I noticed the Crystal Castles were added to Saturday on the mainpage lineup. Another Dance tent band maybe? Where do you see this? It makes sense though, since there is an extra spot available in the dance tent that day (being that there are two acts on the other days for the dance tent and there is only on one Saturday).

Funny stuff Partymarty with the margarita comment.
I put beer as my choice as I find beer to be the best "all day" drink. If I start drinking wine or hard alcohol in the afternoon, I will probably be passed out by the time the headliners come on.

Animal Collective TVOTR Of Montreal NIN Janes Tobacco Calexico PB&J Black Moth Super Rainbow
and since the line-up came out I have been digging Passion Pit Santigold King Khan And that list is going to grow substantially since there are three months til the fest, when I will be agonizing over all the conflicts.
As a side question, since this is my first Sasquatch, how far apart are the stages? How long does it take to get from stage to stage? The walk at Lolla from main stage to main stage is a big trek, as is the trek from the main stage to the dance tent at Coachella.

MGMT would be great, but seems less likely.
I think, as been posted on this board before, that Mogwai and Deerhoof/Cornelius would be the most logical adds, since they both are playing in California right before the fest. Cornelius would fit right into the extra dance stage spot on Saturday and Deerhoof and Mogwai seem like they would fit on the Wookie stage pretty nicely.

Caribou isn't dance music, or electronic music, unless there is more than one act named Caribou. I am surprised Caribou, the Canadian jam band with two drummers, hasn't played Sasquatch yet. Sasquatch seems to be a big draw for Canadians. I don't know electronic music too much, so I can't speculate as to who they might add. I don't think it would have to be a huge draw either though, since some might just avoid Kings of Leon. We are talking about the same Caribou. I guess they fit into my loose interpretation of "electronic" music as they are heavy on synthesizers and low on vocals. I was just watching their dvd last weekend, so they were stuck in my mind. On a semi-related note, I would highly recommend their dvd Marino for anyone that enjoys Caribou. But whether they would be added to the dance tent or a regular stage they would be a good addition.

Sorry if this has been posted, but they updated the schedule page separating out the Dance and Comedy tents. sasquatchfestival09.sched.org/allIt looks like there will be a dance add for Saturday as James Pants is the only act booked for the dance tent that day, and the other two days show two dance tent acts per day. Maybe Cornelius or Caribou. Caribou would be great. Spank Rock would be nice but they are probably too big for that. Some turntabilism would work like Yoda/Z-trip/Q-bert or even DJP. Maybe they are holding out for someone big to help sell Saturday as Kings of Leon seem to be the weakest headliner (in terms of overall popularity, imo). Any other ideas?

Thanks for the response. Its good that there are quick set changes. It should be that way since everything can be set up before 12.

thanks for putting that together as a first time sasquatchee I was trying to figure out approximate times. I have a feeling that Sunday is going to have some bad conflicts for me with Of Montreal going up against NIN and Janes. Does anyone know how long the set changes are between bands? Is it a quick 20 to 30 minutes or more like 45? Thanks
