...you can just go in the view bar? 2016 was my 22nd year of going to the Gorge and my 1st time realizing that I could go in there. So don’t feel too bad. Phew, glad I'm not the only one. This will be my 8th Sasquatch and was feeling a little silly that I've missed this the entire time.

I had no idea normal humans could go in that thing. I just assume everything that looks special isn't for me. The first time I went in the view bar was 2016. ...you can just go in the view bar?

I feel like the Japandroids/PUP conflict could have been avoided...I'm surprised they have them overlapping.

Red Bull Sound Select might do something not terrible. Terrible video, but I've been not-so-patiently waiting since 2011 for Sasquatch to bring back this awesome fucking Red Bull structure that sat outside of the dance tent. That was definitely the best dance tent setup they've ever had and it hasn't really ever come close since. I loved this thing and the dance tent in general that year. Lost my mind in the red bull thingy during FlyLo

I feel like the biggest downside of this schedule coming out might be that now the guy who was commenting on every post asking for it feels like he accomplished something. Victory!

This is highly debatable, especially since the last time I saw Paak he opened with Milk n Honey. I love em both but it's like comparing really delicious chocolate cake to a really fun roller coaster. I agree...the first ten minutes of A .Paak at FYF were crazy

Are you the guy who’s been commenting on every single picture Sasquatch posts on Facebook asking for the schedule? Cuz that shit is annoying as hell. It’s almost as bad as the lady who was commenting on everything complaining about the 4 pack pricing. Haha I actually find this guy hilarious. I didn't realize it was the same person every time. I may or may not be doing this on Instagram. Not that I actually think it's going to get the schedule out sooner...it's just a good way to vent.

Lol I'm seeing them in 6 hours and I've never heard a TVOTR song. Where should I start? Dear Science, front to back. Basically this...plus return to cookie mountain and the various bangers they have on other albums. They played the most amazing version of "A Method" last night.

TV on the Radio was great last night opening for LCD Soundsystem (who were incredible, as always). I thought it would allow me to avoid a conflict at Sasquatch...but it actually just made me want to see TVOTR again at the gorge.

Sorry to disappoint, but Tash Sultana was god awful at Coachella. I'm actually pretty happy to have one less conflict to worry about at Sasquatch. Any other conclusions that relate to Sasquatch?

I don't remember who said it (I think it was Pea) but I think I'm starting to agree that PUP > Jeff Rosenstock (Though I like both and it's not a competition).

Exactly. Their beats aren’t terrible, and I get that they can’t really perform them “live,” but the fact that they didn’t even try to give any semblance of at least trying to mix them live was just insulting. I’m still not even sure why they needed to guys on stage to do it. A lot of the Sahara acts on the Coachella live stream were pretty embarrassing this year. There were a lot of camera angles from behind the decks where you could see exactly what they were doing, and some of them weren't doing much. Petit Biscuit also looked pretty bad on the stream from what I saw. It's easy to just look at the pretty lights and not care what DJs are doing when you're there, but sitting on my couch seeing them just jump up and down and yell into the mic every now and then kinda makes me wonder what the point is sometimes. That being said there were some great DJs on the stream, particularly Black Coffee. I don't think I'm going to have any problem finding things to see during their sets though, so works for me. This was the problem. I feel like more so than in years past, we got an upfront view of how little some of these people do on stage.

I want the schedule dammit. Me commenting on every #Sasquatch2018 Instagram post asking for the schedule has not worked

Wow, Snakerhips is really really really bad. I didn’t really like their music, then I watched a little of their Coachella stream and it was even worse than I thought. Literally just two guys standing there lip syncing along with the track, pushing a button or twisting a knob every so often. That's what did it for me. Just listening to their music, it seemed harmless. But seeing them on the live stream was an embarrassment.

This is impossible and likely there will be conflicts, but I'll give it a shot:
1. David Byrne 2. Anderson .Paak 3. Slowdive 4. The National 5. Vince Staples 6. Bon Iver 7. Spoon 8. Grizzly Bear 9. Explosions in the Sky 10. Tash Sultana (Coachella live stream catapulted her from unknown to top 10)
Still really want to see: Thundercat Pond (Sandy) Alex G TV on the Radio Modest Mouse Rostam Big Thief Perfume Genius Lizzo Magic Sword Soccer Mommy Japanese Breakfast And pretty much everything else besides Petite Biscuit and Snakehips

Apparently in 2016 they were released around April 27th...so I would hope we're close.

I like this...I like it a lot. My biggest fear is a Slowdive v .Paak conflict (which happened to me at FYF last year, chose Paak and it was amazing but I heard the same about Slowdive). I would also agree there's no way Barclay closes the tent. Seems like it could go Barclay > Oliver > What So Not? With no comedy, music should be starting earlier in the tent. I'm guessing it will go Barclay > Oliver > Tokimonsta > What So Not, with probably one or two others along the way. I forgot about tokimonsta. That seems right. I wish they would just release the set times so this guessing game would end. I haven't been in 2 years, but if I remember correctly, the set time releases are pretty inconsistent, ranging from a month before the fest to a week before?

Not that he's really on my list of things to see, but videos of Barclay Crenshaw at Coachella show many lasers. I'd say he's likely for a night time chupacabra set (duh), if not the late night set on Bigfoot. I feel like it's kind of the consensus that A .Paak will be the late night set, but I kind of think he's reaching the level of popularity that you have to stick him on the main stage. Barclay Crenshaw is billed too low to close anything (he's third to last on the poster for Sunday). I think it'll be What So Not closing the tent with Slowdive closing the Bigfoot. .Paak at sunset on the main would be my guess. I like this...I like it a lot. My biggest fear is a Slowdive v .Paak conflict (which happened to me at FYF last year, chose Paak and it was amazing but I heard the same about Slowdive).

Did you order them at the same time or separately? Because now that I think about it, I ordered my camping pass a week or so after I ordered my festival passes. So that could explain why yours arrived together and mine didn't. That's probably it. I ordered them together
