There's what, 55 bands? Expect 15-25 more before it's all said and done. I count 56 on the Sasquatch website...not including The Mars Volta. Unless they are planning on allowing longer sets than previous years then they will definitely need a few more bands to fill up all 3 stages.

Yeah I like the possibility of City&Colour being there? Was wondering a couple things. 1. Breeders closing a second stage possibly? 2. Tegan and Sarah definitly not Main Stage right? 3. Chris Walla putting on a solo show on small stage? 4. Postal Service? 5. Oh and where the heck is Harvey Danger or Nada Surf? I mean Harvey Danger didn't show last year except for a guest appearance during the Long Winters (Yawn!) and they releasd a disc last year. Also Nada Surf just released "Lucky" and its as solid as "This Weight is a Gift"? Are they in Europe? Both those bands could headline a side stage if ite 3 days. 6. Where's Tokyo Police Club? They're touring like mad men they'll have been to Calgary 5 times in the last year. And I'm pretty sure anyone who saw they're set last year that they put on a pretty energetic show. Albeit I believe the Mainstage was closed during their set due to the Winds, so they had more fans than expected. 7. Could we still see a solo Eddie Vedder Set? Probably not but? 8. Who's stocked to finally see M.I.A! I bet she puts on one of the best performances of the weekend cause she missed last year. 9. Do you think Sasquatch feels obligated to bring back bands that get shafted from previous years. I read that last year they called the Long Winters first because the first year they appeared @ the festival they got shut down half way through their set?? Wish I could source the quote?? And they also brought Neko Case Back cause of the hail storm. And this year Micheal Franti and Spearhead are back cause they got pooped to side stage because of Winds. Can't believe peeps actually skiped the Beasties to see this guy, when you can just see him this year but on a bigger stage. Plus if any of you on the message board have heard of "Shambala" a summer festival in BC. He plays there almost every year. Still doesn't answer the fact that Ozomaliti is at the 'Quatch for the 2nd year in a row. I get it, you play your instruments in the crowd. Fantastic! Still dissapointed that Weezer isn't in the line-up. And other than M.I.A there isn't much in the way of a Hip-Hop contingioncy? That I'm farmiliar with. I am stocked though that Ghostland Observatory is back. Anyone that missed them last year, don't make that same mistake twice.

So I saw on Radioheads website today that they have released the dates of eight shows in May that are mostly on the eastern seaboard and texas. That's all right and everything but it also gives about 10-15 more tentative locations for dates that they will do in August? What are they doing for the 2 and a half months in between. And for a band that says they want to be more carbon neutral, stopping a North American tour for that long to go overseas and then come back would be absured? Unless they plan to tour South America for almost a month and half? If you looked on the tour dates page of their website you would see that they're in Europe through June and July.

Mars Volta will second headline day 3 (the jam band sort of day) once they get confirmed, which is just a matter of time.
There are other "big" bands to come, which I assume means bands on the scale of The Hives or The Kooks and not MM or Flaming Lips

If the Mars Volta are added I will be beside myself with happiness. That would put this line up over the top.
And MGMT make sense, I could see them being added.

holy crap, this one gets me excited. the UK's 'foals' have just released their north american dates. theres a pretty big gap between LA and Portland, but wow, just maybe...
Minneapolis 7th St Entry (28) Madison High Noon Saloon (29) Buffalo Big Orbits Sound Lab (May 1) Toronto Lee's Palace (2) Montreal Cabaret (3) Burlington Higher Ground Lounge (5) Cambridge Middle East (6) San Francisco Pop Scene (22) Los Angeles Troubadour (24) Portland Doug Fir Lounge (28) Vancouver Richards on Richards (29) Seattle Neumo's (30)

Is that Vancouver Canada or Vancouver Wa? If the latter, doubtful. If the former..still doubtful, but they'd have a nutty tour schedule to accommodate it.

I feel bad for everyone who skipped any bands to see Spearhead, cuz he played at the end of the night after the Beasties were ending.
1and2 on the list, both are 50/50. Tegan and Sara are hugely popular and sell out anything they play up here, but that's something a second stager needs.
Walla is very likely
Not so much the postal service.
Nada Surf/Harvey Danger (and Fall of Troy, Schoolyard Heroes, etc.). Look how many local bands there are. Look how many will likely be on other stages (Walla? Blue Scholars? Tegan/Sara?). They usually run a 6-8 band local stage. Do we have 18-24 of those yet? If not, expect more.
Tokyo Police: Well, they hit both Washington festivals last year didn't they? I'm not sure how eager either side is to have them back, based on thenumber of repeats though, it's possible.
Eddie Vedder would be a huge pull for Sasquatch, and would likely be announced very soon or very late, either to boost early sales or hold up flagging ones

Weird that they'd do Portland, then Vancouver, then Seattle..you'd think Seattle and Vancouver would be flipped.

Its on the other side of the Rockies But they lived and recorded a lot of their music in BC for a long time so there's your NW connection. I think Tegan and Sara will be early on the main stage if only because they're listed above Ozomatli and New Pornographers on the website

I'm totally stoked about the possibility of MGMT being there. I'm hoping with all my might that one of the "bigger" bands still to be announced is either the Raconteurs or someone of that magnitude.
Can someone give me some suggestions for the Mars Volta bc I never got into them!

I guess there last album was how bout their first 2? I agree that there is that connection. But take this for what its worth Bon Jovi have recorded 3 albums in Vancouver and Richie Sambora has a house there. Are they from the PNW or are they from Jersey?

MGMT would be sweet. A lot of fun to listen to, and would definitely be a band worth going to see!

I know lot's of people have problems with the time signatures they use but as a former percussionist I have no prob convulsing along to the beat. *fingers crossed they get confirmed
