Animal Collective doing a European tour which ends at Primavera. Come on Sasquatch fuckin MAKE IT HAPPEN. I don't think I've mentioned this HG, but Animal Collective is one of my favorite bands, and seeing them right after Feels was a religious experience for me. I say give them a huge slot, at night, and let them redeem their panned performance from a couple of years ago.

Let 'em close the Wook, that'll shut people up about the '09 set (which was AWESOME regardless; they fucking played SLIPPI dude, so go to hell).

Why the fuck not? They usually have big 'indie' bands, well-liked by Pitchfork, headlining the Wookie stage. Obviously mid-day on the mainstage didn't work for Animal Collective, they'd be perfect on the Wook.

They are subheadlining coachella. They're not gonna be billed lower at sasquatch than coachella

Wasn't Deadmau5 one of the top billed acts at Sasquatch last year? Didn't he play on a side stage? Cool, let's stop acting like Coachella and Sasquatch have anything at all to do with one another.

Deadmau5 was billed like 15th on the sasquatch poster last year (although he was billed 5 on the coachella poster). Last year the second line on the Coachella poster included LCD Soundsystem, Thom Yorke, Pavement, Faith No More and Tiesto. None of those acts would play the wookie stage.
Coachella doesn't influence the likelihood of a band being at sasquatch that much but it sure as hell does give you an idea of how famous they are/how much a band costs. In this case, Coachella paid a shit ton of money for Animal Collective

If Deadmau5 was 15th on Squatch's poster but 5th on Coachella's, that kind of deflates your argument. You can bet Squatch paid a shit-ton for the Mau5, which is why the headliners last year were appealing to the right crowd but not necessarily as 'big' as they've been in the past, but if he is such a big get for Coach that they put him fifth or so, shouldn't he be right up at the top of the list at Sasquatch?

I guess my whole point was that Animal Collective apparently costs a lot of money, presumably significantly more than Deadmau5 did and I would be shocked if they did anything other than subheadline or headline

That's a good point. Tiesto, for instance, might be an international superstar, but nobody gives a shit about him in the Pac NW. I don't know if that's true, I'm just guessing.

Two records that are not AC records and a 5-song EP can't account for the band moving from 4pm to a sub-head slot. Either they've got something major up their sleeve or there's no logic behind it at all, both seem equally likely.

In any case, I hope AC are at Sasquatch because they'll likely be playing new material. That's their MO - testing new shit out on stage for a year before it goes to the studio. That's what made MPP so...tight, in a sense. They're a jam band at heart, but they get that shit done on stage, and edit in the studio.

You know I hate speculating about how much an act costs and the effect that has on Squatch's likelihood or ability to book them, but one thing I can tell you for sure is that Animal Collective does NOT cost more to book than Deadmau5.

We're doing it again, Gunther. Sorry. Please feel free to move the last page and a half to an Animal Collective thread.

Talk about everything awesome that is Animal Collective, how screwed up their lineup placement at Coachella is, and how little of a chance they have to be on Sasquatch's lineup.
Also, credit to newjersey for the babies quote.

I'm not going to be moving posts very often, but when 50% of the board's 1,000 post club members list AC as one of their favorite bands, why not give the band their own thread?
For the record, I think AC belongs closing out the Wookiefoot if they are on the lineup. I have no idea why they are billed that high on the Coachella lineup. It makes zero sense.
