Someone on reddit made this: clashfinder.com/s/sasquatch18/I disagree with most of the artist placements, but it gives a good picture of how the stage timings could work out. FRI: CCFX -> -> Benjamin Clementine -> Pond -> Julien Baker -> Wolf Parade -> David Byrne -> EITS -> Bon Iver -> Thundercat Conflict: Japanese Breakfast, Whitney SAT: Tyler Childers -> Chastity Belt -> Son Little -> Grizzley Bear -> Jlin -> Noname -> TV On The Radio -> Modest Mouse -> Vince Staples Conflict: Sango, having to split TVOTR and Noname Sunday: Alex Lahey -> Rostam -> Margo Price -> Algiers -> Perfume Genius -> Spoon -> Tyler The Creator -> Slowdive -> The National -> Anderson Paak Conflict: Alex G Not too many conflicts overall, but Saturday would be kinda weak for me, and Sunday would be totally stacked. Also just somebody on Reddit making shit up with little to no supporting evidence. So there's that.

I spent a few minutes looking at random Sasquatch artist tour dates. Looks like we can mark down Tune-yards for Sunday, Shakey Graves for Saturday, and Spoon for Friday. Also, according to Grizzly Bear's website they are coming to the Gorge on March 25 grizzly-bear.netWhat other evidence do we have for Spoon and Grizzly Bear? I feel like they are billed too close together and are off similar popularity that they would probably both play the same time slot in different days. Just a feeling I have, though.

Yeah, should be weary of anyone who's date says the 25th. Cool I was a bit weary of that as well and was about to bring that up. BUT I did keep going a bit and found that Japandroids have May 26th listed, and Nao has Sasquatch on May 25th with her playing LIB Festival the next day. Also worth noting that Tank and the Bangas doesn't have Sasquatch listed yet but they are playing in Napa, CA on May 25th so lock them in for Sat. or Sun. I would count on Tank for Sunday then. Napa to the Gorge isn't that far, but it is a tight turnaround for a band that probably isn't flying in.

Spoon is pulling their dates from bandsintown, which usually just pulls the first day of the festival. Yeah, should be weary of anyone who's date says the 25th. I agree. Unless there are other dates that support it (playing somewhere else Saturday/Sunday, etc), I wouldn't put much stock into bands that have Friday listed right now.

Does Paradiso have a ferris wheel? I've never been, but I feel like they have something like that.

I would like to see someone volunteer to do one of these for TV on the Radio. They're one of those bands that I've always seen their name around, but have never really gotten into. I've listened to Seeds and Return To Cookie Mountain and I liked them but didn't necessarily love them. They are one of the bands on my excited for based on reputation only list, but I need someone to recommend something that will make me love them. Listen to Dear Science immediately! By the way, this one did the trick. It's definitely my favorite one if theirs so far.

Honestly, sitting at the top of a ferris wheel has always freaked me out. Sitting at the top of one looking down into the Gorge makes my balls crawl up into my belly just thinking about it. I would say a polite but firm "No thanks" to a ferris wheel at Sasquatch.

Benjamine Clementine is opening for David Byrne on some dates (Perfume Genius isn't for the Seattle show), so he could be Friday too? I haven't been able to find the exact dates. I think he makes more sense than Perfume Genius based on the BC schedule.

There seems to be enough speculation going on here to justify this getting its own thread. Day by day lineups should be out soon(ish). But in the meantime, let's post here any evidence we find (tour dates, announcements from the bands, etc) that would indicate which day an act will be playing. I'll start with the headliners/subs that I logic'd out in the lineup thread and update this post with any other acts that we can figure out.
Friday Bon Iver Tyler, The Creator Grizzly Bear Thundercat (possible late night set) Pond Julien Baker Benjamin Clementine Gang of Youths Nao Hurray For The Riff Raff
Saturday Modest Mouse David Byrne Spoon Shaky Graves Japandroids Explosions in the Sky Petit Biscuit
Sunday The National Ray Lamontagne Perfume Genius Neko Case (Sandy) Alex G Big Thief Charly Bliss Tune-Yards Tank & The Bangas Too Many Zooz Alex Lahey Choir! Choir! Choir!
Who else?

Assuming Perfume Genius will be playing the same day as Davey Burn since he's opening up for him on the upcoming tour. Are you sure about that? Because he playing Boston Calling on Friday, which means he would have to play Sasquatch on Saturday or (more likely) Sunday. And Bernie is in Portland on Sunday.

Do you guys think they'll bring back the Narwhal stage? We have about 20 more artists than 2017 (excluding comedy), and I don't think overlapping sets will make enough room for 20 more acts. If they axe comedy this year, they could fit 2-4 acts into the tent in the early afternoon, and they wouldn't need another stage. I think the second option there is more likely. My guess is that they are dropping the comedy and will have music start in the tent around 2 or 3 instead of 6:00 or so like they have in the past.

I've never been a female on Twitter before, but I feel like this is just asking for trouble. I'm actually kind of scared for her inbox after reading this.

There was also the great Sufjan / Chelsea Wolfe schism of 2016 Really stoked I never had to make that decision. I guess I’m still thinking about 2008 when Kinski closed the Yeti during Mars Volta, I can’t remember any other late Yeti significants besides maybe Ra Ra Riot but IIRC they were around sunset too. 2013: Elvis Costello vs Killer Mike. I watched the beginning of Elvis then headed to the Yeti as soon as Mike started. Still one of the top ten best decisions I've ever made in my life.

Is Thundercat really small or is his bass really large? Both?

I kind of feel like Slowdive is going to be this year's M83 for me. I haven't really sat down and absorbed their albums yet, but it feels like that kind of music that will have a very physical effect live. I really hope they get one of the late night sets to really take advantage of the full darkness. Late night bigfoot or subbing main is the ideal. Based on their billing, I don't think they'd sub the main. They are the 14th name on the poster, which is just about right for the late night Bigfoot set.
