That picture confirms Portland, Maine. Can we basically confirm The xx now? pitchfork.com/news/69940-the-xx-announce-north-american-tour-by-mailing-fans-free-tickets/I think the Portland date says May 25 or 28, but regardless, it's close enough to WA to confirm them. Now... last time they played Sasquatch in 2013 I believe they subheadlined on Saturday night before Sigur Ros. I would like to see them as a subheadliner again this year but I could honestly see them headlining. Macklemore, The xx, Frank Ocean? Hopefully Foo Fighters got in there instead of Mr Macklemore. Also, in previous years wasn't there someone updating the original post with Rumours/Confirmations? I can't seem to find whereabouts that's at. jk.

Where's that random guy who leaked the entire lineup last time? He's gotta have some insight again...

Ween is straight-up kookiedooks but in a good way. Their Sasquatch set was an all time great. Not sure it would help any ticket sales problems, but they are the best.

Ween just announced they are headlining High Sierra Music Festival. Last time they headlined that festival....they also headlined Sasquatch and it was incredible. Fucking Ween!

I wouldn't say that it was all that entertaining, but it held my attention for the duration. Glad I wasn't in the front few rows though. This was my first Sasquatch, and I was down in the pit so that I could get up close for when the Flaming Lips played after Mars Volta. Needless to say, this was one of the more eye opening moments of my life for my 18 year old self. Luckily, I wasn't too close to where the cymbal landed, but it was still crazy. That was definitely the gnarliest pit I had been in until I saw DFA1979 at Sasquatch a few years later.

Who happens to be in the Northern US at the same time as sasquatch? m.imgur.com/jh9rGTfKraftwerk would look nice on that top sail. #RIPJulySquatch

Ya, I would put the internet in the dance tent and take x ambassadors out and put them on the main stage too. Also, I think kurt vile would be on the main stage in sometime in the afternoon, similar to War on Drugs last year.

So uh, while I was working with the lineup poster and the blank version of it being used as the website background I noticed a peculiar difference between the two... Yessssss. What could it be...

I was trying to order a premier camping pass through the website and it kept failing, but I was able to call in and order it over the phone without any trouble. Is premiere worth it? Totally worth it for the shuttle alone. That thing is a life saver.

Also, Sasquatch retweeted someone saying M Ward was playing the launch party so that somewhat solves the launch party band on the lineup question
Check out @scottmccaughey5's Tweet:

I don't see ML headlining over the shakes, but we'll see. I don't know why everyone has a tough time believing Florence, Cure, Disclosure, Shakes/ML. That's as strong of a top line as sasquatch usually has. It's actually a pretty safe mix of popular ticket sellers. I'm sure after not selling out last year they are really trying to make sure they can get people to come. Also if this lineup happens the wooing of Canadians seems to have been dialed down, probably because our dollar is total garbage right now. Based on popularity, you're probably right. Just wish there was something else.

Gesaffelstein was infinitely better than Major Lazer. Walked over for the last couple songs and wished I had watched Gesaffelstein's last song. Also, skipping Deerhunter for ML because my group wanted to is one of my biggest Sasquatch regrets to this day. Diplo and co. literally just stand on their equipment, hit play, and do the same mix every show. But people eat it up I guess. Yeah, I saw the tail end of the set on my way out from Gesa after he finished with "Blue Monday." His whole set was great tho. Seeing a mixing professional who contorts stems with full songs and then walking up to "let's get these drunk frat and sorority couples on stage while they're on molly to twerk" and Diplo monologuing was fucking bizarre. But goddamn that Blue Monday was dope.
