If Haim plays, do we think they could be headliners? Coachella is their only festival date I've seen announced so far and they're billed second on their day. HAIM was supposed to play in the same slot that The Roots played at Bumbershoot last year before cancelling the day of. I don't think they would headline but I don't know shit. Yeah, they would have headlined the third stage (opposite ODESZA and Gucci Mane... what a world) and played Portland's Roseland Theater (capacity ~1400) a few days later. Because they cancelled their Bumbershoot appearance, they still haven't played the Seattle market on this album cycle, which could theoretically boost their slot on the lineup. But, despite also sub-headlining Coachella, I think they'll sub-headline Sasquatch this year.

www.bandsintown.com/e/21193191?app_id=squarespace-jesse-jacobsen&came_from=267I don't know how official bandsintown is, but if it's real, I would add HAIM and Maggie Rogers to the rumoured list. Maggie Rogers is already playing everywhere, and HAIM makes sense. EDIT: I went to reddit (treason, I know) to scoop it, but it was already shared there by u/gorgelifem83, so props to that user for being first. Maggie Rogers lists the date on her official site and links to that bandsintown page. HAIM doesn't have tour dates on their website (their only announced ones at this point are Coachella), but this is good enough for me! I'm adding them to this list now.

We can put Tune-yards up here now too yeah? Not really. They're still up in the air on account of they're playing Seattle at the end of February. The only bit of evidence for this is that she's playing Lightning In a Bottle. She has played Sasquatch before, but there are 65 other artists on the lineup, and we only have three of them. Tune-Yards is no where near confirmed, or even rumored.

The question I've been wondering all day, does Byrne headline a festival like Sasquatch? Muse/Byrne/hip-hop or EDM? I don’t think he’s going to based off of who I know for sure is booked ahead of him. But then again I don’t know for sure or not.This fucking guy.

In my opinion, Muse would be the biggest rock band to play Sasquatch since Foo Fighters in 2011. Obviously 21 Pilots are very popular, but that feels different. I guess Mumford & Sons in 2013, but that was still early in their career. Which is why I don't think Muse will play. I mean, this is a band that has previously headlined Glastonbury. They'd be a huge get.

David Byrne is not ruled out! I refuse to accept it. The two days off between Seattle and Portland certainly is interesting.

So far today, we've ruled out Jack White, David Byrne, Fleet Foxes, Preoccupations, Dr. Dog, and (Sandy) Alex G. chubbystackz, are you sure that your insider friend isn't a closeted Chainsmokers and Halsey super fan? At least hope is alive for Fever Ray!

Fleet Foxes dates:
5/21 – Nashville, TN 5/22 – Nashville, TN 5/23 – Louisville, KY 5/24 – Indianapolis, IN 5/25-27 – Boston Calling 5/26 – South Burlington, VT
So they would either have to play Boston Calling on 5/25 and play Sasquatch for their seventh show in seven days the day immediately following a show in Vermont, or go TN ->KY -> IN -> Sasquatch -> VT -> Boston Calling in six days, neither option seems likely to me.

I know it's been talked to death but Fleet Foxes look pretty likely now with additional dates in OR and CA with Seattle missing. I disagree because one of their new dates is 5/26 in Vermont, and we already know they're playing Boston Calling, so I think they're pretty unlikely now.

I feel like that David Byrne tour announcement might be part of why Sasquatch's lineup announcement got pushed back this year. It gives his solo show time to sell out (which I'm sure it will, almost instantly). And everyone who missed out on that be one will get another shot when Sasquatch goes on sale a few weeks later. Dude, I fucking hope you're right. It would be cruel of the universe to punish my dedication to Sasquatch by having David Byrne perform in Portland at the exact same time fucking Halsey is performing on Sasquatch's main stage.

There was? Oh, I missed that. it was most likely 100+ pages ago tbh haha The only things I can find are some dude with 22 posts putting them on his list of hopeful bands and fart saying he'd have no problem with them coming back.

They also sub-headlined just last year, but yeah. there was some talk of them being the token band to play 2 years in a row this year, supporting their new album. There was? Oh, I missed that.

The Decemberists heated up the hype machine last night. I expect some album/tour news soon.

My new long-shot hope is that he plays MusicfestNW presents Project Pabst in Portland. Last year's dates are 8/26-27 (last weekend in August). The last weekend in August this year is 8/25-26. Iggy Pop played last year, and Duran Duran played two years ago. David Byrne August tour dates:
8/16 – Oakland, CA @ Fox Theater 8/18 – San Jose, CA @ City National Civic Auditorium 8/21 – Sacramento CA @ Community Theater 8/24 – Santa Barbara, CA @ Santa Barbara Bowl 8/28 – Morrison, CO @ Red Rocks Amphitheater
He could easily play Portland Sunday night (8/26) between those Santa Barbara and Red Rocks shows. Come on, Pabst!

Not that I was expecting them for Sasquatch in 2018, but the Afghan Whigs and Built to Spill's co-headlinging tour hits Seattle 5/15.

David Byrne is playing Seattle May 24th and Portland May 27th. What a convenient gap! This guy fucks. These David Byrne dates are weird to me. Why two off days between Seattle and Portland? And I imagine his Seattle show will be sold out before Sasquatch announces its lineup.

Tune Yards just added a whole bunch of dates that makes them look like a strong possibility. They're playing Seattle at the end of February, so that could go either way. I think the only indicator here is that they play in California 5/25. But the professor is right. There's nothing definitive about their new tour dates. They're certainly possible.
