Just 1 or 2 is fine.
I'm basically just hoping for an extra attraction on Sunday and Monday.

It kind of sounds like the VIP package is for losers.
So there's that to consider.

What was the most significant/drastic addition that happened last year?
Obviously The Shins being removed was the biggest disappointment.

Last year I didn't follow the lineup day-to-day, and so if someone here could please educate me on the normal additions added later on I would appreciate it.

I've had the whole day to think about it, and aside from (redundancy ahead) the headliners, this year is > last year.

But you can tell already there's going to be conflicts. For example King Khan, Shearwater and Bon Iver on Wookie will probably collide with Animal Collective, M. Ward, or Devotchka on Main Stage.

You're the best.
It turns out the rumors were true. Headliners suck and the smaller bands are what make it worthwhile.

The headliners are horrible.
I might turn my Sasquatch trip into a Seattle trip.

Now it looks like I started the other thread you already did for this.

I feel completely in the dark and trust zero Internet insiders.

My point is you're criticizing a festival you're not even attending, which seems bizarre to me.
Different people entertain themselves in different ways though. I'm not entertained by this back and forth banter. Please go on.

And for the record, my not going this year has absolutely nothing to do with ticket prices (no sure how the hell you came to that conclusion). $1000, $1500, VIP is a treat worth paying with the right bands and food. I went to Sas in 2008 and 2007 and can definitely say having the wrong bands play can bring out the less than desirables. I've always thought of Sasquatch as being about peace and love and a friendly enviroment and bands like Fleet Foxes and Polyphonic Spree mirror that. I wouldn't want to share the area with a bunch of twats rockin' out to Guns N Roses. That said, I thought the line-up last year wasn't remotely as good as 2007 and considering how much I spent for the VIP tickets, I'm taking a pass on 2009.

The only one I can't vouch for in the group is the Avett Brothers, but aside from that it's the announced bands that are keeping me excited through all the speculation surrounding other horrible bands. In other words I agree with the latter poster and not the former. My bad, I tend to only like good music And the Olsen Twins, I think we're 15 minutes away from people predicting Dashboard Confessionals and Jonas Brothers. Your generalizing, both hyperbolic and defensive, is also incongruous with the bands we're talking about. But maybe if you make the comment again, in an even vaguer and more indignant way (I've also seen your 'I'm not even going this year because I paid so much for last years' tickets!' post, which makes me wonder what exactly your mission is here), I'll understand what you're saying. You're certainly not going to convince those of us who like these bands that they're not good bands.

[ Kings of Leon, The Decemberists, Peter Bjorn and John, Monotonix, Animal Collective, Neko Case, Passion Pit, The Avett Brothers, Sun Kil Moon, John Vanderslice and Grizzly Bear.Pretty weak thus far, outside of PBJ. Haha, really I think Peanut Butter Jelly is the worst band in that group, I would rather watch all of those bands Twice & Sober, before ever watching PBJ, even if it was at a free show while while receiving oral from the olsen twins. The only one I can't vouch for in the group is the Avett Brothers, but aside from that it's the announced bands that are keeping me excited through all the speculation surrounding other horrible bands. In other words I agree with the latter poster and not the former.

According to that link posted in that other thread by one of those guys who keep referring to insider information, well anyway my point is Robyn Hitchcock seems available for Sasquatch dates.
Robyn Hitchcock April - June Headline For Support / Package
