I'm guessing Street Sweeper(Morello+Boots Riley) will be added as they're opening for the NIN-JA tour. But I wish Mastodon would get added to Monday, against Ben Harper. Do something so people who don't like Harper(like my 8 friends and I) will have something to attend at the end of Sasquatch. Last year sucked when Ghostland went against the Lips.

NIN is an amazing live band, the Lights in the Sky show is one of the most inventive things I've ever seen or worked.

I'm hoping all festival organizers have learned from the Kanye/Bonnaroo F' up and leave that moron off this lineup. I see Kanye on there and I'm calling in an air strike! Bring on Tuesday!!!!!! I can't F'ing wait! You're just jealous you're not the guy with two thumbs and his own Louis shoe.

Bob Dylan isn't too pleasant live, I saw him like summer before sophmore year of high school. It's cool to see the guy once, but you can't understand a damn thing he says most of the time. I highly doubt he knows where he even is most the time anymore. I'm pretty sure he just wants to play every city in America.

The diversity is all about 80s Hip Hop Night Beastie Boys and Public Enemy AMAZING! Probably won't happen. The point of a festival, especially one like Sasquatch seems to just always have different music coming. 07 had Bjork, Arcade Fire, and Manu Chao; and Beasties, Interpol, and Spoon. 08 had Lips, Mars Volta, and Flight of the Conchords; The Cure, Death Cab, and Michael Franti; REM, Modest Mouse, and MIA. They never really have a lot to do with each other. Sure you can relate Death Cab and the Cure and MM was opening for REM on their tour. But outside of that, not a whole lot. Having rap follow rap, while I enjoy both, doesn't really seem to be Sasquatch's thing. It's not really a diverse thing to do that.

Good but I'm about when they're coming to Montana. That really isn't the best idea in terms of getting people to either one.

a sound engineer/roadie friend CLAIMS he's been hired to work a segment of the No Doubt tour and that one of the legs will take them to the gorge. He doesn't know if it's for No Doubt, Paramore, The Sounds or even Bedouin Sound Clash. Maybe one of them, maybe more... I would take info from him with a grain of salt... just passing it along. There's always a chance they're just playing the Gorge. But if they did do Sasquatch, either the Sounds or Bedouin would be awesome.

Except KOL are not as big in the US as they are in the UK. That could be argued. I personally lost a lot of interest in them over the past few years. It seems like they are one of the biggest bands in the US as of late though. I don't really know what kind of response they get in the UK. They obviously must be well-received.................. I was reading a comment someone made earlier about the Kaiser Chiefs being a possibility, and I don't really see it. Kinda on the same topic in regards to response in the US compared to the UK. Kaiser Chiefs are possibly bigger than Jesus over there, but once again, I don't know what the normal reaction to Jesus is in the UK......... Anyways, the point I'm trying to make is that Kaiser Chiefs play enormously huge crowds, and they wouldn't play to many at Sasquatch! It doesn't seem like they'd go out of the way to play at the Gorge, unless they were nearby touring at the time, and even then I don't see it happening. I just don't see them being at Sasquatch! They went 4x platinum in the UK and as you said, headlined Glastonbury. They're very popular over there compared to here.

Sigur Ros, a friend works for LN and said they've been trying for a few yearyets and hasn't worked out yet. He may just say this to surprise me later, but I doubt it.

They headlined Glastonbury last year. If you're not familiar with Glasto, it's arguably the biggest music fest in the world next to Roskilde, Coachella, and Bonnaroo. I would put money on them headlining a night, unless they open for a much older, more established band. Except KOL are not as big in the US as they are in the UK.

seanznor, really cause i saw that exact same set a month and a half laster at VirginFest in Calgary? I don't believe the UFO show was there. If it was then the contract was US exclusive which is possible. But even the Lips listed the Sasquatch show as the only UFO show of 08. Then again it's the Flaming Lips, so anything goes.

Saul would be sweet. But since we're not going to attend the Warped tour, but instead the Sasquatch Music Festival, I hope that Flogging Molly will stay far away. Cause seeing Flogging Molly only do 40 minutes is awesome. They're an awesome live band, if Bad Brains could play, they could.

They actually didn't stumble upon the Lips, they wanted them and they wanted them to do the show no one else had.

I'd love for Of Montreal to be on, only because I live in Montana and have had no chance to see them and would love to.
Also there doesn't seem like enough northwest bands this line up. I personally would love Jaguar Love, Past Lives, and just to make my dreams come true, the Murder City Devils.

The Thermals too punk at a festival that's had Bad Brains?

I was reminded this by a friend: Sasquatch isn't just about Seattle. From what he said over half of tickets to Sasquatch sold aren't even in the Seattle area.
