One of my favorite things in the world is to send and receive letters to and from friends. I've been at it for years and have letters scattered all over the place. It's so fun to sit down and write out a good postcard, or come home and see something waiting in your mailbox that isn't junk or a bill.
I write to people all over the world, and would love to be pen pals with some of y'all. So if anyone is interested in getting letters, post your name and full address here. I guess fake names are okay but sometimes mail doesn't get delivered that way. After that it is up to everyone to be good about writing each other.
Please don't tell me some poop about how you're scared to post your address. This isn't the 1950s anymore. If someone with malicious intent wants to find out where you live then they wouldn't have to work very hard. If you really do feel uncomfortable with that aspect, just say to PM you for your address.
Also, you should state if you are okay with receiving R rated content, as that offends the sensibilities of some and I assume a few of you are living with parents.
Send me as much heinous shit as you please. I'll mail you an awesome goosepoops postcard covered in Kwanzaa stickers.

The first name I saw when trying to load the Sasquatch website was Beck and I immediately became very happy. The top half of this lineup is pretty gorgeous. I have homework to do on some bands, but overall very pleased. So many bands there with great music and/or that I know put on great shows. Fantastic shit.

Email replies from booking agents or band managers. 'Tis true. Thankfully I got to see them just a couple months ago.

The Rapture are out.
I saw The Shins at Outside Lands in August and actually thought they were really fun. Not super energetic, but they sounded good and weren't lethargic or anything. Every time I thought I'd was about to maybe get bored they'd play something and I'd be think, "Oh yeah, I love this song." Maybe it's because I'd never seen them before and had hoped to for years, but it was one of my favorite sets of that fest.
I saw you guys discussing Why? I emailed them a few days ago but haven't heard back. I'm really hoping they'll make it out.

If my post could be set to the tune of that song from Drive it would make a lot more sense. Let your imagination do that work for you.

ARE YOU QUESTIONING MY HERO-NESS? ... because you are a Canadian hero! No he's proved to be a real human being, and a real Canadian hero.

Alex Young of COS posted this in regards to why they haven't updated with the leaked bands:
Re: Sasquatch! -- We reached out to the festival's representation, and they suggested that not all the artists appearing on 'leak' would appear on the final lineup, which is why we're holding off.

I Break Horses just released tour dates with Sasquatch listed. So there's our horse band for the year. I see they're opening a bunch of shows for M83. You guys think that will happen? Maybe out because of regional shows a month prior, but I hope not.

Regarding Santigold:
Hi Nolan,
As of now we haven't confirmed Sasquatch or Bonnaroo. If you want to check back in a few weeks, I will let you know.

Gabfrab, I know it would take away from the credibility of your e-mails, but if you want to continue getting answers in the future, you should consider censoring the name of the respondent. If Mr. Zacks or somebody with Sasquatch reprimanded said agents after seeing their name in an e-mail here on the board, they might be loathe to help out in the future. Just a thought. Again, nice work I hadn't thought of that. Good idea, as I don't want to get anyone in trouble even moreso than worrying about getting info again next year. I'll just post the text of the emails from now on. I think I've established that I'm not just making up correspondence with agents haha, so just text without a screenshot should suffice.

Mister Heavenly: Hello. Definitely not on Sasquatch and not too likely that they'll be playing Bonnaroo either this year.

The Swell Season are out. This is an example of the kind of personalized email I've gotten back from a lot of agents. It's ones like these that make me think most of the denials I'm hearing are accurate. That being said, some are just a simple no or without any elaboration, so it's possible a few names I've listed as denied will show up on the poster. But for the most part I feel confident in virtually all of the confirm/denies I'm listing for you guys. I feel like an agent is more likely to just ifnore my email than respond with a false no. Again, I appreciate the thanks I've gotten for doing this. I haven't sent out any emails in a few days, and won't be doing anymore, but will still update you as responses come to me. Also, I missed Pretty Lights at last year's Roo, so if that turns out to be true I'm pretty excited.

Sorry I can't help more!
Thanks for your support! "
Moby: "please see Moby's web site for all confirmed dates. He is mainly playing DJ dates this year, not playing live. He's not confirmed for either of the festivals you mention below,"

Nailed a pretty big one for you guys. It appears Pretty Lights will be there: EMA seems to be out but will be at Bonnaroo. Klaxons are out: Aphex Twin appears to be out: Gang Gang Dance are out. Peter, Bjorn, and John are out but writing new material. Ambiguous about Yelle:

Where's the original source for that? If that's our lineup I'm a very happy man. It's missing parts of what was leaked on the site though, so that could be an incomplete lineup if it is indeed the real deal.
