Via my old methods I got this reply in regards to Salt N Pepa playing Sasquatch or Roo:
"Neither at this time "
Take that for what you will.

Literally not one of these artists can actually be definitively ruled out, which makes this plausible and I am holding out hope. It would be SUCH A BAD CAREER MOVE to leak such an epic fake lineup and then have (even parts of) it not be true. Can't wait for Sunday, because I believe, and already have my tix. I walked out of last year saying "they'll go huge next year" and I think this is it. Hope to f^cking Jeff I am right. Edit: Many IPAs spell check, because hell yes to excitement typos While they technically cannot be ruled out I really want to stress for us, and the Twitter/Reddit kids that keep hyping this up on social media, that Bastille are in Germany May 26th and June 2nd. Sasquatch is May 26th-28th so that seems really really unlikely, but anything is possible. Since their 26th show is for a fest that could just be a placeholder date. Has that fest's day by day lineup been released? If not they could play the Friday of Sasquatch and then fly out.

Anyone know if The Avalanches are playing? Huge thanks in advance! Given the amount of snow in the PNW this year an avalanche at Sasquatch is highly likely. They had to cancel a few years ago when the promoters picked up a sponsorship from the 1974 movie Earthquake.

If even half of this is true, this is one of the most stacked North American festival lineups I can remember. This is why I'm not getting any hopes up. It would be one of the all time greatest lineups (at least in my eyes) and feels way too huge for Sasquatch. Plus information said no more questions about headliners which could indicate there is one more that hasn't been revealed. Not doubting ya, information, just hedging bets because my trousers can only absorb so much baby seed.

Salt N Pepa still performs? Lmao. Fingers crossed for DJ Wendy Williams getting a solo mainstage set.

Dan Deacon will be performing Thank you! Between Dan and Arcade Fire I'm going to have zero problems convincing my sister to come. Also, holy shit! Dan puts on one of the best live shows ever.

Even if it's all fake at least we get to be excited for a few days. The comedown can't be any worse than the crash after three days of smoking my cousin John's barn-brewed meth.

Any chance of Cut/Copy? Not that I need liquid gold poured over the diamonds we already have, but Velveeta cheese sure would be tasty.

Thank you, information. You're a good man/woman/dog. Will information be there? That is the question that really needs to be asked. We owe this being all of the beers. I think the same is still owed to Gabfrab from years past. Will Gabfrab be there? I don't live on the west coast anymore but my sister is in Portland. If this lineup pans out I'm almost positive I'll be there. No beer thank you. I only drink sun warmed Four Loko.

I know Weezer have a bad rep and put out some iffy music but their show at Project Pabst in Portland was so much fun. They literally opened with a half hour straight of hits and barely let up after that.

As many of you know my grandma is Adam Zacks' personal masseuse. Yesterday she gave him the usual happy ending but as she went to mop the emission there lay a surprise. His seed spelled out the same lineup that we just got. I don't believe in prognostication but that seems too weird to only be a coincidence.

I know there's already been questions regarding the plausibility of Sigur Ros but this dude on inforoo pointed out a couple more potential snags: Got my fingers crossed. This would be the best lineup I've ever seen for my personal tastes. Bastille doesn't have tour dates listed in May as far as I can find. It's on their website. I looked before I posted that. All I need to be true is Arcade Fire and Sigur Ros. Just let them trade off sets all weekend.

I know there's already been questions regarding the plausibility of Sigur Ros but this dude on inforoo pointed out a couple more potential snags: Something smells fishy. Sigur Ros are already playing Boston Calling and have shows in Maryland and Ontario on the 25th and 28th. Also, Bastille is in Germany that weekend, and Run the Jewels are playing both Boston Calling and Summer Camp. This "leak" is bullshit. Got my fingers crossed. This would be the best lineup I've ever seen for my personal tastes.

Slightly off topic, but I'd like to create some sort of sign for 2017 so people from this forum can recognize me in the festival. And choose to say hi or not ha! Y'all are hilariously cool. This ought to do it:

What time are you looking to leave from Portland on Friday? I'm going to leave from the Vancouver area around 5-6pm. I know it's fairly late, but if it's in line with your timing, let me know and we can try to work something out. Sent you a message!

New albums announced today for Death Cab for Cutie and Sufjan Stevens. Neither have been around since 2011, so there's that. Sufjan hasn't played Sasquatch since 2006, and although I don't have a source, there has been talk on this forum about how he does not enjoy playing festivals. But I hope he does show up! From an email last year: "There has been no news of shows in 2014 yet, and, like you mentioned, Sufjan does not play festivals." I really hope he changes his mind at some point but I doubt it. He seems adverse to performing in general. That's a shame because he's beyond incredible live. I caught him on the Age of Adz tour and it's the best show I've ever seen.
