Alright. So about two weeks after the linup was announced a couple bands were added & The Shins & POTUSA were removed. A month later 4 smaller bands were added. Two weeks after someone moderatly sized cancelled. Two weeks before POTUSA was reannounced along with three others.
Same thing will prolly happen this year.

Wow. You realize how insane that lineup would be? Tickets would be twice as much... But I wouldn't hesitate. It just must mean next year will be better for ALL festivals.

I doubt Death Cab would play. I wouldn't mind it though, thats for sure. But The Shins would be a very nice touch.

Yeah Fleet Foxes are worth $54 of the dollars right there. Each day is well worth the money. I am definitely going. But it would be a nice bonus if another couple bands like The Shins, or Arcade Fire, or Andrew Bird/Sufjan Stevens came somehow haha.

Nice, very nice guess though

Smoosh? They are actually extremely talented PNW music with some of the best drums & synths around. Thank you very much.

It will probably happen one-two in the middle of March. Three-Four at the end of April. Along with 2-3 cancellations (Maybe Janes Addiction will cancel! )Then two weeks before 2-3 more announced

I will agree, indie lovers dream. But the headliners??? Come on! I don't want to leave the festival at 8 o'clock all nights.
KoL I will stay for. Then Sun/Mon I will stay for Silversun & TVOTR. But I can live without seeing the others. Its still cheap though for $150 bucks. Plus I get $8 dollar icees!!!

No Black Keys? No Ghostland? No Smoosh? No Minus The Bear? No Patrick Wolf? No Strokes reunion?
Janes effing Addiction? Who the heck cares? Same goes for NIN.
Ben Harper <Michael Franti
Erykah? Very good Sasquatch! Diverse? Yes... Only that is diverse. I am happy with that surprise.
I like the smaller bands. The headliners are all a bummer... KoL is decent though. Fridays lineup, headline wise, looks great for the main stage
EDIT: Erykah isn't as good as I thought. I want some great African band with 12 people.

Girl Talk? wtf? They might as well have the Blink - 182 reunion then. At least I would be psyched about THAT kind of pop

Topspin: I would definitely be at that communal beating. Its like calling 311 the best band of 2003 or something. (I am sure the year is wrong but whatever).
They may have had some fame, but nothing worthy whatsoever of being a headliner of even co-headlining.
The Kinks / Streetlight Manifesto would be worthy though... Much worthy.
Streetlight Manifesto anyone?

i think the rumor was squashed because the only day they would be able to play at sasquatch was the day before they are to be in calgary. i couldn't see them going all the way out to the gorge and then catching a plane in the middle of the night in order to make it up to canada in time. also they're doing a seattle show in april i think, so it's probably like a 0.1% chance they'd be at sasquatch. Squashed! Happy its Squashed! No Doubt? Come on. This is an outdoor festival. Not some 1998 punk pop teen arena festival... Janes Addiction doesn't help that either. How awesome would it be for The Shins there?

Regarding NIN. I do not like their music very much whatsoever. I do admit their youtube videos make their shows look sick. The sound is very modern though, with their recent albums.
Janes Addiction though: wtf. Airborne Toxic Event? Sometime around midnight is a great song, but not really that great of a lineup of songs. I could see them starting second on the wookie stage, maybe right after someone like mimicking birds play
