Whether you love him or hate him, he has made the last couple years’ lineup announcements pretty interesting. After coming out of nowhere and leaking the 2016 lineup with 100% accuracy, he came back last year and ruined everyone’s lives by “leaking” an impossibly good lineup that turned out to be completely false. Some say it was a long con and he played us, he says he thought it was real and was just surprised as the rest of us. I, for one, tend to believe him. Others want him banned. Either way, he’s back this year with a new, slowly developing list of artists whom he says will be performing next year. Since matt is running the official speculation thread and he is firmly Team Fuck This Guy, he won’t add the names Information reveals to any of the ongoing speculation lists. So, I decided to start this dedicated thread to keep a list of he says will or will not be performing so we can have a reference for when the lineup is finally released.
Performing Tash Sultana Broken Social Scene David Byrne Manchester Orchestra Mutoid Man Cut Copy Logic Kiasmos The New Pornographers Alice Merton Fleet Foxes
Not Performing St Vincent (but he’s probably wrong about this one)

For the record (pt 2):
This is not me endorsing information's claims one way or another, merely keeping an ongoing record to easily compare to the real lineup when it comes out.

Put me firmly on Team Hoping For Another Early Lineup Announcement Because I Can’t Take 2-3 Months Of Information Shenanigans

Until we get some unreal selections I think I’ll believe this lineup. This is far different than last year where we were doing mental gymnastics to even figure out who the headliners could be simply because 6 artists were easily of headliner quality. At present we’ve got a very believable undercard group with Logic being, hopefully at most, a subheadliner.

Mutoid Man will be playing. I decided to check on info's info and got this RE: Mutoid Man "They are not playing either of those festivals sadly!" Does anyone have access to a barn so we can take info out behind it?

Honestly, I'm about 50/50 on whether to believe him or not. It's hard for me to believe that he's just fucking with us, so I think he thinks he's right. But, as we all know, he thought he was right last year too. I slid into his DMs to ask him to privately share some info with me on why he thinks this year will be different than last year, but he hasn't responded, which isn't really a good look. At this point, I'm starting to believe he might be a Russian propaganda bot that went rogue after the election and started posting fake news about Sasquatch instead of Hillary.

Smash Mouth will be performing in the basement of Comet Ping Pong.

I agree that he's probably not spreading bs on purpose. It's his method of discovery that seems to be flawed. I just love that after last year he's posting confirmations with total confidence yet hasn't told us why his info is better this time around. Either way it's entertaining to have him here.

I agree. Bullshit or not, it's exciting to read Sasquatch leaks and speculation.

You guys pissed information off so he took his ball and went to Reddit. Lucky for us, I am a double agent. I'll be keeping the OP updated with any artists he announces over there (carefully sifting through the fake information posts).

The Anderson.Paak and James Blake posts cake from a different account than the Ibeyi and Fleet Foxes posts.
