CoS’ Coachella prediction
We’ve been covering all these festivals so much that our heads are spinning. But with a Coachella announcement coming on Monday night, Tuesday morning, we figured we should have some fun and make our own Coachella 2008 headliner predictions.
These predictions by no means are confirmations, well except for Portishead, so don’t take too much out of them. However, these are bands that have been rumored and/or would be a realistic options so they aren’t all that far fetched.
Alex’s predictions:
Friday Headliner: R.E.M.
Saturday Headliner: Portishead
Sunday Headliner: Prince
You’ll also see: Kanye West, Chemical Brothers, Weezer, The Verve, and Carlos Santana
Mike’s Predictions:
Friday Headliner: Weezer
Saturday Headliner: Portishead
Sunday Headliner: Coldplay
You’ll also see: Magnetic Fields, Jay-Z
We’ll see if we’re right come Tuesday. Feel free to make your own predictions after the jump.

Well it looks like I was wrong about Prince…
there is no artist named “kayne” west
Portishead as headliners? As popular as they are, I don’t see it. Same with Weezer (and, as much as I like them, do they really need to play a third year?) Does Pink Floyd/Roger Waters really fit at Coachella (while I think Prince mostly would)? I’m with you on R.E.M. for Friday night. And I would say to not count Oasis out. (I’m not a source and I have no inside information, but I have been at Coachella for every single year.)
The Weezer one isn’t popping up as much as the others. But I wouldn’t at all be shocked.
Right now, the names (outside of Portishead) floating around seem to be Prince, Weezer and Roger Waters which has promptly morphed into the inevitable and fully unrealistic Pink Floyd rumor. These are of course names that are just floating around.
Yeah I second that thx 4 the coverage, but I truly hope you are both wrong about the headliners, all of them except portishead, I’m still hoping 4 a “miracle” and have radiohead in there, I’m sure it will be a worthy lineup regardless when it’s all said n done
Coachella suspense is killing me…thanks for all of the thorough coverage!
Carlos Santana is not playing!
