I'm pretty sure last year had about 105 acts at the end of it all, and it was only three days.

Maybe they'll add the Strokes or something to Friday. Should sell tickets and they have the popularity to claim headliner status. That's a real possibility. Bjork or My Morning Jacket would make the lineup damn near perfect, but we'll probably end up with The Imagination Dragons or some shit. Anything will be better than Of Monsters and Men and I think Zacks & Co know it. All the online music sites I've seen that have reported on the lineup announcement don't even mention them as one of the highlights and they're supposed to headline? I don't think so.

Yeah I really cannot fathom Of Monsters and Men being a headliner but what do I know? Monday still has some really good acts with Flume, Action, New Pornographers, Ought, LITTLE DRAGON, and Gogol.

I saw the New Pornographers at Pemberton last year and it was one of the smallest crowds that I was in all weekend. It was a shame because they were awesome. They were playing the soundtrack to my awkward teenage years.

Beartrap clutch as always! So yeah, we can definitely look forward to a decent amount of adds! As usual, I am sure they will predominately be early day undercard acts but lets keep our fingers crossed that we get something great for Friday!

I'm banking on one big act added Friday, a few undercarders, a few smaller or local bands, and at least one more comedy act.

I'm going to laugh so harder if they add Prince to Friday after it's already sold out. Just to see haters and naysayers freak out and scramble to Craigslist.

As it is though, with the Pemberton lineup yet to be announced, I don't think it will sell out until after they've added a real headliner to Friday.

2014 had 114 acts, 38 per day. So adds are coming.

Of Monsters & Men are definitely big enough to headline. That doesn't mean that they should.

Haven't seen this mentioned here yet, and I don't want to get my hopes up... But seems like we can almost expect a Friday headliner to be added

Of Monsters & Men haven't released anything in 4 years and have exactly 11 songs in their catalog. I don't see how they're "headline" material. Something else has to be coming.

Where did you get this from? This is a few spots from where I was camped that year. My friend Ryan is the guy pointing on the road. The camp at the bottom left contains people named Mac and Kayla among others.

Kinda bummed about the state of the Chupacabra and the electronic music in general. Hot Chip is an absolute must, Glitch Mob will put on a show, Flume is fun enough, but to me there isn't that absolutely unique DJ/producer performance we've seen over the years (Gesaffelstein, Talabot, James Murphy, etc). I also saw Budos and Chromeo at Cap Hill Block Party and Odesza about 3 times over the last year (they're great but I am a fan of how globally diverse the Sasquatch! bookings can be). I was hoping strongly for a Caribou, Brodinski, etc. and am crossing fingers for Friday to offer someone fresh (no Audion last year killed me). Very solid middle card regardless.

My initial reaction was one of mild disappointment, but really, there are hella bands on that list that I love, that I know put on excellent shows, or that I have heard put on excellent shows. I imagine once the late adds come in, on whatever level they may be, the lineup will look a bit more well rounded (R.I.P. Loud Friday.)
Speaking of loud: kinda disappointed in the lack of heavier music this year, especially since we seemed to be trending in that direction with Torche/Red Fang in 2013 and Deafheaven/Sandrider last year.

I just kind of feel like this is an off year for festivals, and I think Sasquatch is one of the better ones.
