I updated the first post of this thread to reflect recent additions. One thing notable is that Mad Rad was added to the Yeti stage, which was already full. I went back to the main site and clicked on each Yeti stage act only to discover Viva Voce has been moved to the Wookie.
The interesting thing about this is that it appears the organizers are sticking to the time slot formula of last year. Saturday and Sunday are now full, and Monday has one spot empty, and that would be a main stage slot.
Personally, I think Monday will be the toughest day to sell out, even though there are a lot of great acts on the undercard. The organizers might base their final addition on ticket sales so far. For all of you hoping an extra headliner will be added, you might get your wish if Monday ticket sales have been terrible. I think the top two on the main stage are set for Monday, but an add billed higher than the Silversun Pickups would be great.

Thanks for the updating. The schedule seems really fleshed out. It seems like it would be pretty close if not right on, if they use the same format as last year.
I agree on the adding somebody with some umph to the Monday main stage. I am still hoping for a Deerhoof add, but I dont know how many more tickets would sell. I said this before, not that it makes it any more likely, but with the Strokes and Interpol both working on new albums maybe they could take a studio break and try out some new material in a festival setting. Both acts would be big time ticket sellers. Unless, they pull out the Dead Weather, and bill it their first ever full live appearance. That would be pretty sweet and would sell some tickets.

So for a few days now, the main website has said that a stage schedule would be coming soon; when can we expect this? And how concrete will it be?

This is not the actual schedule (but it should look pretty similar): Saturday 10:00 Kings of Leon 8:15 Yeah Yeah Yeahs 8:45 Mos Def 6:50 Decembrists 7:15 Bon Iver 6:30 Ra Ra Riot 5:25 Animal Collective 6:00 Sun Kill Moon 5:25 Mt St Helens Vietnam Band 4:20 Devotchka 4:45 King Khan & The Shrines 4:20 AA Bondy 3:15 M. Ward 3:40 Shearwater 3:15 Arthur & Yu 2:10 Doves 2:35 Passion Pit 2:10 Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele 12:55 Gaslight Anthem 1:30 Blind Pilot 1:05 Champagne Champagne 12:00 Vince Mira 12:30 Owl City 12:00 Death Vessel Sunday 10:00 Jane's Addiction 8:00 NIN 8:45 Of Montreal 6:35 TV on the Radio 7:15 M83 6:30 Dodos 5:10 Murder City Devils 6:00 Airborne Toxic Event 5:25 Submarines 4:05 Avett Brothers 4:45 Wrens 4:20 Builders and the Butchers 3:00 Street Sweeper 3:40 St. Vincent 3:15 Japandroids 2:00 Calexico 2:35 John Vanderslice 2:10 Fences 12:40 Mike Watt & the Missingmen 1:30 Hockey 1:05 Point Juncture, WA 11:45 Walkmen 12:30 Viva Voce 12:00 Mad Rad Monday 9:00 Ben Harper & Relentless7 8:15 Erykah Badu 8:30 Explosions in the Sky 7:15 Silversun Pickups 7:00 Girl Talk 6:30 Beach House 6:05 Fleet Foxes 5:55 Blitzen Trapper 5:25 Dutchess and the Duke 4:40 Gogol Bordello 4:40 The Knux 4:20 School of Seven Bells 3:30 Santigold 3:35 Montonix 3:15 Horse Feathers 2:10 Grizzly Bear 2:30 Bishop Allen 2:10 Pica Beats 1:05 Hearless Bastards 1:25 Black Moth Super Rainbow 1:05 Loch Lomond 12:10 OPEN 12:20 Other Lives 12:00 BLK JKS 11:30 Mugison Keep in mind that the mainstage will open with a local/NW act each day (look back they have done this every year). Vince Mira for Saturday makes sense, but consider Mad Rad or Japandroids for Sunday and maybe a yet to be announced for Monday...

I noticed that the official site has many of the set times up if you click on each of the artist's links. I don't have time to update this right now, hopefully knowiduh does, it would be interesting to see how it looks altogether.

there's something wrong with the times listed on some of the artist links, headliners are only listed for 1 hour timeslots. at least i hope that's a mistake and we actually get full sets from them, otherwise a lot of people are going to feel jipped.

The schedule is not looking so hot right now, even with just the few times they have down. I was hoping to possibely catch both the YYY and Bon Iver and Erykah and Girl Talk, but they're making it impossible!!!

I think they are just reaffirming the order up top, which was the easiest part to predict. I don't have time to update the list currently, but I did switch Mos Def and Bon Iver. It seems obvious the plan is for Bon Iver to close the Wookie, for now.
The starting times for each band looks accurate, while the length of the set is obviously wrong. For example, NIN is starting at 8, which makes much more sense as a dual headliner, while the YYYs are starting at 815, giving them at least 15 minutes less to play than NIN, since the headliners start at 10 each night. Do you really think NIN will finish at 9, and have an hour intermission for Jane's Addiction?

Do you really think NIN will finish at 9, and have an hour intermission for Jane's Addiction? Yeah, the top of your schedule looks pretty right on to what they posted. They have the Yeah Yeah Yeahs starting at 8:30. It also seems like the comedy tents are all set with the comedians having their times posted. Most of the acts have times, except the People's Republic of Komedy. Whats weird is the dance acts. They have James Pants and Natalie Portman's going from 9:00 pm to 9:00 pm on their respective days. So I guess the dance tent stuff will start at 9 except since there are three dance tent people on Monday with Amanda Blank starting at 7:30 to 8:30. But they dont have when the dance "headliners" will start. I would figure like 10:30ish going until 12ish. It would be cool if they played after the Sasquatch stage headliner was finished, like from 12:00 to 2:00 but since the band before them plays at 9 it does not seem likely. I assume that the last band on each stage basically gets 1.5 to 2 hours, right? I am hoping to get at least a 1.5 hour set from Of Montreal going from 8:45 to 10:15. Is this reasonable to expect?

the last band pretty much plays how ever long they feel like playing, the cure went for almost 3 hours last year. they had better give NIN at least an hour and a half slot.

I was hoping for a 1.5 hour set out of Of Montreal. I hope that they don't go too long because I want to see most of Janes. I am hoping that I get about 45 minutes of NIN, then run to see Of Montreal from 8:45 to about 10:15 then catching the rest/majority of Janes. I think NIN goes from 8:00 to 9:45 with Janes coming on around 10:15, so they both get about 1:45 for their sets. NIN usually plays longer sets than Jane's from the shows that I have seen. NIN definitely has more material to pull from. Also its about the tenth show of tour so they should be able to transition from NIN to Janes in about 30 minutes. I wonder how crazy the NIN set up is going to be? Its going to be hard to outdo the lights in the sky set up, but I am sure that Trent will come up with something cool.

Relatively few really bad conflicts for me. The Bon Iver vs. Yeah's is probably the worst but knowing that there are always conflicts at any festival this really isn't that bad. I've had times where the two bands I most wanted to see at an entire festival played at the exact same time and that is the worst.

i'm pretty disappointed that there's no alternatives to KOL on saturday unless you want to go to the dance tent. that'll probably be my night to go back to the campground early and get tanked. at least on monday there's girl talk and explosions in the sky to see instead of erykah badu and ben harper.

WTF where's peter bjorn and john??? did they drop the festival? shitty... i was really looking forward to that one.
also, the animal collective / sun kil moon conflict is not cool. wanted to see AC, what with all the hype and stuff, but i'm a big kozelek fan so it looks like that ain't happening for me. the dodos / TVOTR clash is also problematic.
those grievances aside, though, i'm extremely excited. and i accept that every festival has its inevitable scheduling conflicts...

peter bjorn and john canceled so they could tour with depeche mode. if you want to see sun kil moon, they have a show in portland on may 21st. i bought a ticket for that a while back myself because i knew there would be a conflict. matt costa opens for them so it should be great.

The Blitzen Trapper vs. Gogol Bordello situation is also problematic however. The other problem with Bon Iver is that they end 15 min before KoL starts. Maybe they'll play their shitty new stuff first so I won't miss anything good.
