Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age, WEEN, Pixies, The xx, Primus, Animal Collective, Atmosphere, Action Bronson.
More a wishlist than anything, but all the above seem reasonable.

I think the Killers, Cage the Elephant, and Odesza are likely headliners. Also, St. Vincent, Gogol Bordello, Primus, Arctic Monkeys, Fleet Foxes, the War on Drugs, Future Islands, Grizzly Bear.
Rampant speculation: Goat, Shpongle, Foo Fighters, Arcade Fire, the Decemberists, Andrew Bird.
Does anyone think Queens of the Stone Age would come back?

Does anyone think Queens of the Stone Age would come back? No. They very clearly were not having a good time last time they played, so I wouldn't see them begging to come back. And, judging by the size of their crowd last time and the general Sasquatch demographic these days, I don't see Zacks actively courting them either.

Aminé - Hot, young hip hop artist, critical darling, Portland local artist. As close to a sure thing as I can speculate at this point.

#1 on my Sasquatch wishlist for next year is for Burrito to be able to stay the whole weekend. Hashtag fuck the police.

Also Beck. I speculated him pretty hard last year and I think he's fairly likely for next year for the same reasons I expected him last year. Also, Jack White should have new material and be ready to return to playing live by next summer. I would love for him to make a triumphant return. Really, if we could just repeat all of 2012's headliners, that would probably be the ideal situation for me since I didn't attend that year and I've regretted it ever since.

Some of my current predictions
The Killers, Lana Del Ray, Odesza, Macklemore St. Vincent, Portugal. The Man, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Foster the People, Brand New, Justice, Khalid, SZA, Algiers, The Growlers, Dan Auerbach.
Not that i like it, but I doubt we will have any past headliners return like The National, QotSA, Jack White, Beck, Foo Fighters.... Seems like Sasquatch is headed in the opposite direction with their headlining bookings and they're more likely to book newer, hipper acts. The Killers don't fit that, but I am keeping them as a guess because of their tour dates.

Earl Sweatshirt plz, he hasn't hit Seattle in a long time. Also, I want them to bring back Four Tet real bad.

I really like the new Wolf Parade album, but they're playing in Seattle in January, so maybe no Sasquatch for them.

Grizzly Bear: I know they're playing the PNW in December, but I don't think that rules them out. It isn't unheard of for a band to play Seattle in December then return for Sasquatch. I expect them to be hitting the festival circuit pretty hard next summer and I think they would line up perfectly for a sub-headlining spot, similar to The Shins or MGMT's role this year.

Combined with the fact that they just played Sasquatch not to long ago, I would say it makes them a bit of a long shot.

Combined with the fact that they just played Sasquatch not to long ago, I would say it makes them a bit of a long shot. That Seattle date doesn't rule them out, but I would be surprised if they're on the lineup. They last played in 2011 (second-to-last date before their breakup, if I recall correctly), and the festival has changed a lot since then. To be very general, the highest-billed dance/electronic artist (Bassnectar) and the highest-billed pop artist (Robyn) were listed 10 and 11 on the poster. The highest-billed hip-hop act was Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, buried down on the 7th line. My point is: I don't know how much room there is on Sasquatch's lineup for '00s indie rock bands like Wolf Parade, Broken Social Scene, or even Grizzly Bear anymore. I think MGMT and the Shins are different because they reached higher highs. Sure, "Two Weeks" was a huge, but Grizzly Bear's hits don't match MGMT's or the Shins'.
