 Go ahead. Tell us what you like. What you don't like. Convince me that Major Lazer isn't their worst headliner ever. |

I really hope Digable Planets plays against Major Lazer!

That Saturday lineup definitely needs some spicing up. I thought it would be the better day. The other days are so solid though. Monday actually looks like the biggest nightmare as far as conflicts. |

As good as it may be to us, I don't think this lineup has the mainstream appeal to sell out right away.

Lots of room for late adds on Friday. Only 20 or so acts scheduled that day. Don't remember how many Friday typically has, but I know it's more than that.

Fourtet > Caribou > Jamie xx is like something out of a wet dream. Too bad I don't think I can miss Sufjan for any of them.

Very cool. We will be to The Gorge for. The thing that I find interesting is that there is a lot that is recognizable, but then there is a lot I have never heard of and will require investigation.
I have never heard if a lot of stuff on the upper lines. Maybe someone can help me out. Who the fuck are Chet Faker and why are they billed so high?
Also, and this isn't a complaint, but ad we've said before this line up looks a bit thin in terms of numbers. Am I wrong?

wtfs going to happen on Monday cause that looks like conflict nightmare.
Would love to go to this fest but because of the price definitely going to wait out to see what the BC festival lineups are like. Might have to hit up Sasq and Pemberton.
I'm calling Robyn for a late add

Sorry for the idiotic question, but do you guys think this is going to sell out fast?

Personally I don't think so. The CDN $ is shit so they are not getting too many Canadians on board, and there aren't any oh shit headliners on here other thna The Cure, which appeals to an older crowd that doesn't care as much about this undercard. I think you have some time.

Does Monday night not usually end earlier too? Normally with only one act playing on the Main Stage?
So we are looking at Sufjan on Bigfoot with Jamie xx in the Dance Tent and Florence on the Main Stage?
nevermind i dont know what im talking about.
Let Grimes play the Main Stage she deserves it after the shitty sound at Bigfoot the last time she came to Sasq.

I think you have some time. Thanks! The Cure IS nice, but i saw them last tine they played. I'm gonna have to think this through now. Earlier I said fuck it, but now that it's real I need to figure it out. Theres a lot to like, but is it worth $500. |

Way into the lineup! Really looking forward to all of these... Four Tet Caribou Sufjan Stevens Yo La Tengo Florence & The Machine Digable Planets The Cure Jamie XX Big Grams Ty Segall Purity Ring Todd Terje Alabama Shakes A$AP Rocky Kurt Vile Saturday doesn't really do anything for me aside from Digable Planets. Friday is pretty light too but there's a few I'm curious about. Sunday is great and I'm already stressin' about Monday night conflicts cause I wanna see 7 of the top 8  |

I will enjoy the short lines and the good people !
