Let the games begin. The morning DJ on Seattle's alternative station mentioned rumors of Radiohead not only headlining Coachella, but Sasquatch as well next year.
Carry on.

Last year when they were doing the launch party I was drunk and following it on twatter. I actually believed that Radiohead were going to be there for a good two minutes and then was very sad. Stupid twits.

I'd be willing to bet on a EDM act headlining, especially with how popular the dance tent and Bassnectar were last year.
So...who's big enough? Deadmau5 certainly would be. Tiesto, D Guetta or Swedish House Mafia probably.

I've had a theory for the Sasquatch 2012 lineup that involves one (or two) huge headliners surrounding an underwhelming undercard, and no option to buy single day tickets.

That certainly seemed to be the direction they were moving in last year. Minus the huge headliners, of course. Honestly if they finally give us Radiohead they can put whoever the fuck else they want on the lineup.

Flaming Lips performing Lady Gaga performing Radiohead. That's as close as we will get this year folks.

Honestly if they finally give us Radiohead they can put whoever the fuck else they want on the lineup. I hope not. Dont get me wrong Radiohead is one of the best performances I have ever seen in my life, but getting to see acts that I normally wouldnt pay to see if they came through town is what makes music festivals awesome for me. I have no problem throwing down $80 for Radiohead again if they ever come through Vancouver again, but paying $300, taking 3 days off work, and all the other expenses involved with Sasquatch just for Radiohead and a few other decent acts makes me less interested in going. I'm still going to buy my tickets before they anounce the lineup anyway, but I would take a decent undercard over Radiohead headlining any day.

I wonder if they'll keep the fourth day? I'm all for it as long as the Friday lineup doesn't look like it did last time. I'm still pretty fucking pissed about that.

Friday was beyond stupid. fortunately Foo Fighters really stepped up and made the day almost worth it!
... and let's not forget BIFFY.

I was really hoping they would spread it out a bit more and make every day start at 2 instead of having Friday totally open. I never make it in before 2 anyway so I would rather 4 spread out days over 3 packed days, even if the amount of acts is almost the same.

Yeah, I don't know how you guys did it. I feel like death after 3.

Three Days would be my preference over 4.

Let's ask Drew who he thinks will be there. Drew? Well guys, I have to be honest, I've checked all my sources (band cousins) and I'm not hearing anything at this point. You'll be the first to hear when they start talking, probably after holiday get-togethers. On Nov. 30th I'm going to be a font of lineup confirmations.

I liked having a fourth day. The lineup sucked nuts except DFA79, but it was a lot of fun to show up on Thursday and have about 24 hours of partying under my belt before I had to get down to business.
