I personally, due to recent experience, have to strongly urge anyone in search for a mindblowing experience to see girls and neon indian. Theyre the best acts ive seen this year. MGMT and Passion Pit will keep the feet moving, Then No Age, tUNE yARDS, dirty projectors, minus the bear? This line-up is quite powerful.....

Here's to hoping that all the DJs aren't lined up directly against the headliners. That's probably wishful thinking though.

The lineup is in this nice valley where it's good enough that I might go, but not good enough that I'd hate myself for not going.

It is such a deep lineup, and the dance tent will be awesome. I know it is silly to think they might add any more big (or even semi-big names) but I was really hoping for one of Phoenix, Yeasayer, or Regina Spektor to be there (mostly because those are some of my wife’s favorite groups). With Phoenix and Spektor playing Bonnaroo and Yeasayer putting out one of the year’s most hyped early albums, I thought there was a pretty good chance. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be.
Of the more realistic names that could be added, I’d throw Ratatat into the mix because of their work with Kid Cudi. I am also hoping Morning Teleportation bring their labelmates Mimicking Birds along, and as long as I’m thinking wishfully, how about Ramona Falls? They are relatively local, right?

I am really glad MMJ is headlining, if they were a sub headliner, we would be short changed with a 1hr 15min set, now we get a full set.

If I have it, then I will be going, but if I don't I'm not going to donate my body to science in order to go. Plus some of these bands will be playing in Portland during the festival, so if Pavement, LCD, BSS, Caribou, etc play in Portland, I am going to have to factor that all in too.

Real talk: If you didn't shit bricks when you saw this lineup, you might need to call a proctologist.

i like the lineup a lot. i was getting a little worried.. because i'm not big on some of the bands people were hyping in the rumor threads. but everything turned out great
i could care less about a supposed lack of headliner/star power

I was shocked by the lack of big headliners but I'm thrilled with the depth and quality of the artists. My Morning Jacket is going to be insane. Not to mention The Temper Trap, The National, Drive-By Truckers, She & Him (Zooey how I love thee) and the Hold Steady, among many others. I was taken aback by the lack of a NIN/Beck size group but upon reflection I'm going to be crazy busy and potentially stuck with serious conflicts.
I do wonder how tough it will be for them to sell the show out without any marquee names. I wonder if they're announcing headliners closer to another jump in ticket prices? I wouldn't care and I'm certainly not holding my breath but unique marketing/business techniques like that are quite plausible in an economy like this where discretionary income in held close to the chest. I'm just glad I bought my tickets this past weekend when they were super cheap.
man My Morning Jacket ;D ;D ;D

All three of these headliners would struggle to draw 5K people to their own show in almost any city in North America. There are a whole lot of bands here that your average punter has never even heard of (including headliners). It will reduce the bro numbers, but bros = $ to Live Nation. I'm wondering if that may force their hands to go out and get a bigger name (Soundgarden) to help sell remaining tickets at a later date.

MGMT is one of the few bands i can see that will draw the bros out of their man caves this year, which is a great thing about having lesser known headliners. this lineup gets better every time i scan through it.

I don't really think soundgarden actually goes with the vibe of the rest of the lineup, maybe a Sonic Youth or Flip,
But they might add a hot chip or pheonix to help sell tickets,

I'd love the Arcade Fire to hit up a night but I don't think that's particularly likely. Like I said I'm fine with the line-up but interested to see what happens next.

By the way did anyone notice that the band dates are up on the Sasquatch website? Pavement and Massive Attack both play Sunday. Ween does not seem like a headliner. Even for Monday... could be another artist will be pushing their way in? The overall depth on Monday is fantastic though. I hope the Temper Trap doesn't conflict with anyone I really want to see.

Ween is going to turn that place upside down, perfect act for this festival. Seeing them on the line up sold me for sure, it's too bad people don't pay attention to how talented they are. The line up is great and fucking WEEN is on it. Time to celebrate
