Same goes for Interpol, by the way. I don't see anything that would rule them out, but I also don't see an indication they would be there. They're playing two American festivals in May (in Atlanta and Salt Lake City) and are in Europe through June. I don't think that means anything for Thing?

Not to be a party pooper, but I don't see how Alvvays' tour dates make them likely. Their North American dates end in the middle of May, and, while we don't know when Thing's potential dates would be, I don't think it would be that early in the year. And sure, they're skipping the PNW on this leg, but they've already played Seattle twice in support of Blue Rev. They're a fun live band, and I'd enjoy seeing them at Thing, but I don't think their currently-announced dates give any indication they'd be there. Am I missing something you noticed?

Murmurs on the side are that PT is just an expensive place for a large scale event. Eyes are set on a certain King Gizz venue a bit east of Seattle for next year. Wait, what??

Did anybody even go to this thing? Yessir! It was a pretty great time! Crowds were much better than last year. Felt better attended.

Wow the non-presale price poop is much more brutal than I was expecting I thought it was the same. I waited until today to buy 4 together to save $150 on camping, and it was the same price per ticket ($349.50) as when I looked into using the STG presale code.

I'd guess the answer is as mundane as someone saying "huh this date is pretty clear of competition let's announce then." Or, fingers crossed, there's a tour announcement tomorrow morning that isn't on our radar! How are we feeling going into tomorrow's announcement? Still thinking Cigarettes After Sex / Sylvan Esso / Fleet Foxes? Is there someone I'm missing?

The Tallest Man on Earth is skipping the PNW on his tour and has no dates after May. If he's playing shows at the end of the summer, I think he'd be a perfect fit. Falls right into the Jose Gonzalez mold. Played Sasquatch twice. Playing Neptune Theatre 9/23.

I had hoped we would have heard from Thing today. Last year, Thing announced their return on the Wednesday before unveiling the lineup on Tuesday morning. They already announced their return, but tomorrow will be two weeks since then, and there hasn't been a peep! If we don't hear from them by 10am tomorrow, we probably won't hear from them until next week. Come on AZ, my summer calendar is already filling up! Do you think they didn't want to get overshadowed by CHBP's announcement? I would think their audiences don't overlap much these days. Just a professional courtesy not to announce as well? There have just been so many show and festival announcements already that I'd think Thing would want to go on sale before folks spend through their budgets.

Youth Lagoon hasn't announced any dates to go along with his comeback album yet, but he'd fit. Also realized I forgot to mention Run the Jewels as a possibility. They haven't played Seattle since opening for Lorde in 2018. They were supposed to come through with Rage, but all those shows have now been cancelled after a couple of reschedulings. They only have one upcoming show, and I think I saw a rumor Killer Mike was returning to solo music this summer, so they might not even be a possibility, but I wanted to throw them out there. Their shows rock hard.

So of that list, I think the most likely options are Alvvays and the Beths. Alvvays are playing Beach Road Weekend in Martha's Vineyard the same weekend. Doesn't rule them out, but would be a lot of travel. Alvvays have new dates that keep them in the Northeast that whole weekend. The Beths are supporting the DCfC/Postal Service tour in Seattle in October. Doesn't necessarily rule them out, but my ideas are dropping like flies! Hopefully we get some news later this morning.

Didn't David Byrne play Paramount like a day after Sasquatch back in 2018? Not expecting anything like that to happen, but sometimes oddities occur. Yeah, but that was such a unique example where tickets for neither the festival nor that show were affected. Thing seems still to small and new to not book artists with other local dates at the same time.

A couple of tour announcements this morning rule out potential Thing headliners. Interesting that these acts will be in the area during the same time period, so I wasn't far off. Playing Woodland Park Zoo 8/23. Playing White River Amphitheater 8/20,

I'm a pretty big fan, but who the fuck is this band's actual demographic? The Sylvan Esso show two days prior isn't sold out and is only $14 more, so it's not like the Cigarettes After Sex show is some crazy bargain. Do they have an alt rock radio hit I don't know about?

Wow, that Cigarettes After Sex Edgefield show is already sold out! So they're definitely headlining Thing. I've listened to them this weekend, and I dig 'em, but I'm still baffled by their popularity. Caught me completely off guard.
