If Modest Mouse and 'Arace Fire' are as far outside of the mainstream as you can conceive of, I am very sad to know you.

Arace Fire sounds like a white supremacist's band

Just another person for Horned Gramma to shut down and destroy. You are really a weak and pathetic person. This person (probably a kid) is trying to express his ideas and you have to attack him. We're talking about headliners. They have to be somewhat successful in order to be in the headliner slot.

I would like to see the Shins. The Broken Bells would be awesome too. The Broken Bells would be a sub-headliner due to the fact they only have one album though. Probably not even a subheadliner. Probably in the slot that Broken Social Scene played in last year. It would be awesome regardless. It's Broken Bells, and in my opinion there are only like 1 or 2 tracks I'd like to hear from that album, so I'm not sure they could fill the mainstage shoes of BSS from last year.

Foo Fighters, Portishead, Arcade Fire, Phoenix. It sucks, but there's your headliners.
I'm a weak and pathetic person, but I got a strong personality. DANGER ZONE

Fine. Sub in Pulp, then, if there is a god.
I'm on topic now, switch, you little bastard. Does that make everything A-OK?

I think so. I was surprised to see that you actually produced a list. I was shocked. It was very conceivable too.

Yeah, duh, because there's like 500 posters on this board and maybe a dozen conceivably possible headliners. I know we all wish we could think up lineups as good as you can, but if we all sat around listing the handful of bands that might be in line to headline the fest this year this would be one boring ass message board.

They wouldn't fill the mainstage shoes just because there are only 1 or 2 songs that you like? I think there are plenty of people that disagree. The album was highly successful. You might be right though as far as being as prominent as Broken Social Scene. I definately think they belong on the mainstage though.

That Broken Bells record went over like a turd in a punchbowl, with just about everyone. Uninspired songwriting from Mercer, lazy production from Danger Mouse -- two people who know how much their names are worth. Phoning it in. Big time.

I agree that the Broken Bells record was pretty uninspired and not challenging at all, however, a lot of people bought that record and it wouldn't be surprising to see them at Sasquatch! on the main stage if they are still touring behind the record. Of course whether they show up will probably depend on how much money Live Nation throws at them.

Adam Zacks won't be able to help himself. Broken Bells will be there and they will play at 5:35 on the main stage.

Updated Pulp as unlikely, and Belle and sebastian as sub headliner who may headline.
Very interesting on Belle & sebastian. they are playing Primavera, and were supposed to be playing Jun 3 In what looks to be Denmark, but that show has been cancelled due to "stuarts illness", and to be rescheduled at a latter date, but they are playing like 15 dates before that show.
so that looks to be highly suspicious.

I'm by no means saying they won't be there, just not sure that slot would be the fit I would see. The album is completely overrated though, as HG (or whatever he is calling himself today) said.

I think it's a decent album, but what do I know, as HG has said numerous times. I wouldn't mind seeing them but I would definately rather see the Shins. I would take either one though.
