Considering we have Saturday booked for Sigur Ros and Monday for The Postal Service, my guess would be Macklemore on Friday and Mumford on Sunday. Are we even sure those are the 4 headliners? The main Sasquatch site has 6 acts listed on the front page (those four plus The xx and Vampire Weekend) which continuously change order and on the poster it is basically impossible to define the first 4 acts due to it's shape. I just can't see the Postal Service or Macklemore headlining over acts that have enough material to play a 90 minute set without digging into B sides and covers. I wouldn't even be shocked if the fest itself isn't sure, which is why they are so ambiguous about it.

When you go to "View Full Lineup" it is always the same 4 at the top. If my memory serves me correctly.

Sigur Ros was move above Macklemore on the Sasquatch website's lineup list. All is right in the world. Maybe, but burrito seems to think they switched around the order of the top 4 at least. I'm still a bit sceptical, but I'm willing to bet those 6 get similar length sets regardless of when they play.

Don't underestimate Macklemore's draw in the northwest, or his ability to put on at least a 90 minute set. He has no shortage of material. He'll probably have the biggest main stage crowd of the weekend if it isn't Mumford that draws the most. I'd almost put money on them not shuffling the headliners at all. All four are capable of drawing massive crowds, Sigur Ros will probably have the smallest crowd of the four due to a ton of people not even knowing who they are.

Macklemore is confirmed to be headlining, but yeah I've seen the order switch around a bit as well.

They've moved a lot of bands around to reflect their popularity, but other than Sigur Ros moving from #4 to #3 the top 4 have remained the same.

Sigur Ros actually has an enormous West Coast following due to KEXP, so don't be surprised if their crowd is one of the biggest of the weekend.

None of my friends have even heard of Sigur Ros, and most of them have been going to Sasquatch with me since 2009. Not that that's reflective of the whole Northwest, but I think they're not very well known in comparison to the other three headliners.

Sigur Ros will have the biggest crowd of people who have been listening to music for more than 3 years, and largest crowd size overall (albeit unfairly) due to whales.

Sigur Ros actually has an enormous West Coast following due to KEXP Huh? KEXP is the indie radio station for Seattle. They're fucking rad, and they go to Iceland every year to cover the Iceland Airwaves festival. I used to work there and literally everyone there jizzes themselves over Sigur Ros. I've yet to meet a Seattle music nerd who isn't totally in love with Jonsi.

Oh I'm a big fan of KEXP, I just wasn't aware that they covered Sigur Ros so heavily.
