Sasquatch '07 lineup

[fsm10]

Where's the Canadian draw? Last year was the Tragically Hip. Bring down groups like Metric or Tegan and Sara. Or hell, bring back Sam Roberts so he can actually perform rather than being cancelled due to hail. Hoping more acts will be announced soon.

NEW ORLEANS IS SINKIN MAN AND I DONT WANNA SWIM

[SometimesNJ]

this is like a combination of coachella and roo artists..with the exception of beasties. i'm sure theyll add a few big names that differ from the other lineups.

[arlyn]

Can't book all the same acts. Coachella tries to be unique.

Kudos to Coachella for knowing which acts not to book because they knew what all of the other festivals were going to book.

[matsuolost]

im down for saturday

[TomAz]

when they count 'carbon neutral' does that include methane?

[matsuolost]

[Boourns]

I predicted Muse. Oops.

I always wondered if GV paid certain bands extra not to play at any other "specific" festivals, like the Roo.

Both Coachella and Bonnaroo practice this ie Radiohead's exclusive festival appearence at Bonnaroo last year.

Maybe this year, I won't be woken up by drunken Canucks singing 'O Canada' at 4am.

I dont see why they wouldnt count it, but I cant think of anything that is going to emmit methane that will be at Sasquatch (nonetheless any other festival). If people are using natural gas there will be by products of methane (CO2 and water) that could potentially be counted.

That picture is taken at probably a 40 degree decline. I love The Gorge.

[chunk]

how are you going to afford to go?

[Courtney]

There's always selling your organs...

WOW. That wasn't Canadians. That was me. This is really really really funny. Sorry about that.

[miseducation]

Pitchfork is saying that this is indeed a preliminary lineup. And they're doing it carbon neutral. Sweet!

But remember - this is the same Pitchfork that said this about our lineup for Coachella '07 was

And this is apparently just the "preliminary" lineup!

And maybe it would've been if Rage mania hadn't swept up all tickets in a frenzy.

It was a joke. A dumb joke. The worst kind of dumb joke: a fart joke.

I got it....I laughed...on the inside....I'm down there with you

[ayates]

Dandy Warhols...excellent.

Are you serious ?? LOL.

I was like WTF ? Who is singing at 4am ??

[codytwo]

It was totally me. And it was satire. I dislike almost all Canadian music, and I have a longstanding blood feud with the Tragically Hip. Its a very long story.

[itsalltoomuch]

im bummed about this line up.

[fsm10]

I think anyone who went to Sasquatch last year were spoiled with the crazy lineup they had last year. Beck, Death Cab, Ben Harper, NIN, Queens of the Stone Age, The Hip, Matisyahu, Arctic Monkeys, etc. So many well knowns and some just becoming popular. This year just seems lacking a certain something. Maybe the ownership transition has something to do with it.

[codytwo]

Same people behind it....

[fsm10]

Same people behind it....

Live Nation (Clear Channel) bought House of Blues including the Gorge Amphitheatre last least year.

[paulb]

the fuckin Beastie Boys are gonna be there, and Bad Brains! What are you complaining about? There are alot of up and coming bands there, true, its lacking some big big names...but it still has Manu Chao, MIA, Arcade Fire, Silversun Pickups will be there.
