals with people flying across the country to go to them. They are expected to have headliners with WOW factor and they have the ticket sale revenue to pull it off. Plus between the two of them in the past couple years they have had Phish, Bruce, Macca, Prince, the Police, Radiohead, etc. These are the biggest names in the music industry (not phish- but their fans are hardcore and it was a reunion tour). So they have to bring the heat each year with their headliners. If I was planning on going to Roo - I would be straight pissed off with KOL, Dave Matthews, Jay-Z and Stevie Wonder. Even though I would love to see Jay-Z and Stevie Wonder. Although, I don't know why people are pissed with Coachella's headliners/subheadliners but I think they are great. I've been to both festivals multiple times and they are both great. I might like the music better at Coachella, but Bonnaroo has the better overall experience.
With Sasquatch, we know we should have lower expectations because the ticket revenue is not there to bring in Prince, Bruce, Macca, etc. But the festival organizers do a good job with the subheadliners and sub-sub headliners, so that it keeps people coming back. Not to mention the pricing is about $100 cheaper per ticket and it is the most amazing place to see a concert.

2cents.
This should be shown to everyone who registers an account here. It's a really simple concept but for the most part, sasquatch can not afford the "gets" at coachella or bonnaroo. I'm still amazed that so many people are complaining about jay-z. I would kill for jay-z to be at sasquatch (he won't, the organizers of coachella and bonnaroo pay to make sure that their big headliners are exclusive to their event)
I'd also be SUPER pissed with the Bonnaroo headliners. That would seriously be baffling considering all the talk about how big this year was supposed to be. The lineup isn't out yet, but it seems like those headliners are pretty legit. To go from Bruce, Phish (Roo favs but def not mine x2), NIN and the Beasties to Jay and Wonder which is sweet, but not that exciting.
