Had a dream last night that Shabazz Palaces, Shakey Graves, and Smashing Pumpkins were all playing Sasquatch so I'd say they're all confirmed.

Absolutely nothing backing this but it would be cool to see Survive play Sasquatch in 2017, they are the ones who did the Stranger Things soundtrack... take a listen to RR7349 album if you haven't already!

A Tribe Called Quest's final-album drops Nov. 11 They could sub or sub-sub headline Sasquatch, eh? I don't know, no tour plans announced yet, but RIP to Phife! I think they will return & tour in his honor no? Here's them at the Gorge in 2008 vimeo.com/1815737They fill a prominent old school role like Digable Planets, De La, but are almost hip-hop headliner level? Idk that's how I feel, & would love to see them at Sas..

Songs like Check the Rhime from The Low End Theory, a personal favorite, simply wouldn't work live without him. If they're on the lineup I wouldn't be upset, but i don't know if they're headliner level anymore.

I highly doubt Tribe would tour without Phife.

Even if they don't commit to a tour they have a credible history of one-offs at festivals in the last 5 years. Q-Tip emphasized the new album wouldn't feature a lot of old Phife verses, that it would be new, raw, relevant material so why wouldn't they tour off that? Anyone that knows a little ATCQ history knows Phife had trouble touring and held these guys back a lil because of his health. What do you think?

Definitely, anything is in the music business as of late so why not? I guess it's just a little hard to believe because for the most part a festival has to have a lot of their important pieces signed by now you would think and with this news just coming to light I'm curious if it's a little too late.

Thankfully The Weeknd announced his tour and won't be our big headliner. I'm sure it isn't a big concern for most but after last year who knows.

Radiohead's European tour starts a week after Sasquatch and they haven't announced any North American dates yet. I know it doesn't mean anything, but if there was any single band that could save Sasquatch, it's Radiohead.

1. The Weeknd would actually be an excellent headliner for Sasquatch.
2. Radiohead will never headline Sasquatch.

Run the Jewels plays Seattle in February. While this doesn't rule them out for Sasquatch, I think it does make them ever so slightly less likely.

I didn't mean The Weeknd would be bad but rather I don't like seeing Bumbershoot headliners bleed over into the following year at Sasquatch (looking at you Macklemore.) As for Run the Jewels, they have a tenacious touring schedule not dissimilar to Vince Staples who played Seattle February this year as well as Sasquatch. So it's less likely but anything is possible.

For what it's worth, Foxygen announced a 23-date spring North American tour wrapping mid-April with no dates in the Pacific Northwest.

Japandroids have their new album coming out January 27th, and with them being quite literally the first band I saw at Sasquatch in 2013 I have an incredibly large soft spot for them. I would love to see them return in 2017.

STRFKR just announced a lot of dates for next year with Seattle being 03/24, with a heavy heart I would say we can rule them out.
