It will probably happen one-two in the middle of March. Three-Four at the end of April. Along with 2-3 cancellations (Maybe Janes Addiction will cancel! )Then two weeks before 2-3 more announced

I have to agree with most other comments on this forum. The lineup is good, but not great, at least for headliners. I have been to Sasquatch for the past three years and none of these have me jumping for joy, as they have in the past. Especially given that both NIN and Ben Harper were there in '06 (but with much anticipated Flaming Lips and Beck)...this time around, bleh. I do look forward to seeing KoL but am very disappointed that some of the other rumors did not pan out i.e. Band of Horses, MGMT, Vampire Weekend, Gomez and especially the unlikely rumor of Tool and Pearl Jam...these would have made Sasquatch '09 another epic year. The second tier lineup seems pretty good but I'm not familiar with all bands. Who has some advice on who I cannot miss this year?

Do not miss Explosions in the Sky. Actually, skip them. Everyone should skip them so that there is a smaller crowd when I have my life given meaning again.

DeVotchKa is pretty tight,too. and yeah, Josh, from the little I've heard, EitS are pretty sweet. My friend from Oly(we go to school together, but we'll be in our own locales by the festival weekend, but thats not really important) are listening to a lot of the more obscure(at least to us) acts playing. So far, out of the little smatterings we've heard: thats just the little we listened to in like the last 1/2 hour. I'm sure between now and May we'll get what we like and what we don't pretty much hammered out. Hopefully there won't be too many staging conflicts.

Bon Iver was the biggest shocker for me, BY FAR.

The 2 best live bands I saw all of last year, and 2 of the best albums of 2008.

Yeah Fleet Foxes are worth $54 of the dollars right there. Each day is well worth the money. I am definitely going. But it would be a nice bonus if another couple bands like The Shins, or Arcade Fire, or Andrew Bird/Sufjan Stevens came somehow haha.

There is still the mystery of why Death Cab and The Shins were listed on that TV thing on the development site. My hunch is that it was a link to pictures or videos from past performances, but you never know. Can't see Death Cab playing again, they covered the NW last year like poo on a blanket.

I doubt Death Cab would play. I wouldn't mind it though, thats for sure. But The Shins would be a very nice touch.

But The Shins would be a very nice touch. as a death cab fan, hopefully they won't be there. i saw them 4 times last year out of the 7 or 8 shows they played in the area. i don't care to see them again until their next record comes out.

I saw Death Cab last year and they were pretty awesome. I have always wanted to see The Shins but have never had the chance. Agreed that either would be completely rad!

Wow, I am extremely impressed by this lineup (since we already knew the headliners were a step down from previous years). One thing the big four festivals always have compared to Sasquatch is a strong middle tier. Sasquatch has never really had that. This will be the first year I spend 8+ hours at the festival each day.
Those who are disappointed in the lineup, are you only interested in bands with more radio success, or do you have a specific type of music you like? Sure this lineup would be over the top with Pearl Jam, but this is one of the best lineup Sasquatch has put out.
