Another thing, if you look at the time line, he said he had the lineup 2 weeks before the announcement, There is no way Sasquatch would give the lineup that far in Advance for fear of it leaking out.
To prove that, Last year, do you remember that Cos tweeted that they Just received the lineup and it was very good. That happened the afternoon of the Launch Party.
So I wouldn't believe him Just yet.
Only 3 more sleep till we know for sure.

Holy shit I haven't even been paying attention to when the lineup comes out! I usually gloss over those posts and move on to the Longboarding thread.

Even if the guy didn't see the lineup odds are he's right. Basically he just said "it's a lot like last year but not quite as good."
I've been saying don't expect big headliners or reunions for months and I have no inside knowledge at all

That guy is an asshole with no knowledge.
Anyone want to take odds on the possibility of A Perfect Circle being there? They recently confirmed 2 festival dates in May and June. They're playing Rockin the Range in Ohio on like May 22nd. Odds? Anyone? I'm probably the only one here that wants to see them at Sasquatch. Hipster shit I know.
On a side note can someone PLEASE enlighten me as to what is so fuckin great about Arcade Fire? I've been trying like CRAZY to like them, but maybe I haven't listened to the right song/album. I'm trying to keep an open mind so don't hate on me, but they play with the energy of corpses.

I tried to get into them right when Neon Bible came out and I could not get into them at all. I'd say try Funeral first cause that's how REALLY got into them. I'll list some songs I like anyway. Neighborhood #1, Neighborhood #2, Crown of Love, Wake Up, Rebellion (Lies), The Well and the Lighthouse, No Cars Go, Intervention, Ocean of Noise, Ready to Start, Rococo, I Used to Wait, Suburban War, Sprawl 2. Hope that helps

There is an Arcade Fire thread on here somewhere, but just listen to (Antichrist Television Blues) off Neon Bible. It may not change your mind, but it at least ups the energy level a bit.

So you know what I'm talking about when I say they sound like they have zero energy/enthusiasm?

So you know what I'm talking about when I say they sound like they have zero energy/enthusiasm? Yes. I'm a big fan, but I can totally understand that as a criticism. That song I recommended is about as close as they get to high energy playing, along with Month of May off the new album, which might be another access point. I'd like to think that if you can get into those tracks then the rest of their catalog might become a little more appealing. But if you still think they're dreary after that, you're probably out of luck.

HOLY SHIT THERE S A FUCKING ARCADE FIRE THREAD FOR THIS.
AND IN WHAT WAY SHAPE OR FORM IS A PERFECT CIRCLE HIPSTER SHIT!?
I'm going to stage a coup, take over the board, and form a new rule: New posters may only post in the "No topic" thread until they reach 100 posts, at which point they have to take a Board Comprehension Test, confirming that they know their way around (questions will include "Which of the following bands are already the subject of their own fucking thread?" and "Who is the dumbest poster?" and "Please type one rumor, and then explain it why it was a stupid thing to say"). YOU ALL JUST WAIT.

I've been saying don't expect big headliners or reunions for months and I have no inside knowledge at all from Adam Zacks own Mouth........... "2011 is the festival’s 10 year anniversary. We’ve been stockpiling a list of cool ideas with the intent of unleashing them next year." So there has to be something on the horizon. Doesn't have to be big, But it has to be different. Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse , Wilco doesn't fit the bill, (although I am a fan of the Bands) They seem the same old sasquatch.

The board is fine. It's a board. I'd give you a high-ranking position, or perhaps I would allow you to write questions ("What is the best brewery in your state of residence?" "Fill in the blank: Does that get your ___ ______ a lot?") on the entrance exam. Join the dark side, Pea.

I'm still trying to figure out what those were...

What a whiney baby. You sound like an old man sitting on a porch waiting to squeel anytime someone steps in their yard. It's a message board and anyone has a right to post anywhere. In all my trips to the Gorge and the Sasquatch festival I've never encountered an asshole so it continues to amaze me how many shitheads hang around these boards.
This being a headliner thread any question relating to a rumored/potential headliner is relevant here. If you don't get that you are absent of logic.
"AND IN WHAT WAY SHAPE OR FORM IS A PERFECT CIRCLE HIPSTER SHIT!?"
Thats what I said when people at the Sasquatch page referred to APC as hipster shit and they don't want Sasquatch to become a 'Chadfest' I'm still looking for a definition of exactly what 'hipster' shit is.
This being a headliner thread and with the revelation that APC is headling at least 2 other festivals occuring within weeks of Sasquatch. What do you 'experts' with hundreds, even thousands, of posts think of the possibility that we could see them at Sasquatch?
Please. No whining. I know its tough, but these are simply questions.
