My initial reaction was one of mild disappointment, but really, there are hella bands on that list that I love, that I know put on excellent shows, or that I have heard put on excellent shows. I imagine once the late adds come in, on whatever level they may be, the lineup will look a bit more well rounded (R.I.P. Loud Friday.)
Speaking of loud: kinda disappointed in the lack of heavier music this year, especially since we seemed to be trending in that direction with Torche/Red Fang in 2013 and Deafheaven/Sandrider last year.

Man, fuck Billy Corgan in 2014, and in all likelihood, fuck Billy Corgan in 2015, too. I don't want any part of Teargarden by Kaleidyscope anywhere near my (best ) I think Decemberists get a headlining slot for sure. Locals, last time they played was 2011 in a subheadlining position...crazier things have happened.

Isaac rambled a bit with his stage banter but overall I thought the 2011 was near-perfect.
I'd be stoked if they got the headliner spot again.

Dan Deacon's new record drops in February. Would love to see that ginger fuck again...his Pemberton set was super fun and bouncy and rad.

Just to bring it up again: i think TV on The Radio is a pretty likely headliner candidate. I see them in the same position the National was in late 2013, where people weren't sure if they were quite up to that status yet. But they last played in 09, and this new album is about as dancey/stadium-ready as they've ever been.
At the very least, I bet they're one of the Primavera crossovers next year.

Has anyone here seen the Strokes live in recent years? Input on whether or not them headlining would be a good thing?

Man, Old Man EL-P is so much more considerate than Young Man EL-P was. Can't even beef properly. "I think it's a good nature thing, I love this guy's music...SUCK MY DICK...with no disrespect." That better have lead into All Due Respect.

Macklemore did both Summerjam and Sasquatch in 2013 so I don't think it matters. Macklemore confirmed I think Macklemore is confirmed every year unless proven otherwise... And I expect Jaimie and Mike to be hitting up every festival possible next summer so I think their appearance should be pretty much assumed.

very pleased that we do this so early. keeps the fantasies fresh. Also, Sasquatch 2015 should be interesting for the sole reason of this year's double-festival debacle. I bet it's just the one weekend and four days again this year.
I'll eat my hat if Spoon don't subheadline a night. and to answer your question, it's a delightful little yarmulke and it'll probably go down easy.
In that vein, I'm wondering how much of the lineup next year will consist of Julysquatch reparations. I get that it's a business and these things happen but still. I wouldn't be surprised to see Cloud Nothings, Foxygen, Action Bronson, and maybe hopefully please Fuck Buttons on the bill
DFA1979 also would not leave me shocked, but would leave me happy. I'll reiterate it as many times as you'll let me: their set at 2011 was one of my favourite Squatch shows period. And The Physical World is my sex jam at the moment.
I expect someone from the TDE crew will make an appearance...and in terms of rap, Shabazz Palaces are due for another appearance. Maybe main stage this time?
Would be very down for either Foo Fighters or Modest Mouse to return to headline, but it was only three years ago that they both did 2011...
and then these have all crossed my mind:
Yeasayer Ratking Freddie Gibbs and Madlib Sun Kil Moon Run the Jewels Cashmere Cat Flying Lotus Iceage Ty Segall FKA twigs Tobacco Chromeo King Tuff BADBADNOTGOOD Floor Mastodon

It's less the phrase itself that bugs me - if it did I'd probably never watch The Matrix again. Moreso it's the fact that having been not too impressed with Cut Copy's recorded material, I was at least expecting an exceptional spectacle (ala our mutual friend Panda Bear,) not just the album name as a backdrop. I stayed for about twenty minutes, and perhaps if they were an instrumental group I'd dig 'em more, but it's the vocals and lyrics man...I just can't ignore them enough to enjoy the band. That said, simplistic lyrics doesn't always equal a bad song, and lord knows I enjoyed the shit out of some ridiculous stuff over the weekend. I ain't tryna throw that dirty wet blanket over anybody's festivities. Again: hope everybody had a fantastic time, whatever that may mean. No, you are definitely being dickish when you're saying stuff like "How can anyone above the age of thirteen take this band seriously?". big time! hence my more thorough explanation of my dissatisfaction, with (hopefully) 75% less dickishness. like i said, i'm not exactly the definition of refined musical taste over here, just disappointed with what i saw/don't really get the appeal. i'd also like to nominate that moment when Dallas Green brought the newly-engaged couple onstage, and the guy went for the kiss and the girl totally gave him the cheek as Most Awkward Onstage Moment...though I'm sure there's a dozen others.

Worst performance by an artist whose album(s) I didn't really like: Cut Copy. How can anyone above the age of thirteen take this band seriously? I was prepared to give them an honest chance until i saw FREE YOUR MIND. lawl. Does having an album named Free Your Mind automatically make a band not worth taking seriously? Cut Copy are super talented musicians, who cares what they name their albums? It's less the phrase itself that bugs me - if it did I'd probably never watch The Matrix again. Moreso it's the fact that having been not too impressed with Cut Copy's recorded material, I was at least expecting an exceptional spectacle (ala our mutual friend Panda Bear,) not just the album name as a backdrop.

Favorite sets: Outkast, Deafheaven, Panda Bear, Queens Honourable mentions: Mogwai, Classixx, Parquet Courts Best 21st Birthday gift: Sasquatch 2014 Least likely to happen, but it did: my cousin meeting Maya Rudolph...without me. wtf. Best hip hop performance by an artist not named Outkast: Chance Best late night party that I didn't go to and kinda wished I had: Gesaffelstein. Caught the last 3 songs and it was far too little. Biggest disappointment: Tie between Queens cutting their set short and the National only sounding decent if you were on the floor. A distant third is missing all of Shakey Graves. Best stage dive: Seriously? Georgie boy of Deafheaven. What a weird, awesome, enjoyable show. Best comedy set: Hannibal Burress, I assume....missed that shit Worst comedy set: Eric Andre. I dunno if it was just because of how high he was, but cheap jokes and rambling don't really do it for me. Biggest honor to see: Rodriguez, natch. Best electronic set: Panda Bear. Best visuals: Panda Bear/Danny Perez (edited after being elucidated as to the source of said visuals) Hardest set to walk away from because they started late and I wanted to get a good spot for Outkast: Mogwai....can't believe I missed the epiphanous finale... Best validation of bringing in earplugs: Mogwai Worst validation of bringing in earplugs: Deafheaven...they were knocked outta my skull two seconds in. Biggest clusterfuck: The Liars cancelling fiasco....seriously, how fucking hard is it for someone to get on the mic and say something?? This drunk lass behind me kept explaining how it looked like Kongos setting up, and I kept waving her off...but she got the last intoxicated cackle. Best performance by an artist who's album(s) I didn't really like: Cage the Elephant. Worst performance by an artist whose album(s) I didn't really like: Cut Copy. How can anyone above the age of thirteen take this band seriously? I was prepared to give them an honest chance until i saw FREE YOUR MIND. lawl. Easiest boarder for me to recognize IRL: Badchoices at the Deafheaven set, but only because he posted what shirt he'd be wearing. Would have said hi but I wasn't about to give up my front-and-center position!! Best alcoholic breakfast food: Flip Flip Flipadelphia ok i'll stop. Hope y'all had as killer a weekend as I did!

FUCK YES NO DEAFHEAVEN AND PANDA BEAR CONFLICT So there is a god. Chance the Rapper/Shakey Graves is a bummer, but manageable. Panda and Deafheaven were the sets I desperately wanted/needed to see fully, so anything else at this point is breezy. Would be nice to see the full schedule, though...

If you see somebody without a face at Sasquatch, it's because Queens of the Stone Age melted mine off last night. I hope it regrows in time for it to be melted off again at Sasquatch. Fucking great show. Moistboyz are gonna be opening for Queens of the Stone Age in Portland next week. I wonder if they'll have Deaner come out and play the songs he recorded with them on Songs for the Deaf? I'm gonna be pissed if I end up missing that. He didn't play with QotSA, but Nick Oliveri sang on "You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, but I Feel Like a Millionaire." It was his first time performing with the band since 2004, and both he and Josh really seemed to enjoy it. I wondered why they didn't open their set with that song because they have for most of this year, but it made sense when they played it with him during the encore. Saw the footage of this, looked pretty fucking sweet. Here's hoping they let him tag along for the Gorge show... and Lanegan... and Grohl...
