I have a feeling this year's lineup will be more like 2010 than 2011. I don't. And you aren't allowed in this thread.

Yeah although I would fucking love to have a 2010 style festival, I just see Sasquatch going further away from what is was, and going in a more mainstream style. That's just my opinion though, who knows?

World United Lucifer Youth Foundation (cuz we are allowed to do all that is annoying in this thread), anyways, so World United Lucifer Youth Foundation have left their touring schedule wide open to preposterous speculation about them 100% being at Sasquatch. This is the first Wild Speculation with a decent chance of showing up that I am excited for.

Here's a fun speculation. Who's going to be this year's soon-to-be one hit wonder? Ala Young the Giant or The Temper Trap. Any hawt singles hit your guys' radio stations lately by unknown acts?
I was certain Foster the People would fade into "Oh that band that sung about kicks?" obscurity but I'm quite certain we'll them around for at least another album at this point.

Foster the Nutsack are not going any where, which makes me angry. But good question Pea.

Temper Trap are fucking amazing. Their first album is insanely good.
My vote would be AWOL Nation

AWOLnation or however they type it showed me there is such thing as indie-rock-nu-metal.

AWOLnation is more of a long term shitty radio rock band (ala Cage the Elephant). Sasquatch is usually good at grabbing artists before they even hit the radio (remember when foster the people were booked and had like 3 songs to their name, Owl City). I think whatever band they get that blows up, none of use will have heard of them before

Atlas Genius. They have 1 song on Grooveshark and are moving up the Alt Nation chart quickly. Catchy enough song. grooveshark.com/s/Trojans/3WDo5r?src=5This is my official guess. They've sold 10,000 of this single on itunes in the past 2 months and aren't even signed to a label.

I think that band Fun (from a previous thread) is going to be THE BIG NEW band in 2012. That song, "We Were Young", is way to catchy for them not to be.

I never thought that fun would ever get big. I listened to their debut album quite a bit when it first came out a few years ago. I kinda forgot about them.

That's a much better guess. Looking at their facebook I can't tell if they have a North American agent yet. The best predictor of the kind of push the band is going to get is if they aren't signed to a label but they are signed to a big booking agency speaking of booking agencies, if you're really bored you can always look at a booking agencies avails to see what artists are going to be touring around sasquatch time. as an example: www.flowerbooking.com/avails/quick scan of that and I noticed: Ted Leo and the Pharmacists April - May Special Situations / Festivals So I'm gonna start that rumor.

I really fucking hate bands with generic names like "Fun" that make them damn near impossible to search for on the internet.

I just checked out Grouplove and Fun on the youtubes. They do absolutely nothing for me. That Fun song is especially terrible, I'd rather listen to the "Blame it on my ADD" song all day long than hear either of that stuff again.

Grouplove made one song that I absolutely love and a bunch of other songs that annoy the heck out of me.
