Hey guys, glad you all had a good time waiting for the lineup last night! Most seem to be pretty happy with it. My thoughts? It's not a bad lineup. It probably stacks up with last year's in overall appeal: Beck, Jack White, the Shins, and a slew of other solid bands. That said, I'm gonna sit this one out. There's just nobody on the bill this year that I can justify the value of flying across the country, renting a car, and doing all the there stuff that comes along with that. Cost too high, value too low - for me that is. I sincerely hope you guys have a great time! Say hello to Beck for me

SHIT! Judging from all the empty cans and bottles it looks like everyone had a good time last night. One of my boys fell down the stairs so we spent the majority of the night in the ER making sue he was ok. He is.
Gotta say that this is one of the strangest line-ups I've seen from Sasquatch. Looks like it could be a lot of fun though and MOTHERFUCKING BECK IS PLAYING!!!! Worth the price right there.
Looking forward to some new discoveries and meeting up with you all in May.

I'm still having a hard time letting this lineup sink in, somehow believing that it can't be true. Last year there were only two bands I wanted to be in the pit for, Foo Fighters and the Flaming Lips. This year I can count at least fifteen. Jack White, he's pretty rad. He must be doing songs from all over his career if he's getting top billing, right? I'm overwhelmed with this lineup seeing Beck, The Roots, The D, Feist, Metric, Beirut, Silversun Pickups... jesus I'm gonna be sore after Memorial Day weekend from all my time in the pit. I've wanted to see The Roots and Tenacious D for YEARS and now they're both on the same lineup.

I still can't sleep due to a bad case of Sasquatch fever. The Bigfoot stage is crazy stacked, y'all.

Did you miss Beck or something? Been there done Beck, and it sucked. I would really be paying, 400 bucks to hang out with everyone. Love you all but looks like Coachella and Roo (maybe) only for me. Really? I've heard from several that Beck is life changing. I, however, haven't caught him and wouldn't mind the opportunity. But unfortunately, I'll have to keep my fingers crossed he'll be at Bonnaroo or touring the southeast, because I won't be able to afford Sasquatch this year. YAY ADULTHOOD! The lineup is pretty exciting. I hope y'all have a blast. A little piece of me is going to die a bit over memorial day weekend. I'll miss seeing all of your faces and hanging out at the gorge. Ah-- and for those of y'all who haven't seen Zola Jesus and are curious about her, she's nuts. But good nuts. Be sure to see her.

So! That was something hey? The next morning and I'm still pretty damn psyched about the lineup.
Really really cool stuff on there, but holy smokes the lineup drops off in a hurry.
Any idea when we find out the day by day breakdown? It looks like I'm not going to be able to get Tuesday off, so I'm going to have to bounce on Monday....pleasepleaseplease don't have Beck on Monday

I guess it depends on who you talk to. I was a HUGE Beck fan already back in 2008 when I saw him, and maybe that had something to do with why I thought it was mind blowing. I don't understand how anyone could have thought that Bumbershoot performance sucked.

I am not a huge electronic/dance fan so I never thought Pretty Lights would be in my top 5 absolutely can't wait to see acts, but they are. That shit on the main stage is going to be wild. 20,000 people on droooogz, glowsticks, light show......oh man. Gonna be nuts.

I can't even get the website to load Bigfoot has The Roots, Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, St. Vincent, Little Dragon, Tune-Yards, Wild Flag, The Walkmen, Spiritualized, The Cave Singers, Shabazz Palaces, Dum Dum Girls, Helio Sequence... and others. Yeah, it's stacked.

Now begins the speculation about horrible conflicts. I'm gonna shed a tear if there's any conflicts with about 20 of these bands, and I know there will be at least a couple.

It just hit me how awesome John C. Reilly will be to see. If you've seen Walk Hard then you will understand why. That's a pretty random yet insanely cool act they snagged.

Oh and yea Zola Jesus and Active Child got the fucking shaft being slated for the Yeti stage. It just DOESN'T work for artists with electronic sounds in their music.
