Sasquatchfestival.com is currently unavailable and under construction so I hope there will be some updates or possible line-up news poted soon! This is like the 5th time this has happened this year, and nothing has happened. E

The fact even one of the headliner's is taking so long is starting to make me think they're really struggling with the lineup this year. It worries me.

Only TWO times in the last TEN years has Sasquatch leaked a headliner before the full lineup announcement, and one of those two times it was Pavement, who wasn't a headliner at all.
They led out with Foo Fighters last year because it was a four day festival for the first time and they had to be damn sure they could sell that many tickets.
The lack of advance headliner announcements indicates, to me, that the headliners will be more along the lines of 2010's headliners: top quality acts, but not necessarily the kind of names that are going to have the bros rushing out the door to buy tickets. I take that as a GOOD sign.
Also guys the festival isn't for another six months. Seriously relax about it.

Lump, take notice of how I didn't make any disparaging remarks about Pavement when I found myself obligated to type the name of the band.
Restraint.

While I do appreciate this, it isn't ENTIRELY true.
"who wasn't a headliner at all"

Also, you did make me feel a lot better about the lack of headliner announcement, so it balances out.

Well TECHNICALLY they weren't a headliner. Although I admit that the tone in my mind as I typed that was indeed backhanded.
Ya caught me.

Anyone notice the Sasquatch website is on "Standby"? Does this mean a lineup is close?

In before anyone else decides to be a jerk to this guy:
Basically it's been on standby off and on very frequently lately, but usually nothing really changes afterward. Though, it might be about time for an update of some sort. Maybe just in time for the new year and what not.

Maybe I should start a blog so people will think I know what I'm talking about.

To be quite honest, we haven't had a multi-day website standby right? I doubt anything will happen but if it does, I will be pleasantly surprised.

Beirut is looking pretty likely. They played every festival last year except Coachella and Sasquatch... and they're definitely playing Coachella.

This isn't really about a specific headliner, but I wanted to let you guys know: I just got an email back from the Gorge Info email address, saying "More information will be released by Late February in the sasquatch official site".
So really, nothing new was learned. But they replied!
