Did you see Other Lives is opening for Radiohead? I really don't understand how they keep opening for such big bands...(They opened for Bon Iver if you didn't know)

I really don't understand how they keep opening for such big bands...(They opened for Bon Iver if you didn't know) I was a little surprised to see that too. How do those big bands get their openers? Do they ask specifically for them or is there some other process?

I swear I read somewhere that Radiohead insists on picking their own.
Usually with big bands its all up to whoever's promoting the tour, but of course with Radiohead, as always, there's extenuating circumstances.

I am acoldplayd by this word . Is that better? I finally got it. Thanks Wolfy. No problem. I've been in and out a lot these past few months and I'll admit it took me a little while to figure out. Most of that time was spent not realizing it was even a , though.

Foster the People will most likely be back for a late afternoon mainstage slot.

I agree about Young The Giant but I'm not happy about it. Those guys seem to be everywhere right now but they were terrible live.

That's because they're playing Coachella. I highly doubt they will be at Sasquatch next year.

There won't be any EDM repeats. This should be the case, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Skrillex late set.
