It does seem like past years have had a much longer list of confirmations this close to the lineup being officially announced. Hell, we wouldn't even know Frank for sure if they hadn't come out and told us. Before the leak last year, we had eleven leads that ended up on the lineup (including two headliners). Last year's lineup came up relatively early compared to this year and years past. In 2015, 31/32 leads ended up on the lineup. 2014 was two weekends (#NeverForget), but combined, there were a lot of leads. I miss the days when gabfrab emailed agencies! This year, we have 12 on the list, but I only really feel confident about 5 of them. Hopefully there are some indicative tour announcements in the next few days to hold us over until Sunday!

And Aimee Mann is putting out an album in March and confirmed that there will be a spring tour. She'd fit right in at Sasquatch. She plays Seattle May 9th, so I don't expert her to play Sasquatch a few weeks later.

www.1077theend.com/blogs/steven/sasquatch-2017-lineup-predictionsIs there no editorial process for mainstream radio? He thinks the xx are possible despite them having a Seattle show that his radio station is promoting one month before. He also says the Flaming Lips "have possibly played the fest more times than anyone." They've played four times, which is a lot, but don't throw a "possibly" in there if you can't take 10 seconds to look up that both the Decemberists and Modest Mouse have played five times. How can you consider Childish Gambino "very likely" when he only has one tour date announced? Dude even gets the lineup release date wrong by a week and a half. Radio stations like 107.7 The End and Portland's 94.7 just piss me off to no end. At least they offer presale opportunities for local shows.

The Radiohead dates will be in April at the Key Arena like last time they played Coachella. Along with some Bay Area, Santa Barbara, etc (my guess) Quit raining on our parade before it becomes official in 12 hours!

The Arkells are supporting Frank on the US dates and vice versa in Canada. Weird.

Also while not from Vancouver The Arkells skip Seattle on their tour with Frank Turner in a couple weeks. I'd expect both to probably be there, especially since Arkells are on a few US festivals including Coachella. Good catch! Adding them to the Rumors list now. Although, I'm less confident in Frank Turner than the Arkells. Frank Turner is supporting the Arkells, so it isn't really his decision to skip Seattle (but he could add a solo show). Like you said, the Arkells are playing Coachella and Shaky Knees; Frank Turner isn't yet playing any US festivals.

Board suggestion: A that changes the words "What are the chances" or "Any chance of" into "I want to see." So many people coming on asking if whatever random band they like could play Sasquatch. Any chance we could make that change?

I hear Reddit is nice this time of year. I gave r/Sasquatch a shot today until I saw a post about how Sasquatch can rebound suggesting Halsey, Big Sean, and DJ Snake headline. I'm all for thinking outside the box, but what the fuck?

Im really hoping that the "puzzle pieces" that start showing up on Monday are somehow lineup clues as well. Other festivals have done similar things in the past where they release a picture or something that contains hidden lineup clues to try to decipher. I really liked the idea and had hoped Sasquatch would eventually do something similar. We certainly won't get the full lineup on Monday, but we might get dome genuine hints and that would make for prime speculatin. Agreed. Best case scenario is something similar to Roo Clues.

Recovering from a massive hangover. I'm only invincible at Sasquatch! I wonder if we will for sure find out the lineup on Monday after numerous people attempt the puzzle. And is there for sure no lineup party? I think it's highly unlikely we find out the lineup on Monday. It is not for sure there is no lineup party.

Anybody else drunk tonight or just interested in talking about the lineup a few days before we find out when we'll get it?

LCD Soundsystem | Frank Ocean | Chance The Rapper Twenty One Pilots | Lorde | Childish Gambino | Flume | Solange | Marshmellow Bonobo, Local Natives, Saint Motel, Vancouver Sleep Clinic, Car Seat Headrest, Vulfpeck, Hundred Waters, Danny Brown, Band of Horses, Flatbush Zombies, Kungs, Slow Magic Like it or not a line-up like this would get Sasquatch the ticket sales it needs. I actually agree with you, and I currently think that top line is amongst the best possible scenarios. 21 Pilots is my least-favorite current popular band, and I don't have the stomach for seeing Flume and Marshmellow at the top of Sasquatch's poster; that's why I'm rooting against you.

I think you should establish a rule against including artists that are in the Rumors/Confirmations thread at time of entry, or else most entries will look very similar. (give or take a Marshmellow)

Have you two been able to leverage any of this goodwill into finding out what we're getting on Monday?

Haha I posted it from my phone and didn't realize how big it was, and then deleted it as to not clutter up a thread with unrelated material. Sorry! So what was it? Unreleased Sasquatch gif?

What is this sorcery? EDIT: I swear I quoted a post of Pea's with a Sasquatch-y gif. It was of the van that Marshmellow is hiding near in the header.

I'm every bit as certain about them as Fox is about Local Natives. The difference to me is that Local Natives skip Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver on their upcoming tour.
