I'll just say it now. My "insider" dude called The Knife not being on that lineup last week (wonk will back me up), and said it would be one of Sasquatch's biggest gets over Coachella.

Also, I am now really fucking scared that the XX appear to be big enough to headline Sasquatch. They are billed above Sigur Ros and the Postal Service. Oh man, I might skip Sasquatch out of spite if that happened.

Alright, theres lots to be excited about....but those headliners. Woof.
Jurassic 5 (!!!!!) and Lou Reed are pretty awesome surprises.
Prydz, Moby, Simian and Richie Hawtin are some fucking awesome EDM.
FOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Even though the Postal Service has released one album to the XX's two, it astounds me that they're billed lower than the XX.

How To Destroy Angels, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Grinderman, Blur, Four Tet, and Thee Oh Sees are the main exciting ones for me. Lots of other steady acts, but I've seen 'em quite a few times so the excitement isn't there yet, but I'm sure it will be.

Pretty crazy that Trent Reznor and Maynard James Keenan will both be there...with side projects.

Roni Size and Loco Dice are great too. I've been a Roni Size fan for a long time, and haven't seen him on a bill for a long time.

Who's the Friday night main stage EDM act? Bassnectar. Which I'm sure you'll be excited for because if memory serves me right 2011 and 2012 where he headlined a gazillion fests and was the token EDM guy at all the others didn't actually happen. 2011 and 2012 didn't exist! Never happened. So this is gonna be a very innovative and fresh idea for us all.

Thumbs up to Sigur Ros, Grizzly Bear, Modest Mouse, Lou Reed, Four Tet, Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, Purity Ring, Wu-Tang Clan, Thee of Sees, Spiritualized and James Blake (only 5 of which I haven't already seen). But yeah, relatively speaking, a bit of a pooper. Although, there won't be a lineup that comes even close to touching that Primavera shit. Sasquatch, however, does have a chance to rival Coachella this year though, especially if Pea's source is correct.

I recognize I'm in the minority here, but I'll take this year's headliner crop over last year's.
RHCP > Dre and Snoop; Phoenix > Black Keys; Blur and Stone Roses playing classic shit > Radiohead playing new shit

The lack of massive EDM names on the second line is a big change from last year. I wonder if that was intentional or they actually think Social D is a bigger draw than Pretty Lights and Eric Prydz.
Overall it's a decent lineup, but like nick said it doesn't blow me away like previous Coachella lineups have. Probably not worth the money and vacation time for me.
