Do you think the youtube video last year sparked interest in the festival, so it has gained national attention and that is why it is almost sold out? I know, i had alot of friends on the east ask me about the festival after they saw the video.

I've been wondering the same thing funnygrrl. It definitely feels like Sasquatch has been consistently gaining more and more attention. And hell, 2.7 million views of that dance party video had to of done something!

blog.seattlepi.com/afterdark/archives/195588.aspA Seattle Blogger reaffirms the earlier rumour from the Stranger that tickets are going fast. They have had record sales, according to a rep from Live Nation this gentleman was talking to. Methodacting...it looks as though not only are you the black sheep on this board, but amongst the general population as well. Now quit regurgitating stuff you've read on Pitchfork and actually listen to some of these bands. You won't regret it I promise.

I would hope that it has more to do with the stellar line-up than the video of a dance party. Tough to say, I guess we will find out when we get in there. Either way, glad I got my ticket early!

I think the growth of the festival would attribute to general word of mouth and simply its the Gorge.
Another addition to the rumors: Cut Copy?!?!!
They just came out saying they are leaving Australia to do a bunch of summer tours. Who know if they end up here. It would be sick. But it would be a far shot.

I would let out a very girly squeal if Cut Copy got added to the lineup. Just sayin....

BTW, Thom Yorke just named his new band with Flea from RHCP and they are doing a tour starting in Apri. I'm officially starting a rumor that they will be added to Sasquatch.

Saw that earlier, would be quite the big, but unlikely add.

Didn't Street Sweeper Social Club get added later on last year? I don't know how well Tom Morello stands up against Thom Yorke and Flea but I could see it being a possible addition.

Way too big of an add. The top of the lineup is set. The only adds will play before five, unless one of the bigger draws ends up canceling.

Thom Yorke seems too big. Not impossible, but don't hold your breath.
Street Sweeper Social Club played last year... that would be a totally unnecessary repeat.
And itsover9000, I had been guessing from your name that you were a fake poster... confirmed. What I would give for mod powers.

Besnard Lakes will be back in North Amaerica come May. I believe they are doing some Canadian dates that aren't listed on their site. A friend told me the are confirmed at their club in Edmonton Alberta May 1st. Would love to have these guys at Sasquatch!!! I hope this happens and possibly some Stephen McBean in some form, actually where is any of the Jagjaguwar stuff? ?

So I'm still hoping for Cut Copy, The Dead Weather, The Besnard Lakes and Black Mountain. Now those would be great, but unlikely
