I spent a few minutes looking at random Sasquatch artist tour dates. Looks like we can mark down Tune-yards for Sunday, Shakey Graves for Saturday, and Spoon for Friday. Also, according to Grizzly Bear's website they are coming to the Gorge on March 25 grizzly-bear.netWhat other evidence do we have for Spoon and Grizzly Bear? I feel like they are billed too close together and are off similar popularity that they would probably both play the same time slot in different days. Just a feeling I have, though. I agree about the Friday dates. I only mentioned Grizzly Bear because of the bizarre March date.

Gang of youths play Vancouver Saturday night so they will likely be on Friday as well... And Portland on Thursday. I think Friday makes sense for them.

billions.com/shows#This is the booker for some of the acts. Looks like we've got Neko Case locked in for Sunday and Hurray for the Riff Raff locked in for Saturday.

EOTS EITS (sadly Empire of the Sun will not be performing) are in for Saturday as well. Hurray for the Riff Raff say Friday now on that site, did it change?

Looks like Tyler, The Creator will NOT be playing on the Sunday as we initially thought. He's playing some hip hop festival in Minnesota on the Sunday. Moving Tyler to Friday and David Byrne to Saturday (still works with his schedule). Edit: Ray moved to Sunday by default since we have no other info for him.

I'm wondering if Tyler will be the late night performer on the Bigfoot? Tyler into Bon Iver seems strange to me. This would still allow David Byrne to sub the mainstage.

In a post Flower Boy world, Tyler is too big to play anything but mainstage in my opinion. If this is how everything plays out, where do you think Byrne/National is going to fall on a scale of the Cure to Sleater Kinney in terms of attendance?

He's the 5th name on the poster, so there's no way he's on the Bigfoot. As for your second question, I'm not sure what you're looking for. Byrne will likely be playing Saturday and The National are confirmed for Sunday and The Cure and SK didn't even play in the same year. I think you have a valid thought there somewhere, it just escapes me at first glance.

DBs website still says Friday, and it doesn’t look like a Friday default since it has him on Saturday for other 3 day festivals.

Would make sense that DB is on Friday and Tyler subs Modest Mouse on Saturday

DBs website still says Friday, and it doesn’t look like a Friday default since it has him on Saturday for other 3 day festivals. When I looked at it this morning it said "May 25-27th" with no specific date set. And Tyler is definitely committed other places on Saturday and Sunday. So unless they both play the same day, Byrne has to be Saturday. I could see a very small possibility of Byrne closing the Bigfoot just for the sake of his show requiring full darkness, but it would be the first time I know of when somebody that highly billed played the Bigfoot.

I think I misread some posts and assumed it'd be the National and Byrne Sunday. The joke being that that combo would be fighting with previous years for the least attended mainstage of the weekend.

Would seem like a shot in the foot to put him that late since his most devout fans are of the older crowd that would struggle to make it that late

The only reasonable conclusion I can draw is that your phone is enormous.
