And I don't know if Robyn is breaking out in the US, but that would be huge. Blow up the mainstage. I would like to see her sub-headline, maybe?

I'm really worried about some of the expectations you guys have for headliners and sub headliners. I seriously won't be surprised if someone says they think U2 is headlining and No Age is going to sub headline. Why can't you just choose to set your expectations really high or really low, not a mix of both!

Is Robyn too high an expectation for sub-head? I'm really asking

In another thread I posted about how the Arctic Monkeys wouldn't subheadline because they played the showbox vs. the 2 nights Vampire Weekend played at the Paramount. Robyn just played Neumo's....

Actually, considering when I went to Pitchfork festival (LOLZ PITCHFORK, GOD, FUCK ME), Robyn played before both Broken Social Scene and Modest Mouse, and remember Broken Social Scene played 4th to last, at '10 Sasquatch, however I think that was decided for other reasons than how big each one was. Dunno though. Maybe at Sasquatch she'd be a bigger deal though.
Short answer: I think she isn't QUITE big enough this side of the pond to subheadline.

Sasquatch 2011 Headliners: Veteran festival leaves many people confused after they announced that the 2011 headliners will be Robyn, Cut Copy, and Napoleon Skywalker

The ONLY place Robyn is big is on Pitchfork. Which means there's a good chance she'll get the M.I.A./Santigold slot Monday afternoon, but she's not coming within shitting distance of a headliner slot.

but to seriously answer your question about who I think would headline this was my guess in the predict the lineup thread (although it is nearly impossible to do this early)
headliners: strokes arcade fire Sigur Ros
We could only afford 2/3 of these (more specifically strokes or the arcade fire) so the third headliner would be someone less famous though.
Logic aside, I'm pulling for Kanye

I have recently gotten into this small seattle band called beat connection. They are getting play on kexp and could be big enough for an opening spot on the yeti stage. Brett Dennen opened the Yeti in 2006. Now he's a megastar. Is this just on observation you are making or are you trying to make a Joke?

It's an observation. And I'm kind of musing on it. I went to high school with Brett Dennen, and my best friend is marrying his cousin. And yes, that gets my dick sucked CONSTANTLY.
