  1. 1150 was the SSC update, they suck, but they are an update none the less

  2. I’m confused. What was the 11:50 update? All the info you have listed was from a few hours earlier right (the poster changes and the Arctic Monkeys tour dates)?

  3. No Grace Jones?? BOO!!!

    Arctic Monkeys rumored?? Hooray!

    Oh, Coachella. You’re such an emotional rollercoaster…

  4. Why the fuck is Grace Jones gone?!? Please find out and let us know

  5. no more grace jones? that blows.

  6. Alex, don’t forget the At The Drive-In romor that’s floating around…but it seems too far fetched to be real.

  7. also street sweeper social club is on the new poster as well

  8. The shittiest band ever was added to Friday finally, Street Sweeper Social Club.
    They BLOW

  9. Bad Lieutenant have been added to Saturday and are on the poster. Thank the Coachella message board for the find:

    http://www.coachella.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36677

    Grace Jones also dropped out:

    http://www.coachella.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36679

  10. Delorean is touring with Miike Snow and Dragonette with Little Boots. Let’s get them on the lineup already. They’re too good to just be there watching the festival. Boys Noize, the Antlers. Sufjan. Come on.

  11. Haha, Basement Jacks.

  12. Sunday is already one of the strongest days in Coachella history, I don’t see those large of adds on Sunday but, Im all for !!!, Basement Jacks and the Antlers!

  13. i would not mind AT ALL if !!!, YACHT, The Antlers, Andrew W.K., The Dodos, Flipper, NOMO, the Juan MacLean, and Basement Jaxx were added to Sunday.

  14. The weakest collection of the series,
    wtf is that hip-hopper doing at a music festival?

  15. Hm, wonder where/when Street Sweeper Social Club will play. I’m sure I won’t see them, because Friday is just too good already. But nice add.

  16. Anyone not excited for Gorillaz suck on this new single. Imagine it blasting on coachellas massive speakers it’ll be fuckin awesome you will melt.
    http://www.gorillaz.com/

  17. This lineup is ridiculous. People who really know what’s up have been asking for something like this for a long time.

    Thom Yorke
    Plastikman
    Orbital
    Gorillaz

    all acts that are very hard to get, let alone at the same festival… let alone on the same day!

    If you don’t like the lineup, don’t go. Less idiots.

  18. mr. man, are you stupid or blind?

  19. Sunday is the only day worth giving a shit about.

  20. the specials have added some north american dates around coachella!

    http://www.billboard.com/news#/events/the-specials-confirm-north-american-tour-1004064490.story

    can’t wait for toronto on april 19th. hate teh fuckin’ venue though.

  21. Club75 isn’t that hard to understand. All the listed DJ’s, taking turns and mashing stuff up. Simple as that!

  22. Two years ago they added Prince less than a month before.

  23. This will be my first Coachella (did Bonnaroo last year). How late will they continue to add artists to the line up?? Thx!

  24. Boots Riley just tweeted that Street Sweeper Social Club will be playing on Friday

  25. I heard that both members of Justice are playing with Club 75 so it’s not just Xavier. There’s supposed to be 6 guys there, both member of Justice, Busy P, DJ Mehdi, and both members of Cassius

  26. Anyone else have a feeling that Justice might end get added as a late addition? Figuring that Xavier will already be there along with their manager Busy P in Club 75, and they’ve been speculated to release a new album in early 2010.

  27. @StormTrooper:

    The 4 ?’s are Thom Yorke’s band with Flea, Joey Waronker, Mauro Refosko, and Nigel Godrich. The band is unnamed so thats what they’re calling it.

  28. Good question, StormTrooper! You should post this on the Coachella Board…

  29. Why is it “Thom Yorke????” What’s with the question marks?

  30. There should be some mor big adds. Both Wilco and The Flaming Lips still have the Coachella dates open. And of course the Beastie Boys are rummored.

  31. When are the adds comming? Anyone in the first 3 rows?

  32. Hey Guys,

    The High Sierra Festival doesn’t have a board, but does anyone know anything about it? Is it like other festivals like Wakarusa, Summer Camp, Bonnaroo, Coachella, etc… far as personal festivities go?

  33. Royksopp…soon.

  34. AND THE ANTLERS DAMNIT!!!!
    If Los Campesinos repeats again this year GV is just lazy

  35. It’s all fine and dandy that there are some great reunions. But how many times can we all see Vampire Weekend? I love them, and I’m going to watch them, but by now it’s not that big of a deal. Besides Jay-Z and the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, we need Mos Def, Doom, Dizzee Rascal…and Clipse needs to make up for his cancellation last year. The Arctic Monkeys were an amazing live act left off of last year’s bill. The Shins have an album coming out. The National have an album coming out. !!! plays Coachella nearly every two years…they have an album coming out. The Walkmen have an album coming out. The Arcade Fire have an album coming out. The Tallest Man On Earth’s second album comes out soon. The Veils need to come back to Coachella. The Felice Brothers were made for Coachella. Black Joe Lewis was at every festival last year, not Coachella. Wolf Parade or Sunset Rubdown would be nice additions. Owen Pallett is fantastic, but Andrew Bird was strangely absent from last years coachella. Where the Fuck is The Very Best. Grace Jones!!! Sweet! But what about Janelle Monae or Raphael Saadiq. Bonnie “Prince” Billy just came out with a live album. Fuck Buttons are going to be at all the “hip” festivals this year. Has Bat For Lashes played Coachella? Maximo Park’s album was better than the fuckin Cribs. What about another great instrumental band, i.e. Nomo. There’s a million new indie acts better than the crap on the bottom of this lineup. one eskimo? wtf? What about Cymbals Eat Guitars, Woods, Real Estate, Surfer Blood, The Mummers, Kurt Vile. This Coachella is decent, but it needs some real nice additions on all levels of the poster. I know…I’m not taking into account bands tour schedules…yadayada. There are a million flaws in my logic. But I feel other festivals like Bonaroo and Sasquatch! and now even Lolla are ahead of the curve in billing bands that are exciting to see throughout the whole poster.
    All this trash talking aside. I’m going. And I’m excited. But I’m furiously hoping for a couple of nice ads…obviously.
    Your Friend,
    Sugar Ray Leonard

  36. are there really no single tickets being sold this year?

  37. I don’t understand how Saturday is weak. Aside from the headliners (and that will change when they add someone else), you have some stellar shows. RX Bandits? MEW?! Portugal. The Man! Hot Chip. Dead Weather. Les Claypool. White Rabbits. Frightened Rabbit. Temper Trap (they opened for P. the man during cmj and were awesome live). Steel Train.

    There are some really talented and really good live shows Saturday. Mew is one of the best live bands. With RX Bandits and P. The Man and Dead Weather rocking. And dance with tiesto later. I wish I could go.

    I just hope APW turns it on this year and that lolla gets the flips

  38. If Of Montreal were mystically added somehow I would be completely happy with the lineup. Either way my tickets are bought so I have to be happy.

    Heh.

  39. Of Montreal would be a nice addition..

  40. weak? what bullshit. muse infected mushroom tiesto kaskade deadmau5 them crooked vultures MAYBE the beastie boys? nah this is dope line up

  41. Add !!! and the National…please?

  42. You are right alot. So, can we expect adds in any of the top two lines then?

  43. We still had it right ;)

  44. Considering that said article states Jay-Z would be playing Saturday, I wouldn’t put much faith into it.

  45. Hey Alex how do you know Jay-Z is going to have special guests?

  46. I don’t get the hate for Jay-Z. By the time it’s all said and done, his performance will go down as one of the best of the weekend. It’s been like that at every festival he has played. Plus, you guys are getting special guests!

  47. I meant: stupid. Typo.

  48. no more srupid hip-hop please!!! get Jay-z out !!!

  49. Massive attack would be great!!! They’re playing some concerts in Mexico in feb. and Australia in april

  50. to Mick

    How can you say that this lineup is weak? When Friday and Sunday are so stacked. Public Image Ltd and Echo and the Bunnymen could probably sub-headline most years, but are put on the third and fourth lines respectively. Vampire Weekend probably could as well (after all they do have the number one album on the charts right now. One of the biggest names in music right now in Jay-Z at the top of the bill. Reunions like PIL, The Specials, Faith No More, Orbital, and Pavement. Rare gets like Gorillaz, Thom Yorke, Fever Ray, Grace Jones (who played the hollywood bowl by the way), Sly and the Family Stone, Jonsi, Julian Casablancas, Gary Numan, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Club 75, Yann Tierson, Plastikman, Gil-Scott Heron. And there’s still The Dead Weather, Grizzly Bear, Them Crooked Vultures, LCD Soundsystem, Beach House, the big pink, the xx etc etc etc on the bill.

  51. I think this lineup compares pretty well with last years. I think the Gorillaz will be an epic closer. I do believe we will get one fairly big addition each day. Friday: Beasties, Saturday: Soundgarden or Someone to headline over Muse, Sunday: Massive Attack.

    The subs are what coachella is all about. My day isn’t dictated by who closes the festival, 08 my day wasn’t ruined by Jack Johnson, and last year saturday wasn’t ruined by me not catching a minute of the killers. The headliners are icing on the cake. I do think Saturday is very very weak though.

  52. Hypnotic Brass Ensemble was added yesterday. Surprised it hasn’t been mentioned here yet.

  53. Coachella is gonna hurt on ticket sales this year.

  54. @TheGoose

    Ya i’ll play. I’ve been since 2004. This is pretty hard.

    1) 2008
    2) 2006
    3) 2005
    4) 2009
    5) 2004
    6) 2007

  55. Good Additions For Example Would Include: (I don’t know their tour schedules, but…)
    Some Newer Fun Bands
    Woods
    Surfer Blood
    Titus Andronicus
    Ponytail
    Neon Indian

    Bands with albums coming out this year
    The Shins
    Fleet Foxes (yeah, yeah, repeat, whatever - best live act in 09 for me)

    Bands they should’ve booked Because they had great albums last year, or just for why not?
    Wilco
    Mission of Burma
    Flaming Lips
    Mos Def
    Modest Mouse

    Bands that have members there already
    The Strokes
    Radiohead
    The White Stripes
    Blur

    Bands That We All Want to Get Booked
    Daft Punk

    I Know that was dumb and will probably get a lot of hate, but if you guys want to add to this go ahead.

  56. TheGoose,
    I was just thinking about that as well. However I’ve only been going since 06, but my list would have to go
    07
    06
    08
    09
    Admittedly, I haven’t been wanting to say it, but this lineup LOOKS weak. I’m gonna go, and maybe since I won’t have to be running around from stage to tent to tent to stage I’ll have a different experience. Here’s to hoping for some good additions.

  57. Who cares? This line-up is weak, and no matter who says that they “love the third acts”… this line-up is crazy weak, and you all know it

  58. HOLY SHIT!

  59. Andrew> You’re right…now. I looked at the same exact webpage and they had a link to http://www.myspace.com/leclub75... i guess they realized their mistake.

  60. All Coachella artists, threaded alphabetically, and embedded youtube videos of their live performances/popular songs. Free, no registration crap, no membership crap, just free. Hope you can use it. =)http://oneseasonnation.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=81

  61. Club 75? Its not 2007 anymore!!

  62. If you look on the Coachella lineup page, the Club 75 they acquired for the fest is:

    BUSY P + CASSIUS + DJ MEHDI + JUSTICE

  63. Captain> I’m not trynig to be a dick but…
    what does BUSY P + CASSIUS + DJ MEHDI + JUSTICE Has to do with CLUB 75???

    Club 75=
    Jean Marc Lecoq : chant
    Frédéric Molteni : basse
    Mohsen Cherraoui : batterie
    Fabien Allibrant : guitare

    JUSTICE= Gaspard Augé + Xavier de Rosnay
    BUSY P= Pedro Winter
    DJ MEHDI= Mehdi Favéris-Essadi
    CASSIUS= Philippe Cerboneschi + Hubert Blanc-Francard

    What the hell !!!??

  64. Anonymous, not even trying to be a dick here, but you seriously can’t figure out that equation? I guess you could say it would be like how to describe a supergroup, i.e. Dave Grohl + Josh Homme + John Paul Jones = Them Crooked Vultures.

  65. ‘BUSY P + CASSIUS + DJ MEHDI + JUSTICE = CLUB 75′

    What does this mean? What is CLUB 75? Are these groups all performing at Coachella this year? Thanks.

  66. Anyone down for a Coachella year-by-year ranking? Because thats what art is for…to be ranked in order of greatness by people who have never produced anything. I’ve been lucky enough to go to every Cella…so here goes…please join me…
    1. 07
    2. 04
    3. 06
    4. 99
    5. 03
    6. 08
    7. 02
    8. 09
    9. 05
    10. 01

  67. good call Josh…that seems entirely possible…sidenote: will Charlotte Gainsbourg be sawing off anyone’s genitals during her performance?

  68. Well… Prince was added a few days before the Festival when the headliner was PORTISHEAD, so it is very possible.

  69. I was looking over past Coachella posters and noticed on a couple there were three subheadliners on each day. What are the chances that we might get late adds to that line? Fitting rumors might put Wilco on friday, Beastie Boys on saturday and Soundgarden on sunday. I think this would round out the music styles for the weekend nicely.

  70. My bad!

  71. Jonsi is still on the poster. He just moved up one line.

  72. The poster keeps on changing. Jonsi was removed and the xx and Grizzly Bear were bumped back down to their previous position.

  73. I am confused about this, Im sorry, Im a noob, but why is it “Thom Yorke????” Whats with the question marks?

  74. Why was MEW removed from the poster on the official page? :(

  75. It should be Old Crow Medicine Show not Old Medicine Crow Show

  76. Not very spectaculair if you ask me…

    They should have changed 2 essential artists on the bill:

    Julian Casablancas for The Strokes
    Thom Yorke for Radiohead

    Would have been a lot easier for me ;)

  77. CAPS LOCK RULES

  78. BEASTIE BOYS ARE NOT PLAYING COACHELLA…. THE ONLY SLOT THEY COULD TAKE IS LCD SOUNDSYSTEM’S, AND I DONT SEE THEM OPENING FOR JAY-Z! IVE SEEN THEM OPEN FOR THE POLICE AND PHISH, I DONT THINK THEY WOULD OPEN FOR JAY. THEY ARE HEADLINERS AND THEY WILL HEADLINE LOLLAPALOOZA THIS YEAR.

  79. ARE U GUYS FUCKING KIDDING ME NO GOOD DJ ACTS? DO YOU KNOW WHAT CLUB 75 IS?
    BUSY P + CASSIUS + DJ MEHDI + JUSTICE = CLUB 75

    THATS RIGHT BEST COACHELLA EVER!!!

  80. I love the line-up. I will be making the trip from seattle this year (first Coachella). But I was looking forward to The Beastie Boys (missed them at Outside Lands last summer) and my favorite grunge band reunite Soundgarden. There seems to be a second line act missing from each day, do you think these might be late addittions?

  81. Soooooooo… are the beastie boys out?!?!

    I thought they were “heavily” rumored?

  82. This year is feeling like budgetchella.

  83. Coachella needs a better headliner for one of those days. Plus better DJ’s or Dance acts. All the sub headliners, mid level and lower tier bands are great.

  84. All of you that don’t like this line up are on crack!! I think even Captain Asshole will give it props.

  85. Although there are a few bands I would love to see, this lineup is boring!

  86. Jonsi Added!

  87. Its more like Coa-meh-lla

  88. So who else did 900 backflips when they saw the poster? Sly and The Family Stone? I’m there.

  89. that caleb guy a few posts down looks pretty retarded doesn’t he? especially since the lineup was out at that point.

  90. Yann fucking Tiersen is the man!!! This is just epic. No other words, just epic!

  91. What happened to Tegan and Sara?

  92. Looks like a sick line up but I sure most of you regulars on this blog will find something to bitch about.

  93. I thought you guys said the lineup would be posted today? I guess that’s what I get for assuming I had stumbled upon a legit publication. Boo.

  94. Veteran Act is the Beastie Boys, fools…Poorly Kept Secret = Muse, and Long time request filled = GORILLAZ..

    JAY-Z ..to be added later…

    peace out..

  95. That would be awesome if U2 played. I don’t think its going to happen, but then again Paul McCartney played last year, so you never know.

  96. http://www.last.fm/user/theworkingmannn

    U2 - Muse - Pearl Jam - Pavement - Massive Attack - Soundgarden - Echo & the Bunnymen - Thom Yorke - Dinosaur Jr - LCD Soundsystem - Basement Jaxx - Underworld - Shpongle - Royksopp - Wilco - Spoon - Them Crooked Vultures - The Dead Weather - Feist - Goldfrapp - The Mars Volta - Grizzly Bear - Dethklok - Monsters of Folk - Yeasayer - Phoenix - Bat for Lashes - Battles - Julian Casablancas - The Big Pink - Portugal. The Man

    FOR COACHELLA 2010
    off of the Coachella message board

  97. Damn you’re right. Maybe it did?

  98. When I click on that link, I don’t see that article. Was it already pulled???

  99. It’s not gonna happen tonight is it?

  100. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    From http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/music/:

    “Thom Yorke, The Strokes, Vampire Weekend, Tiesto and LCD Soundsystem will be announced early tomorrow as a few of the big names for this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and promoter Paul Tollett and gang still have some aces up their sleeves. The eleventh installment of the desert blowout is shaping up to be one of the most well played secrets in its illustrious history.

    Besides those listed above — admittedly a pack of heavy hitters — the headliner lineup will include one veteran act, a poorly kept secret and long time request fulfilled. Jay-Z’s name is still hot on the rumor mill (can’t confirm that as of now, sorry), and so are The Beastie Boy’s.

    More later.

  101. you are right, I preferred Coachellas lineup. I just think it is sad that they are settling on such weak headliners after 07 and 08 were star studed (-Jack Johnson) how the fuck did that ever happen? The Verve shouldve headlined

  102. I don’t see how The Roo beat Coachella last year. Paul=Bruce, The Killers=Beastie Boys, The Cure>Phish, Moz=Byrne, NIN=MBV. It seemed like they had pretty equal lineups last year and The Roo having one band headline two nights puts them a step back in my eyes I really don’t care who the band is they should not headline two nights of a festival.

  103. Well if Jay-Z was the surprise, he isn’t anymore. So GV needs to keep on looking especially now that Bonarroo is promising to be off the fuckin charts this year with The Who, the Stones, and others. It’d be a shame to get beat by Bonarroo 2 years in a row

  104. Jay Z is meant to be a “surprise” but apparently someone let the cat out of the bag. Beasties Boys are the headliner that will most likely be on the poster. Expect Jay Z to be added once Staples sells out or comes close to it.

  105. Yeah, Underworld is nothing more than a rumor. It was mentioned in an email, but we haven’t been able to confirm it one way or another.

  106. Underworld has been debunked by the coachella board mod.

  107. fucking Underworld though? Holy shit where’d that come from?

  108. Foucault, you’re missing the point. It’s the general idea that Beastie Boys are an acceptable headliner for a festival with a lot of indie rock acts, but somehow Jay-Z “doesn’t fit.” If you’re not one of the people saying that then obviously I’m not talking about you. And don’t give me the “well Beastie Boys sample Led Zeppelin so they’re rock-friendly” line - Jay-Z sampled The Doors.

  109. I’m not necessarily a rap fan, but I would still love to jam out to Jay-Z. For those of you who don’t want to watch, go to the dance tent, I am sure they will have an awesome DJ at that same time.

  110. Yes Jay-Z is the 3rd headliner. He is one of the biggest rap artists/producers in the history of rap music. He puts on an amazing show and will have special guests. Also, he will bring in a huge crowd mixed with repeat Coachella goers as well as Jay-Z/rap fans. So, yes, of course he is headlining. We all know The Beastie Boys will be there but not in a headlining spot, so who do you think their gonna open for? Jay-Z.

  111. If you wanna see some funny shit, watch Jay light up Glastonbury after Oasis said he had no business @ that fest.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrDIOVXx-y8

  112. I REALLY DON’T SEE ANY RACISM IN REGARDS TO JAY-Z PLAYING. MOST OF THE COACHELLA FANS ARE NOT INTERESTED IN SEEING JAY-Z HEADLINE THIS WONDERFUL FESTIVAL IS ALL. MOST COACHELLA FANS WOULDN’T BE INTERESTED SEEING METALLICA AS A COACHELLA HEADLINER ALSO. IT’S NOT RACIST, ITS A MATTER OF RESPECT FOR THIS FESTIVAL THAT ALL OF US ARE SO EAGERLY AWAITING IS ALL. IF JAY-Z IS HEADLINING, YOU KNOW HE IS GONNA KILL. LET’S JUST BE THANKFUL ITS NOT AC/DC. THAT STATEMENT PROBABLY MADE ME SOUND LIKE A PERSON RACIST AGAINST AUSTRALIANS OF SCOTTISH DESCENT.

  113. Jay-Z is not the third headliner. Seriously, he’s not. Keep guessing people.

  114. Oh geez can I dislike Jay Z without being labeled a racist? Here ya go: I have no interest in the Beastie Boys either. I guess that makes me anti-semitic, huh? Get a life.

  115. I totally agree with lack of faithless

  116. Just received word that the initial lineup will be posted at 7:00pm PST on KROQ.com, and the rest of the entire lineup should be announced at some point later on early tomorrow.

  117. I like the subtle racism in all this Jay-Z backlash. Beastie Boys? Yeah that’d be fine. Jay-Z? Naw, that nigga should be at Rock the Bells!

  118. Alex:

    The latest update says Jay-Z is “Expected”. Does that make him the mysterious 3rd headliner? Can you confirm?

  119. W-H-to the izzo-I-to-the-T-E S-to the izzo-T-to-the-R-I-P-E-S

  120. jay-z only works as a headliner if the beasties are the sub…

  121. If it is Jay-Z, Gorillaz, and Muse it will be the first time I didn’t look at the headliners and be surprised. Last year the anticipation was met with Macca-Cure-Killers, and while I have no time for Killers and Macca, it was at least typical Coachella that surprised me. I never go for the headliners anyway, so i don’t really care one way or the other, but bring on Public Image LTD., XX, Gary Numan, Devo, Beach House, Dirty Projectors, Big Pink, Echo and the Bunnymen! I’m still holding out hope for Interpol, Beastie Boys, The Drums, Bad Liuetenant, and The Strokes. Coachella will be great as usual!!!!

  122. NO

  123. any possibility of Explosions in the Sky???

  124. GV, Prepare yourselves for a HOVA backlash ……

  125. Jay-z better not be headlining coachella…that nigga belongs at rock the bells

  126. Yeah that isn’t going to happen.

  127. I honestly don’t know. I’m with everyone else trying to figure out who the “not Jay Z” headliner is and am baffled, unless The Beastie Boys are really being asked to headline or else not play at all.

  128. I’m hoping for:

    Friday: Pixies/ The Strokes/ Muse
    Saturday: Soundgarden/ Velvet Underground/ David Bowie
    Sunday: Beastie Boys/ Faith No More/ Gorillaz

    pipe dream? i know..

  129. Hey Access Coachella,

    are the Strokes playing? That would be amazing.

  130. Jay-Z has not even sold out his Staples Center event in March of 2010. This is enough for me to hold onto something else we don’t know about yet.

  131. @Harry Painter - No, but unfortunately headliners do “sell” tickets. I’ve been goin’ to Coachella every year since 2001, and have seen it grow from about 20,000 to 60,000.

    If these indeed are the headliners, it might actually bring attendance down a little, which means more room for other stages. Your overestimating the draw of Gorillaz (as cool as that will be), they alone don’t have the drawing power of say..Paul Macca, or Prince, or Madonna, or even RATM (2007)

    Trust me, the undercard has to be brilliant, and I seriously hope it is..PAVEMENT, DEVO, THOM YORKE…ORBITAL..these will definitely make up for the lack of “star power” in the upper tiers.

  132. @devobrain - You were talking about people from around the country not wanting to come to Coachella because they’ve already seen him. Whether or not he plays LA is irrelevant to that point. I don’t think a lot of people flew across the country just to see RHCP, The Killers or Jack Johnson. But maybe for McCartney, Rage Against the Machine, Prince or Portishead.

  133. When I said “third” I meant third as in the third unknown headliner, and not necessary the order of which day they’d appear.

  134. Yeah, saw that. Still trying to confirm, but from what I understand, he’ll be the Saturday headliner.

  135. monklish.blogspot.com just caved and has settled with Jay Z as the third headliner.

  136. Does anybody remember The Strokes?

  137. ITS GONNA BE THE VELVET UNDERGROUND

  138. Nice Try,Rashaman…

  139. it’s the pixies. they’ll head over from australia.

  140. It’s not Jay - Z people…keep diggin’ :D

  141. DevoBrain- It’s likely your right but if the headliners end up being Jay-Z,Muse, and the Gorillaz that has to be the weakest group of headliners for Coachella. I’m not complaining I would love to see the Gorillaz and Muse put on a great show but still horribly unimpressive for the top of the bill. I’m still holding out hope that one of the following 3 will be a surprise out of left field add. Radiohead, Strokes, or the reunited White Stripes. Hell Jack White should play all three days.

  142. @Chris - You’ll probably be dumbfounded on how pedestrian the headliners end up being, it happens every year. It’s probably someone that will be a repeat or like a “meh” pick…the rabbit in the hat will most likely be someone in the mid tier, much like a Massive Attack (06), Daft Punk (06), Cocteau Twins (05 although it eventually never happened), and Throbbing Gristle (09).

  143. Looks like this could be a rough draft, it isn’t colored correctly yet. This would be epic, it just makes me upset I hadn’t seen it because it most likely won’t happen and now I will think of what could have been.

    http://i46.tinypic.com/27wycxz.jpg

  144. I guess they’re going with Plan B, like I had mentioned.

  145. I just don’t see Coachella putting Jay-Z out there as the third headliner. I keep thinking Paul is going to pull a rabbit out of his hat and we will all be dumbfounded. Ideas?

  146. Well I just spoke with someone at LA Times and they aren’t planning publishing anything related to Coachella tonight. So there.

  147. Just keep an eye out on this page:

    http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/coachella/

    If not tonight then tomorrow night will be almost definite. My source noted tonight’s Golden Globes coverage will have a large impact on whether they post anything at all since the entertainment industry’s eyes will be focused on that tonight into tomorrow morning.

  148. Re: Access Coachella -

    Do you mind sending me an email?

  149. Alex, it’ll likely just be a 5-10 of the more known names like Vampire Weekend and Spoon whom we’ve known to be confirmed for the most part through tour dates, but official confirmation none the less.

  150. @Harry Painter - big difference though, is those bands DID NOT play LA on their arena tours before COACHELLA.

  151. devobrain - I think you’re generally right but there are exceptions to the “destination” rule, like Muse, who has also toured everywhere this/last year. The Killers last year, Red Hot Chili Peppers in 07. I think you really only need one or two headliners that don’t tour to get people to travel.

  152. “I can 100% verify that twitter.com/coachellaleaks is completely B.S. as I am friends with the dummy that runs it. He’s doing it just to prove that he can get 1000 Twitter followers. None of us really egged him or cared, but he was pretty adamant that we were betting him that he couldn’t.”

    Hello! I run the Coachella Leaks Twitter and I don’t know you. This is complete bull. What I post is entirely accurate and I stand by my statements. You are straight up lying. Plus, I am a girl.

  153. @MRKTOV - Every year, The Glass House has “secret Coachella Shows” THis year it’s gonna be She and Him. Also, it appears that the Fox Theater is now lumped into this ( its new and it is indeed GV) and the last couple years its been the El Rey (another GV owned venue)

    Contractually for MOST bands that play Coachella, they have a clause where they cannot announce any LA show until AFTER the Coachella line up is announced.

    It’s a business decision, they’d rather get people to Coachella event first. Tons of bands end up playing around LA usually right before or right after, but the shows usually aren’t announced to much later. That’s why the JAY - Z headlining makes NO sense.

    Think about, he would have already toured most of the US for a month by then including LA a mere 3 weeks before the event.

    If Coachella wants to be a destination festival, why pick out a headliner most of the country has already seen (not to mention who headlined their last event) including 20,000 or so in LA at the staples center?

    He will not move that many tickets, which headliners are supposed to do.

  154. Re: Access Coachella,

    You want to elaborate on that a bit?

  155. SO VAMPIRE WEEKEND IS PLAYING THE GLASS HOUSE IN POMONA ON THE 14TH BUT NOT PLAYING COACHELLA? VW IS PLAYING BOTH.

  156. @M:

    Most if not all bands won’t play an LA date if they’re playing Coachella. It’s a clause in the contract they sign when they agree to play Coachella. GV wants it so the only way their fans can see them is to come to Coachella.

  157. I have an inside source who tells me you can expect to see a couple of confirmed named reported this evening in the LA Times online, but don’t expect the headliners to be revealed just yet.

  158. @devobrain

    Of course bands would play an LA date right before Coachella. It doesn’t have to be at GV venues either. Seriously get your facts straight. If a band is already in CA right before Coachella, they are more likely to attend than if they’re in some other state or out of the country. So the Ruby Suns and Toro will probably be there. As for two door cinema club, yes they will be in europe. People make mistakes though and that lineup looks legit. It has pieces from COS and Monk because COS and Monk get their info from Golden Voice. So pretty much, they get their info from that list not the other way around.

    Everybody is gonna try to debunk any leak that comes out. So it doesn’t matter if it really is a real leak. But that lineup is a lot more believable than any I have seen so far.

  159. that line up “Enjoy!” posted is bullsh*t! Two Door Cinema is in France that weekend playing a gig. The Ruby Suns and Toro also play in LA on the 14th. They wouldnt play an LA date right before Coachella unless they were playing at El Rey or Glass House (GV venues)

    Theres a few others on the list that won’t be there. They just posted Monklish list with CoS and sprinkled it with some BS.

  160. David Bowie is the suprise to go with that list from Enjoy! and we are talking a near perfect line up. I want to believe.

  161. For some odd reason tempted to believe

  162. Here is your leak guys. Not everyone is on here yet but a lot of the big ones. Enjoy!

  163. Yorke will not headline if he plays. Jay Z will though.

  164. I hope that Jay-Z or Thom Yorke do not headline. Please please pleaaaase.

  165. The fact that there are 574 comments JUST about the festival’s lineup rumors, speaks to the infinite awesomeness of Coachella. Been to Lolla a few times, have no desire to go to TN in the summer, sorry Bonnaroo, Coachella is THE US music festival…the show that Goldenvoice puts out every year never ceases to blow me away. Period. I will keep trekking out from Ohio for as long as they keep putting on Coachellas…

    Love the sight too, thanks for all your hard work.

    b

  166. Come on, we need a leak before Tuesday!

  167. ” meat on Jan 16th, 2010 at 2:24 pm

    who gives a shit”

    like 50,000 people do.

  168. who gives a shit

  169. Coachella Twitter says…

    yes, Tuesday

  170. The Who on Saturday, I’m telling you!!

  171. okay , so this is my first post on this site . I have been leaving comments on monklishs blog for 2 years , but this year is my first lurking around COS . I have to admit , COS is one step ahead of monklish . So , with that said , i will keep it simple my friends , ….. HAPPY COACHELLA !!!

  172. AGH coachella’s gonna kick so much ass this year. I’m even excited for the token female pop singer this year. Corrinne Bailey Rae! Put your Gobi on!

  173. I can’t wait for the collective internet FREAK OUT when they drop Bowie on all of you assholes. Have a nice MLK day!

  174. If KROQ has it Tuesday morning, that means it’s going to drop Monday or Monday night, which is EXACTLY what I said yesterday. So go eat yourselves.

  175. On a side note, a single ticket + camping pass, with all bullsh#t fees and charges and SEPARATE mailing fees for ticket and camping pass(!!) comes to just under $400. With that in mind, this lineup had better be mind-blowing.

  176. alex and company do a great job of compiling all this festival information.

    where’s mikey roffman lately? i miss him.

  177. lineup prolly gonna drop tue…byoi-yoi-yoing!…

  178. JJJJAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY-ZZZZZZZZZZZ Please

  179. she & him confirmed.
    they have a show at the glasshouse on the 15th.

  180. LA radio station KROQ announced they will have the lineup announcement tuesday morning

  181. Ziggy will return to Earth on 4/18/10. Those rumours from last year were true, you were all just a year early. Enjoy!

  182. Gorillaz, Muse, Jigga Man, Thom Yorke of Radiohead, Pavement, Faith No More, Beastie Boys, LCD Soundsystem

  183. Out with the old. Rap and hip hop will take their place up top as this year’s headliners.

  184. saw the gorillaz when they were at appollo theater in nyc whcih was awesome i can only expect if them playing is true its gonna be insane - i hope veryone’s dreams come true with this festival. it’s gonna blow our minds away

  185. I agree w/ willlllllllll’s last comment. A lot of people on this page are the nastiest people on COS. Why are you always swearing at each other? Oh yeah, that’s right your opinion is always correct and if you disagree with you’re a fuck head, asshole, etc, etc. Get over it and get over yourselves.

    To the guy(s) that doesn’t like confirmed, expected or rumored and give his strong opinion to Alex like a 2 year old. What web site do you run? That’s what I thought.

    Now go tell me to fuck off or something.

  186. also, Coachella guy, stop recycling names everyone already expects. If you know something, say it. Otherwise fuck off.

  187. KOL and DMB are terrible as headliners - believe me, i went to ACL this year and Pearl Jam blew them out of the water. I mean, everything else on the lineup - Them Crooked Vultures, Dead Weather, Phoenix - was all better than DMB and KOL. Plus, Roo is shit… btw.

  188. This lineup is shaping up to be stellar. Cannot wait to spend the massive amounts of cash I don’t have on going to this festival.

  189. KoL and DMB BLOW live. Have fun bumping chest with the bros at Dave!

  190. Rumor-wise, this is a weak-ass year for headliners. Muse and Gorillaz vs. KOL and DMB at Roo? FUCK THAT SHIT. Somebody better get Bowie off his ass.

  191. Personal guarantee of a few things. Lineup drops early Tuesday morning, these acts will be on the lineup. Gorillaz, Muse, Soundgarden, Grizzly Bear, Beastie Boys, Them Crooked Vultures, Orbital, LCD Soundsystem, Elvis Costello, Thom Yorke, MGMT, Vampire Weekend, Pavement, Faith No More, and Wilco. Also, Jay-Z is not headlining, neither are the Stones, the Who, or Pearl Jam. The final headliner will blow your minds, very few people on the web have even hinted at who the 3rd headliner is. Enjoy!!

  192. Alex, are the Gorillaz headliners?

  193. Is there a need for two tickets to this venue? Underestimated costs this year at school and have made one time deposit of $154.00 with a balance of 533. and change. Tickets were purchased at Ticketmaster on 12/22/09. Pleaes contact me at cdunderwood@san.rr.com if anyone knows a way to recoup the deposit. Thank you for the help.

  194. GORILLAZGORILLAZGORILLAZGORILLAZGORILLAZGORILLAZGORILLAZGORILLAZ

  195. I AM AN ESCALADE

  196. you know whats cool? writing a comment on this page giving alex young shit for taking a neat idea (compiling a list of expected/confirmed acts) a few years ago, and turning it into a major music information website, (one of the fastest growing sites of 2009). then writing a statement under a pseudonym agreeing with what you just posted.
    if your in the minority, and dont like how this website is ran, then fuck off and spend the next two weeks refreshing the coachella homepage.

  197. No you dumb fuck, it’s not.

  198. The good news is that you are going to live.

  199. if modest mouse and radiohead played i think i would die

  200. all that COS does is get “information” from other boards and news sources that are as reliable as the weather people.

    the idea of the “expected” list is a cop out. if it’s rumored, list it as rumored and link a source. if not, don’t list it.

    if the source is some random fool on a message board like those on the coachella boards, they will soon be outed as a fake.

  201. you know i don’t always agree with alex but saying he has no balls because he won’t confirm an act is just asinine. he doesn’t run coachella he is just going off of what information is provided to him. you guys are just a bunch of uptight assholes that can’t wait 2 weeks for an artist announcement.

  202. Alex Young has no balls since he ”expects” those acts at Coachella. He cannot prove that they are confirmed, since nobody will support his site. and linking to your own site as a source is not investigative journalism.

  203. tickets are already on sale you dumbass

  204. Lineup will be announced 1/21

  205. I can 100% verify that twitter.com/coachellaleaks is completely B.S. as I am friends with the dummy that runs it. He’s doing it just to prove that he can get 1000 Twitter followers. None of us really egged him or cared, but he was pretty adamant that we were betting him that he couldn’t.

  206. @insider

    Lineup ain’t coming out tonight

  207. Geezr, they wrote a fucking article about it. “Confirmed” is for band confirmations and Goldenvoice confirmations. There haven’t been any. But to keep the same format as other festivals that are more open they are right to have the empty “confirmed” list. He already answered your question, stop trying to debunk him.

  208. Lineup tonight. Tickets on sale next week.

    :D

  209. Yeah GeezrRckr, why don’t you calm your tits dude. You trying to steal my schtick of being an asshole? Well it’s not working, your argument is moot. Go spank your geezer balls to Green Day and let these guys do what they do.

  210. from twitter:
    coachellaleaks Major Lazer and the Gossip confirmed.
    about 11 hours ago from web

  211. don’t be disappointed…

  212. Calm down GeezrRckr.

    If you don’t like CoS, go somewhere else.

  213. them crooked vultures will be there

  214. i said it was the EVENT page. not the coachella fan page on facebook.

  215. ps - forgive the typos. It’s late and I’m multitasking. Don’t want anyone to attribute that to polluting the fine rep of this blog.

  216. Alex - although I appreciate the calm, informative tone of your reply, I’m not buying it. So, let me get this straight…by your logic of changing “confirmed” to “expected” so as not to piss people who complain that nothing is confirmed till a band hits the stage (which is yawn, btw) then why even have a “confirmed” section in the first place? Do you actually expect people to give a shit about this silly page once the lineup announced? Ha, that’s rich.

    There’s a reason why no other blog has cornered the market on scooping Coachella signings (with accuracy)…because the promoters keep a lid on it. What makes you think you and your motley crew are so special? Reason….you’re not.

  217. Alex I’m going to send something over to you just like I did to explain how I came across the info.

  218. GeezrRckr -

    Let me see if I can explain the deal for you. First, in regards to the rational for the change to “Expected,” this is merely a technicality that allows us to continue keeping track of lineup news without a.) burning too many contacts and future editorial possibilities and b.) pissing off readers who say nothing is confirmed until it’s actually on stage. That said, every act we list as “Expected,” we expect to be there. We are confident in what is listed.

    And to give you behind-the-scenes look, everything is double checked. That means if we get it from the board, we verify through a second source before posting. That’s why, for example, A Place to Bury Strangers isn’t listed.

    I’m hoping to get you guys more asap.

  219. Alex - just admit that you puss’d out. The new “configuration” is a pathetic attempt at CYA and we all know it. The fact that you’ve taken this approach only validates what we already knew…you guys don’t know shit! You’ve been poaching off the work of others the past two years and we called shenanigans.

    Instead of spending all your effort trying to “scoop” Coachella signings, you should put more time into finding competent writers who actually know and understand the music they’re writing about. Because, really, they all pretty much suck.

  220. I have a feeling that you’re an idiot.

  221. Randall, Got your email. ;)

  222. I have a feeling that the Blue Man Group is the 3rd headliner

  223. Major Lazer is playing San Francisco on 4/16 at Mezzanine as part of HARD SF.

  224. zipper thats not the official page. this is http://www.facebook.com/coachella

  225. Alex,
    Any idea when the lineup will be officially announced? I just chatted with the Coachella myspace page and he wouldn’t really tell me much but told me to wait on a few questions until the 2010 page went up which the date “hasn’t been announced yet.”

  226. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=238184464006&ref=ts

    here is the link to the facebook event page

  227. tom, i think that list is just from a fake coachella page. it’s no more legit than any other rumor board

  228. I think we can put Grizzly Bear in the expected field. Or at least in rumors.

  229. I don’t see that list on the Coachella Facebook. Where is it?

    Sadly, Iglu & Hartly are on that list. *sigh*

  230. so Alex, what’s the empty confirmed list for? am i right that it’s for the lineup once it’s released? Did you break any of the artists or are they all from other sources?

  231. listed on the official coachella facebook event page…

  232. can we please stick Muse on the confirmed list since they, as the band, have confirmed this themselves?

  233. randall needs another job, another lady, another beer or all three. chill

  234. Randall,

    It’s not about looking “wrong,” as everything listed in expected is checked and re-checked. While we may not have “broken” several of the artists listed, we have verified appearances by checking in with the appropriate parties. In fact, all the bands listed under expected are expected Coachella. Wouldn’t we look bad (regardless of the word) if they did not? Rest assured, the info is as accurate as ever.

  235. They just don’t want to look “wrong” when names they have up surprisingly to them don’t end up on the lineup, and then people will say this site is always right about their rumors and tell the writers “Good job!” That’s all they’re doing. It makes me sick especially since none of what they have up was actually retrieved on their own. It’s all stolen from other websites and their “independent sources” might as well just be an educated guess combined with a good healthy hunch that we all have about a certain band playing.

  236. Wow Randy, you think maybe they just changed the structure so that “confirmed” will cover the lineup once it actually drops?

  237. Nice job changing your Festival Outlook structure. It only makes sense that site that has no balls can’t commit to their own words and so-called “independent sources.” Why bother reading this anymore?

  238. Sade is big in certain circles and to a certain crowd. For example, she can easilly sell out the Hollywood Bowl in L.A. But the indie/Coachella crowd is not her usual source of fans. Nevertheless, I believe she would be extremely well received.

    The news of her April/May U.S. tour refers to it as a brief jaunt, thereby suggesting that she will be coming back later in the year for a full tour. Plus with her on the lineup, Coachella would be able to reclaim the title of Most Diverse Yet Awesome Festival.

    I can totally see her doing the Friday just after sunset slot on the main stage. If she does, she will kill it and it will be one for the books.

    And why is Orbital not listed in the rumors section? This is defintiely going to happen.

  239. i want to have james murphy’s babies.

  240. Who the fuck is “Jarrod?”

  241. @ Jan 13th, 2010 at 1:18 pm

    bullshit. Sade is too big not to headline and she’s not headlining Coachella…or is she?

  242. @ Anonymous 12:16pm

    Will you people shut up already with that stale three month old message board dribble about Japandroids going “just as fans?” It’s probably more likely they got asked to play since now and the time that rumor got started since they were one of the year’s most buzzed and acclaimed new bands. I think they got asked to play and will also attend the festival.

  243. Mr Murphy will close the Sahara! I hope! Already worried about conflicts!

  244. Sade and Orbital will be there.

  245. YES!!!! LCD SOUNDSYSTEM!!! EFF YES!!! WOOHOO! THANK GOD! HELL YEAH! J MURPH & CO. WOOO!

  246. Elvis Costello playing California dates the week before Coachella, but playing Atlantic City NJ on Friday - unlikely to come back across country to visit the polo fields?

  247. Japandroids have stated that they scheduled their tour so they could come as fans and that they weren’t invited to play.

  248. Japandroids are in Las Vegas on the 15th and Phoenix on the 19th. It’s usually a pretty good indication a band is on the bill when they’re in that hood.

  249. YAY LCD Soundsystem!!!

  250. I mean, The fantastic Ruby Suns…as an adjective.

  251. The Fantastic Ruby Suns end their tour in L.A. on April 14th. That’d be a great get.

  252. It’s CONFIRMED , LAMBO is playing!! Computer Bagel fans rejoice!

  253. thom yorke really needs to play if not radiohead.

  254. cos are whiny bitches

  255. I hope this nonsense about lady gaga performing is just that!

  256. is coldplay really going???

  257. The monklish blog is confirming Gorillaz as the Sunday headliner (read the comments).

  258. I wish though.

  259. Lineup out Thursday night.

  260. that would be a nice 1 2 combo haha if they broke out some temple

  261. i know this may sound very 1993 ish lol but if soundgarden one night was on 2nd to last with pearl jam to follow there could be this kick ass night of soundgarden’s return pearl jams finally playing coachella and a temple of the dog songs right int he middle :-) it may be old school grunge but i’m willing to say this since i think its a great idea that probably won’t happen lol

  262. 1. Jay-Z

  263. Dawber and I will be there. Go Screaming Eagles!

  264. I heard Craig T. Nelson is curating the festival this year so it can live up to the COACHella name.

    I’ll leave now.

  265. Elton John and Billy Joel
    Muse
    Gorillaz

  266. Captain Asshole… you’re one funny fucking dude!!! Thanks for the laughs.

  267. Lineup coming out soon?

  268. is bon jovi a possibility? they are goin on their “circle tour” from feb - june i believe, and there is no show scheduled for april 16th …..not that i care to see bon jovi lol just wonderin =/

  269. Grizzly bear, Bachelorette, and Washed Out also look possible since they are touring with Beach House right around Coachella weekend, and Beach House is a lock.

  270. I hear Lambo is performing Computer Bagel live !

  271. If Deerhunter is rumored, Micachu & The Shapes might as well be too since they are on the same tour with Spoon.

  272. Beach House definitely will be there.

  273. Radiohead

    Only North American show of 2010

  274. 311!

  275. The Bloody Beetroots are playing a gig with Crookers, Vitalic, Mr. Oizo and Pony Pony Run Run in France on that Saturday so all look very unlikely.

  276. Bloody beetroots might make a repeat appearance. they’re playing in SF 3 days after coachella and LA after that. I doubt they would come all the way from Italy for two shows. They tore it up last year. it’d be good to them again

  277. Citizen Cope looking quite unlikely based on touring schedule.

  278. Lineup announcement coming Monday January 18th!

    Live through this with me friends.

  279. How bout The Who??

    Seems like a Goldenvoice type of act

  280. DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE will be 4th on Coachella’s bill.

  281. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100109/music_nm/us_rae

    Add Corinne Bailey Rae to confirmed

  282. Shit just got real!!!

  283. A Roxy Music or Genesis reunion (with peter gabriel) would be amazing. Bowie to me would be ok at best, with his health the way it is and him being so old. I don’t understand the comments toward many of these classic rock bands, when you want an artists from the same decade and whose music is quite similar at Bowie in his prime.

  284. People wonder why others say that Coachella’s atmosphere and overall festivities are going down hill…Just look at the people on these forums…

  285. @somebody
    Until you realize that Alex is not the only admin on this site, you look like a fool. Realize that he took the confirmation that they said they were opening the tour with a festival. Well the only fest around the start of their tour and in the same area is coachella. You are the idiots i keep on talking about.

  286. somebody on Jan 10th, 2010 at 4:01 pm:

    hahahaha wow dude chill for real.

  287. edward sharpe!

  288. @ Alex
    You posted those hints yourselves, and your ”confirmation” of Porcupine Tree is amazing since you feel that Mexico to California isnt a stretch. I would suggest to add that to rumored. And grow some balls, half your rumored list could be on confirmed but youre such a pussy to try something out since you dont want to lose the tiny shred of credibility you think you have.

  289. @bbllllllleeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrgggg
    Thanks for proving my point :D

  290. 1. David Bowie
    2. Beastie Boys
    3. Muse
    4. Soundgarden
    5. At the Drive-In

    ur welcome

  291. @ Anonymous
    I hear ya man, i kinda figured it was maybe elaborating on my point. But as for your thoughts that it happens on all message boards. It doesn’t really. The Sasquatch Message form pretty much weeds out the bad. Admin there are on it.

  292. Oh this wasn’t just at bobby, I was just speaking out….And its not just coachella, every sites forum….I mean bonnaroo on inforoo is blowing up

  293. @willllllll
    Thanks for the support, alas I think this thread may be a lost cause. I now, know why people become frustrated on the actual Coachella boards.

  294. dear anonymous @1:32pm,
    you have COMPLETELY missed the point that bobby was trying to make.

  295. I have to throw this out there because its very frustrating..

    The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Flyod, Etc…

    How can you say they are still are around??

    The Beatles have the amazing Paul, but a douchebag drummer left.

    Led Zeppelin lost there soul with John Bonham, and John Jones doesn’t want to play anymore.

    The Who only have Roger Daltrey, guitarist Pete Townshend left.

    Pink Floyd has Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason, but Nick recently said he wants nothing to do with the band anymore.

    I mean these aren’t the “Bands” that are on the albums we play in our cars or home. And power to the ones who still play because they are so old, but I mean even Eric Clapton at his age states there no way he can play like he did when he was in the band Cream. I mean really think about. I personally rather have just Robert Plant or Rogers Waters, or whoever play solo, instead of a festival paying 3 times the amount just for an old band name.

  296. Treasure Fingers might be at Coachella this year.

    He is playing a series of West Coast dates in April leading up to Coachella.

  297. @Ken
    While you may have a point about Alex trying to regulate all the fake lineup postings, which IMO is really annoying and am totally on his side. I can see why some people may like spewing nonsense and filling their heads that “The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and Zepplin” are going to headline. Where it crosses the line with me is when people post links to “Men in shark suits doing a grotesquely fat woman doggy style on a shrimping boat” and saying that this act would definitely be a Saturday headliner. That boardelines on idiocy. Oh and the fact that there was a “message poster” trying to convince people that Jack Johnson was headlining this year. Now that’s just lunacy. Don’t get me wrong i’m all for freedom of speech, but its like the old saying goes “If you have nothing good to say, don’t say anything at all”

  298. But Alex telling finding new ways to tell people they are full of shit borders on insulting and quite frankly that is half the fun of these boards, by the way you might repost that at the Lolla discussion boards those guys get nuts every year, happy new Year Mutha fucka!!!!!

  299. I guess @willllll if we leave the Coachella comment section and posts about “All Time Low” to all the idiots then maybe we can have the rest, to have somewhat intelligent conversations.
    See how I associated Coachella people with fans of “All Time Low”? Maybe that might make some of these message posters think twice next time about typing out that Eiffle 65 will headline the Sahara tent.

  300. sometimes i feel like these message boards are slowly being taken over by idiots. i miss the old days.

  301. Everyone,

    The recent “hints” are not legit, as far as I can tell based on the commenter’s past comments. So please do not take much stock into them.

    We are fairly easy going as it relates to freedom of speech on this site, but I will have to delete comments that link to explicit websites or which are nothing more than derogatory insults. At the end of the day, this comment section is primarily for predictions and speculation.

    Thank you.
    Alex

  302. Not offended at all. Coachella is easily top 3 fests in North America. I can see it for what it is. People can talk. But its as if a bunch of dummies are coming to this board and putting up ridiculous posts. Jack Johnson headlining? Cmon. I dont need to waste my time reading that drivel. I just don’t get it. How bout trolling the internet (Pollstar, Myspace, local music ‘zines, blogs) to get the talk going. Not just come here to spew your made up obscenities.

  303. are you offended that people like coachella or something? sometimes this place is a good break from the same damn names on that board all the time. although i’m sure a lot of them are the same people.

    quick - everyone list your coachella board name.

  304. When did this turn into the main Coachella message board. Or did all you idiots get kicked off the main board for being a bunch of idiots. Seriously. Shut up, unless anyone actually has anything good to say.

  305. I think it’s safe to say that that guy was just “yanking our chains” as the kids over at the retirement home like to say. Jack Johnson won’t headline Coachella again so soon. Rest assured. But 2010 is shaping up to be pretty good so far. I hope GV doesn’t drop the ball on all the bands that need to be there that have albums coming out this year and the bands that should’ve been there last year.

  306. Whats the deal with the guy giving hints and dropping names though? Is he real? Jack Johnson is touring again..

    And yes 2008 was a great Festival year, and 2009 was pretty bad. We took our friends to one for there first time in 2009 and they were let down sad to say.

  307. no worries. Last years lineup didn’t come out till - what end of feb or early march. I remember it kept getting postponed and postponed. everyone will say it’s coming out this week it’s coming out this week. It won’t come out for a while.

  308. ummmm that is what I thought also…why does it say 2010…I could be totally wrong, I just found that site, thought I share and put together that the guy below be said Jack Johnson was a headliner.

    Sooooooorrry guys.

  309. And you should get excited. 2008 was awesome. 2004 - 2008 were the golden years. I hope 2009 was just a mis-step.

  310. Dude. I’m sorry you didn’t know. That is the 2008 lineup. I’m not trying to be rude. But that is the exact 2008 lineup

  311. DUDE go to site I linked up, its for reals!

  312. McCraft stop trying to piss people off. It’s working.

  313. The full line up includes Jack Johnson, The Verve, The Reconteurs, Fatboy Slim, Tegan & Sara, The National, The Swell Season, The Breeders, Roger Waters, Love & Rockets, My Morning Jacket, Spiritualized, Justice, Gogol Bordello, Chromeo, The Street, Metric, Portishead, Kraftwerk, Death Cab for Cutie, Cafe Tacuba, Sasha & John Digweed, Rilo Kiley, Dwight Yoakam, M.I.A., Hot Chip

    - THE SECOND HEADLINER IS A REPEAT ACT

  336. Who cares who’s playing? It’s a 4-DAY PARTY IN MY HOMETOWN…Indio, California.(Camping starts Thursday). Drop a tab or two and just have fun.

  337. You are absolutly right “Josh” the only bands that would headline over Soundgarden are the likes of Led Zepplin, Rolling Stones or maybe The Who. I myself would love to see Soundgarden as a headliner, I’m from the NW and Soundgarden was always my favorite grunge band. Beastie Boys + Muse + Sound Garden = Me going to Coachella This year.

  338. To the people that don’t think Soundgarden would headline the night they “may” play. You’re all f’n idiots. And they had a ton of hits in the 90’s, not just one. Nobody cares about The Verve, this is America. Soundgarden will headline. Read this later and realize you’re just dumb.

  339. Add Porcupine Tree to the list of confirmed

    http://www.porcupinetree.com/news.cfm

  340. Grace Muthafackin’ Jones people! Where are you on this one COS?! Confirmed.

  341. why did ‘Your friend at Capitol’ say the lineup will be released in hours??

  342. claire and the reasons are fantastic. joanna newsom would be great. and those other bands too

  343. I sure hope Sasha and Digweed do come back.

  344. Caribou
    Claire and the Reasons
    Cymbals Eat Guitars
    David Guetta
    Deadmau5
    Gaslamp Killer
    The Hacker
    Joanna Newsom
    Joker
    King Khan & the Shrines
    Matt & Kim
    Matthew Dear
    Neon Indian
    Prefuse 73
    The Ruby Suns
    Sasha and Digweed

  345. Sharon Jones has a new album and is starting to hit some festivals. She blew the tent away in 08.

  346. soundgarden = verve
    Black Hole sun < Bittersweet Symphony
    Therefore - Soundgarden = subheadliner

  347. If soundgarden plays, they will headline a night. People are failing to recognize that a band that hasnt played in 13 years, and was very popular in the 90s IS a big deal

    If Pavement plays they will be a subheadliner

    I would like to mention that if MUSE gets billed higher than these two above acts, the world really is clueless

  348. Lineup within hours!!!

  349. please shut up tom for the simple reason that you don’t know shit

  350. Shut Up Tom!

  351. the line up is looking pretty weak so far

  352. There is NO WAY, that soundgarden will Headline a night. They will be the 2nd or 3rd to last band to play, ie The Verve in 08

  353. I’m confused about why so many people are putting up hypothetical lineups with Soundgarden as a subheadliner. They’d most definitely get to headline a night–reunion acts always get higher billing than they would have in their heyday, and they were huge in the 90s. Everyone knows “Black Hole Sun.”

  354. The lineup will not come out in march or april, it wil be out in the coming weeks and at the latest, the beginning of february.

  355. surely you have something better to be doing with your time than pretending to have a girlfriend alex?

  356. the first lineup won’t be until march or april

  357. Well they changed the color of the message board, that’s usually the first step before moving to the 2010 site, which means the lineup isnt far away…

  358. These 3 add to the confirmed list:
    Beach House
    Craze & Klever
    Delorean

    About to be confirmed:
    jj
    Cornelius
    Dirty Projectors
    Gorillaz
    LCD Soundsystem
    Tegan & Sara
    Yeasayer

  359. camera obscura is scheduled to play a show in san francisco on april 21. coachella then maybe?

  360. Source?

  361. Lineup won’t be out til early February.

  362. Where are gorillaz confirmed on twitter??

  363. The odds of Led Zeppelin happening are near impossible. Still, that would make for the greatest Coachella ever.

  364. I should really be excommunicated from this site for posting such a time wasting post.

    This is what my friend Fred West told me he had read in a bathroom stall in Sheboygan. He has all the hot gossip. He watches The Hills and is really good at predicting the race of drive in window operators.

  367. a little quake on Twitter. Gorillza confirmed

  368. Pearl. Jam.

  369. sorry, looked at an old post, haha. Im getting ansy

  370. that would be about the most absurd lineup in the history of festivals, so im going to ignore it. but i like…

  371. for the person who said Pavement as a headliner on the closing night …. NO WAY Pavement will headline any night. They are not that popular. Even during their big years when they toured - they only played the Palace in Hollywood and that holds about 1000 people. They will get the same slot The Pixies got.

  372. You are an absolute fool if you think that there is any chance that the Knife will be performing an opera at Coachella.

  373. re: Little Birdy Oct 8th, 2009 at 12:33 pm

    http://theknife.net/tommorow-in-a-year-information.html?utm_source=newsletter%2B1&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=tiay%2Bannouncement

    “further performances of ‘Tomorrow, In A Year’ are confirmed to take place in Athens (8-9 Jan), Stockholm (29 Jan-1 Feb), and Munster (5 June), with further dates to be announced.”

  374. fucking ASS THATS NOT ME

  375. man. i hope britney goes..

  376. Straight outta the old keester. But I keep my head up my ass a lot of the time, so I was doing some thinking and researching while I was up in there. You are right about the Beastie Boys being a poor weekend closer though. I guess Pavement would be better, I just don’t think we’re gonna get em.

  377. So is that set list just straight out of your ass or is there some basis to it? It seems fairly reasonable although I don’t think GV would allow the Beastie Boys to close the weekend, that would be the poorest closer in Coachella history.

  378. Fri: Interpol - Soundgarden - Pearl Jam
    notables: Spoon, The National, The Avalanches, Phoenix, Basement Jaxx, Goldfrapp, St. Vincent, The Cribs, Mew, No Age
    Sat: Wilco - The Arcade Fire - Muse
    notables: Tiesto (Sahara), Massive Attack, Modest Mouse, Faith No More, Orbital, MGMT, Raekwon, Animal Collective, Bassnectar
    Sun: The Dead Weather - Gorillaz - Beastie Boys
    notables: Vampire Weekend, LCD Soundsystem, Lady Gaga (Sahara), Mos Def, Dinosaur Jr, Devo, Tegan & Sara, The Walkmen, Deadmau5, !!!, Peaches, Fever Ray

    I don’t guarantee any of this going down!

  379. Japandroids have a lil’ gap in their April schedule

  380. Best headliners ever!

    Fri - Hockey - Mayer Hawthorne - El Gran Silencio
    Sat - Aeroplane - Kevin Devine - The Big Pink
    Sun - Kraze and Klever - Zoe - As Tall as Lions

  381. Franz subheadlined last year on the same album. Why in the hell would they be back?

  382. Lineup next week! Alanis is playing!

    *delete*

  383. http://www.nme.com/news/the-rolling-stones/49080

    Are they out or are they just putting everyone on until a final definitive announcement?

    Sounds to me like headliners are Muse. Beasties. Gorillaz

  384. Franz Ferdinand is playing on April in Mexico city, so i guess the’ll be also at Coachella, right??

  385. Just WAIT until YOU drink BEERS and BRO out TO widespread PANIC at BONNAROO!

  386. I can confirm that the lineup below is in the works and everything but signed. It’s look good, though. Hope to see everyone at this year’s festival!

    -PT

  387. We did it. We did it guys. We cracked the Coachella code weeks before the lineup was announced. Thanks Little Birdy!

  388. God you guys are gullible

  389. muse and beastie boys, unfortunately, ARE bigger than Daft Punk and Gorillaz - to the rest of the world that doesnt view this website

  390. every comment on CoS = 200 posts on the Coachella board

  391. Daft Punk isn’t playing, so Little Birdy told you wrong.

  392. There is no way that Little Birdy could be right…or no way that would be the order of performers. Gorillaz and Daft Punk are bigger than Muse or Beastie Boys. This lineup would be epic, but the only place it would take place is in my dreams

  393. Little Birdy, please be right

  394. Re: Little Birdy,

    Why don’t you give me an email? info@consequenceofsound.net

  395. Muse
    Beastie Boys
    Rolling Stones

    Soundgarden
    Gorillaz
    Pavement
    Public Image Ltd.
    Massive Attack
    Interpol

    LCD Soundsystem
    Daft Punk
    Orbital

  396. Fagruary 29-31

  397. Does anyone know the dates of Gaychella 2010?

  398. I really really hope Disco Nesi is right, that would be beautiful.

  399. Gorillaz stage will be the most elaborate stage ever: completely invisible and soundless with Muse performing during their entire set.

  400. DOES CAPTAIN ASSHOLE LIVE IN HIS MOM’S BASEMENT?

  401. Disco Nesi, I think your best bet is to hold tight and let whatever happens happen. We should be pretty thankful this year that we have such a large variety of headliners and subheadliners in the running. Remember last year when barely anybody wanted to tour because of the economy or just wasn’t touring so they could work on new material? This year, I think whatever combination ends up on the poster will be satisfying.

  402. So with Soundgarden officially reuniting, does that mean we will have an evening with Soundgarden opening for a headlining Pearl Jam? If the Stones are still in the running maybe that bumps Muse to a subheadliner the night of the Stones, and then Gorillaz as the final headliner with a Strokes opener? Or is that just absurdly optimistic hope?
    That would be arguably the best lineup in Coachella history, especially if Orbital and Lcd Soundsystem are headlining Sahara two of the nights.

  403. Gorillaz will have the most elaborate stage production in Coachella history.

  404. the Magnetic Fields will never play a big festival because of Meritt’s hearing problems

  405. Those are 2009 dates on their site.

  406. beirut is confirmed for coachella 2010 on the 17th (via beirutband.com)

    yo dawg beiruts hella dope.

  407. I love love love !!!, but have they replaced their drummer?

  408. I hope Don’t Call Me Dante is right about those because a lot of those names are bands I’d actually want to see unlike the bands up top of this page which I have no interest in seeing.

  409. the Magnetic Fields, !!!, Girls, Converge, Iglu & Hartley, Moderat, Neko Case, and Fuck Buttons are all confirmed

  410. I was in the Coachella chat room last night between 11:30pm and 12:30am (I’m lame and don’t have anything else better to do on New Years Eve…) and somebody popped in under the username “Cornwall” saying Soundgarden would be playing Coachella. I wish I had a screen grab of it and it might just be someone playing around but maybe there’s something to it.

  411. I’d rather have GV spend their $$$ on all of the above. Soundgarden opening for the Stones would be Epic for Sunday night. Gorillaz would be a killer saturday night as well.

  412. I saw Soundgarden twice in the 90s and they were very good. Having said that I would rather see goldenvoice spend their money on booking The Gorillaz and The Stones than see Soundgarden again.

  413. When were they closed? ;)

  414. Reopen the rumors; Soundgarden is reuniting

  415. Yeah, the lips have been touting the exact same live show for 6 years now, and the last time they were at Coach, they only played five songs…one of which was Happy Birthday.

  416. to nevermoveinwithyourgirlfriend,

    Look I love the Flaming Lips but unless they actually decide to play more than 3 songs off their new album they aren’t exactly an amazing get for a festival they’ve kind of been doing the same thing for awhile now and until I see that set list start to change I’m probably not going to go see them for a 6th time.

  417. stones…. hell yeah

  418. If the Flaming Lips are playing Lolla, it looks like it’s shaping up to be another year where Bonaroo and Lollapalooza have better lineups. Just sayin…Coachella better get it together this year cuz 09 sucked.

  419. soundgarden isn’t confirmed. they have been offered coachella and bonnaroo but haven’t said yes to either. they may not even be touring at all.

  420. Yeah dude, learn how to form a sentence for christ’s sake. You just spit off like 6 random statements, each completely unrelated to each other.

  421. what the hell are you talking about lou?

  422. if the rolling stones are in.. wow magical… you go to any real market and us ignorant people wont know who the hell the other people are. its a fact the top 6 names gets 70 percent of our money..its our money guys ….its just one of those things

  423. broadcast would be sweet

  424. The rest of the headliners and subheadliners are now signed on and confirmed. They are, and I quote, “The Beastie Boys, Massive Attack, Gorillaz, Pavement, Modest Mouse, Orbital, Basement Jaxx, The Strokes, The Roots, LCD Soundsystem.”

  425. http://newsroom.mtv.com/2009/12/14/coachella-lineup-pavement/

    MTV thinks My Chemical Romance is going to headline Coachella.

    lol

  426. Only an idiot thinks RHCP will actually play next year.

  427. That is so stupid it doesn’t even deserve a response, the Gorillaz and Beastie Boys opening for RHCP…

  429. #2 is not Bowie, peons. Bowie is not quirky.

  430. #3 grandaddy!

  431. Some names I heard floating around my office were Burial, Sigur Ros, Mos Def, Joanna Newsom and Broadcast.

  432. was at the c3 x-mas party in austin and when i asked charles about coachella he just said that from what he’s heard it’s going to be the best one yet. he wouldnt tell me which bands tho. :/

  433. Everyone is a liar but me. See you at Blur!

  434. 715 is not me but rather Halle Balle version of Catwoman.

  435. 316 is not me, but is actually the Z-list villain Cluemaster.

    Bowie? He is never going to play this fest, or anywhere ever again. Guess again.

  436. So David Bowie is really playing? I don’t buy it.

  437. too easy

    1 grizzly bear
    2 pains of being pure at heart
    3 santigold
    4 drake

  438. 1. grizzly bear
    2. young hearts
    3. lady gag
    4. lil wayne

  439. OK, I MAY HAVE UNDERESTIMATED THE POWER OF YOUR INTELLECT, COACHELLIANS! Alas, here are a few more brain busters that may fill in the puzzle pieces if you’re keen enough to figure them out!
    1) Coachella may take place in the desert, but the festival will be inspired by a Massachusetts island when this band takes the stage
    2) it really does hurt when your blood pumping organ’s innocent and young
    3) a change in vowels in this lead lady’s name might be enough to rinse Coachella’s mouth out after the past two MIA debacles
    4) while weezy’s behind bars, this former teen star will be bringing in the dough for Cash Money

  440. 4. Wilco

  441. 2. Atlas Sound

    2. David Bowie

    8. Sunny Day Real Estate
    9. She & Him
    10. Boy 8-Bit
    11. La Roux
    12. Scott Walker

  443. 1. The Rolling Stones
    2. David Bowie
    3. MGMT

    8. Sunny Day Real Estate
    9. She & Him
    10. 8-Bit
    11. La Roux
    12. Scott Walker

  444. Be weary or wary, Alex? To be honest, I’m both about this time of year. Bring on the real lineup!!!

  445. Riddler, is this the same game that has Jack Johnson for Sasquatch!?

    Be wary, folks. ;)

  446. @535, ssssssooooorrrrrrryyyyy but 2, 4 and 10 are incorrect. Muse and Hot Chip will be there, but they are too obvious to be part of this game.

    @451’s got it!

  447. 1. The Rolling Stones
    2. Gorillaz
    3. MGMT
    4. Muse

  448. is 4 Orbital bc of Satan?

  449. #2 - David Bowie, Ziggy Stardust!!!!!!!!

  450. #1 - U2?

  451. 8** sounds like Sunny Day Real Estate.

  452. 8) sounds like Sunny Day Real Estate.

  453. 1. The Rolling Stones?
    3. Arcade Fire? Gorillaz? (if its either of those i highly disagree with you lol)
    6. Spoon?
    7. The Knife?
    9. She & Him?
    10. Chewy Chocolate Cookies?

  454. RIDDLE ME THIS, COACHELLIANS! Only a superior intellect such as mine can bring you the big news about Coachella, but you have to earn it!
    1) wild horses couldn’t take you away from this set
    2) it takes more than quirkiness for this artist to pull off an alter ego successfully
    3) despite it actually being their third album, this band is destined for the “sophomore slump”
    4) if the song had been on the Battlefield Earth soundtrack, would it go “Xenu, Xenu, Xenu!”?
    5) when it comes to acts playing the Outdoor Theatre, Paul T doesn’t shut down the mainstage for no ordinary act
    6) silverware of the not-so-sharp variety
    7) these Swedes may not be a piece of cutlery, but their perfectly trippy pop will enthrall the crowd
    8) for once, the token emo band has indie cred
    9) if you thought you saw her face at the cinema and his face on the Outdoor Theatre, you’re right
    10) chipster electro lives on, sadly
    11) faux-hawks live on, sadly
    12) there’s an offer no man can refuse, except perhaps a 30th century man

  455. maldita vecindad y los hijos del quinto patio —> coachella

    https://twitter.com/MalditaVecindad/status/5270696052

    ache!

  456. Actually, I’m pretty sure someone asked them backstage and they said yes, they are playing.

  457. So, you added Mew because they announced 3 overseas dates in late May following their tour of Japan in late February? Wouldn’t that make another trip to the states for Coachella LESS likely?

  458. no soundgarden???

    noooooooooooo

  459. Krist Novoselic says no Soundgarden at Coachella 2010
    http://blogs.seattleweekly.com/daily…r_of_bad_n.php

  460. passion pit confirmed.

  461. mid-late january.

  462. When does GoldenVoice usually make the lineup announcement?

  463. For the record, Muse plays arenas, while Massive Attack plays theaters.

  464. i heard blink 182 is the headliner

  465. Massive Attack and FNM opening for Muse is the stupidest prediction ever.

  466. Gaping asshole? Sounds like wishful thinking there buddy.

  467. MUSE
    MASSIVE ATTACK FAITH NO MORE

    GORILLAZ
    ARCADE FIRE PUBLIC IMAGE LTD

    ROLLING STONES
    SOUNDGARDEN THEM CROOKED VULTURES

  468. Captain asshole… please get taken out of context one more time, insulted and ridiculed, all for asking when a band got famous. Then post the most well composed, articulate, not to mention the funniest fuckin’ comments on CoC I think I have ever read! I can’t agree with everything you said but, that’s just like, your opinion man. On a positive note, someone should pound a beer up muse’s gaping asshole! Fuck them…

    Ummmm… were afraid the Boss wasn’t gonna give your dick back? hilarious shit!

  469. Alec Empire will be there. US tour will conclude with Coachella.

  470. Oh yeah i keep seeing Soundgarden creep into rumors, where are we getting this from and is there a reunion rumor picking up steam?

  471. I like Jam Bands and Love Govt, I like the Indy Scene and modern rock, I’ve seen Muse open up for U2 and at a festival, thought they were cool both times, I love drinking 50 beers and finger banging girls. Festivals rule, getting shitty, seeing bands you like, seeing new bands, making out with some pig that was throwing up a 6$ hot dog an hour before, its all awesome!!!!!

  472. PIL sucks.

  473. Marco Collins is tweeting that Soundgarden is reuniting at Coachella. Take it FWIW

  474. PIL would be a great addition. i saw them a few times in the late 80’s and the shows were great.

  475. Captain Asshole is the funnest thing about this blog.

  476. http://thescenestar.typepad.com/ss/2009/12/coachella-valley-music-arts-festival-2010-lineup-rumors.html#more

    This article claims Public Image Ltd., Gorillaz and Beastie Boys are confirmed.

    Also Puscifer tour dates suggest a possible appearance.

  477. Captain Asshole, you have been demoted from posting psychotic tl;dr rands to latrine duty! Do I make myself clear?!

  478. You know what guys? When I’m wrong, I’m wrong. I can be a big man sometimes. I know that I have said some hurtful things, but you have to know that I don’t really mean to focus such negativity on you all. It’s hard sometimes being unemployed and having to hope for a better future. It’s easier to jump online and take my frustrations out on anonymous names. I can’t yell at family. That wouldn’t be right. I want to yell at my boss, but I am no longer allowed back at the plant. It’s just hard sometimes.

  479. amazing lineup! i have yet to go to coachella and i do want to go so damn bad! thats the only festival i am DYING to see..the other festival lineups are ok..but they dont have that many good lineups..my opinion..i hope one day i get to bask in the coachella valley and check out some amazing music there! til then coachella keep up with the amazing lineups!

  480. i love tough guy internet personas

  481. Captain Asshole go fuck yourself in the ass!!!! Because Bannaroo can go suck my fucking nuts everyone know Coachella is way better, the people are better, the music is better, the lights and lasers are better, and overall its a better fucking experience than your Country/rock festival Bannaroo. Where’s the electronica, im sorry u guys don’t have that there in Tennessee so go fuck yourselves. And btw this is a Coachella forum so get the fuck off and stop making posts if they aren’t Coachella positive related. And my last word is fuck Bannaroo, Coachella is way better and everyone on here knows it too!!! Go fuck yourself Captain Asshole because like your name says u really are an asshole!!!

  482. im gonna laugh so hard if muse headlines bonnaroo

  483. Captain Asshole on Dec 17th, 2009 at 2:43 pm

    I want to pound some brews as brahs pound my gaping asshole.

    —————————————————————-

    Dooooood, ya wicked fahkin funny doooooood.

    Have fun spending $269 to go see Muse and being able to tell people that you’re going to Coachella over the next 4 months, in hopes they like you a little bit more. What a geek! Because if you’re telling fuckin amateur jokes like that, you’re blatantly a loser and you probably have no friends and you definitely wear braces or have some visual feature that people just straight up don’t like you for.

    Maybe it’s the fact that you’re just throwing around phrases such as “gaping assholes,” on a regular basis. Who knows. But either way, I don’t really have time to listen to your petty remarks. Pussy.

    Disco Nesi, I respect the comments you made. But I do have to disagree with you a little bit. Granted, they still have jambands, it’s not the main focal point. Phish played 2 nights because they’re Phish and they helped get Bonnaroo started in the first place. So when they come back from a long-ass hiatus, of course they’re going to get the treatment. And although they “headlined” 2 nights, they played after the Beastie Boys headlining set on Friday night of last year.

    As for the aging rockers, I was hesitant on Springsteen last year because I hated the guy…until he blew my fuckin dick off, caught it in the air, kissed it, and threw it back to me — all while fist pumping and ripping guitar solo at the same time. Guy completely changed my point of view on him, he was ridiculous.

    Regarding the statement that Bonnaroo isn’t aimed at finding new music, that certainly might not be their forte, but they still have new acts there. Plus, Bonnaroo is all about bringing the legends. When I can see an up-and-coming act for $10 at a local club, I’ll catch them then. I’m paying the big bucks to see weird ass combos like Willie Nelson, Les Claypool and Chuck D share the stage, even if it sounds shitty.

    **NOTE** This combo of artists didn’t actually happen, it’s a hypothetical statement. I’d like to get that out there before anymore little nifkins out there decide to start calling me out with their ridiculous statements and accusations.

    As for the guy who said that Bonnaroo reminds him of a festival MTV would run, was that intended to be a joke, or do you really think that? Because I can totally see your point, seeing as though MTV plays shows like The Hills, Real World, Teen Mom and Jersey Shore. Which, you know, is totally like Bonnaroo. Fuckin idiot. Pull your head out of your ass guy and get with the program. If you’re serious about that, then Coachella is like they took every buzz-band from Pitchfork over the past year and put them in the sweaty ass desert. Which is actually tremendously accurate. But then, to make sure you’ll get the credit, you guys get some band that’s reuniting or a kind of publicity act to headline a night or two. By my math, right now, you guys are looking at Simon and Garfunkel, Amy Winehouse and Muse. SIIIIIICK!

    …NOOOOOOOT!

    But seriously, both Coachella and Bonnaroo have their pros and cons and they both have solid lineups each year. If I could go to both, I would. But I can’t. Plus, a few of you goons were saying I don’t belong at Coachella, which is cool with me. Cause I’d probably pound you if I saw you, just for being that big of pussies.

  484. muse is defintely headlining

  485. I knew it Cpt. Asshole. I knew it.

  486. I want to pound some brews as brahs pound my gaping asshole.

  487. Captain Asshole, you have the perfect name because you’ve been one on almost every one of your posts, but hot damn! do your responses crack me up, and I salute you for holding your own in this cruel hipster bullshit, i have only been to Coachella twice and plan on going again this year, so my goal is to make it to other festivals in my lifetime like Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Sasquatch, Lollapalooza, etc.

  488. Roo is great. Coachella is great. To each his own. Nobody likes all the same music/acts. Captain Asshole: Stop being a douche.

  489. Bonnaroo reminds me of a festival MTV would run.

  490. So I don’t wanna slam on Roo but honestly, I had absolutley no interest in seeing the Boss last year. Oh and wasn’t Snoop there, is it 1995 or 2009? Roo does put together nice lineups but they are aimed at a crowd that doesn’t really go out and find new music, its aimed at a crowd that has it spoon fed to them or they stumbled upon it a few years too late. And it is still aimed at jam bands, phish headlining 2 nights. I would have wanted to see one night of headlining bands, Phish once, last year at Roo.

    Coachella consistently finds up and comming bands and gets them extended exposure. Sure they have had their share of rehashing headliners, Tool, RHCP, and Rage. I will also give you that Killers were a weak headliner last year and Muse is not the most impressive name but go check out their Helsinki Finland 10/22/09 show on youtube, they put on a fuckin riot of a live show. Lat point, who has gotten epic performers the last 2 years, Sir Paul, Roger Waters, Prince, and the Cure.

    The festivals are different. You don’t really drink if you go to Coachella, which makes the vibe even better. I don’t have to deal with drunks yelling and talking during shows. People are laid back. And as far as women are concerned, if you don’t like california girls, you my friends are crazy.

    Hopeful headliners 2010: Bowie, Gorillaz, Rolling Stones (bumping Muse to subheadliner)
    Peace

  491. Captain Asshole on Dec 16th, 2009 at 10:57 pm

    The thing I like best about Roo is the PENIS i SUCK every YEAR.
    —————————————————————-

    Beat it kid, that was the shittiest joke I’ve ever heard. I like how you’re kind of capitalizing a few words and letters here and there too you clown. DiD U jUsT fInIsH S8ing AnD NoW YoU’rE gUnA ChAt oN AiM?

  492. So still can’t name one relevant Roo band? Gotcha.

  493. Look “dude,” I don’t even know that the fuck buddyhead is, and I certainly as shit don’t know — or respect — anyone with the first name of Travis. So ease up on your blind accusations. I’m not going from blog to blog trying to be a fucking message board bandito or anything. This site’s just got sick topics and a sick crowd to debate with. It’s a healthy, eco-friendly, symbiotic relationship we have here. So go make another ghetto bong with your stepfather’s dildo and then watch some snowboarding videos while you listen to Travis, you burnout douchebag.

    “Bro” — who I’m guessing is “Dude’s” much cooler alter-ego — thank you.

    Anonymous kid who loves Coachella: Let’s not try to keep score here big guy, we know who’s played what and when and what it sounded like and blah blah blah blah.

    The fact of the matter is, Coachells has been left in the dust by Bonnaroo at this point, Bonnaroo has just flat-out stepped it up more. Coachella is definitely still solid and would be a great time, there’s just a smidge too much bullshit like Red Hot Chilli Peppers and The Killers that aren’t doing it for me anymore. And who knows, they might come back swinging again this year and have a much better lineup than Bonnaroo. But I’m gonna put my chips on the hippies in Tenn who know how to throw a fucking party.

    And just a quick FYI, this conversation simply started off by me just commenting on how Muse somehow became RUSH circa ‘78 over the past 3 months. I was literally just trying to figure out the transition period of when this occured and then people started randomly calling me out about Coldplay and some other weird shit like that. Well fuck guys, I didn’t know Muse was such a touchy subject around you folks. But when you’re all still blown away by the pretentious, completely outlandish, over-the-top and borderline embarrassing performance that Arcade Fire put on back at Coachella 2005, I would expect nothing less.

  494. The thing I like best about Roo is the PENIS i SUCK every YEAR.

  495. Though Captain Asshole has a point. Muse fucking suck. But the truth is I usually don’t go to coachella for the headliners, i go for the other bands. Ween should fucking play Coachella this year.

  496. Captain Asshole is some dude on the buddyhead website who apparently has co-opted travis keller’s lingo and thinks it’s still cool or even remotely relevant to mention that you’re going to be “finger-blasting” “babes” (i had to put those in separate quotes because his definition of babes are probably chicks who think the most relevant fucking thing under the sun is the new devendra banhart. Boring. Boring. Boring.

  497. Daft Punk appearances at Coach 1. Daft Punk appearances at Roo 0.
    Coach 1 Roo 0

    Radiohead played Coach before Roo.
    Coach 2 Roo 0

    2 Arcade Fire performances at Coach, how many at Roo?
    Coah 3 Roo 0

    Again what are these relevant bands you speak of at Roo that don’t play at Coach?

  498. Hopefully you chumps don’t go to Bonnaroo, it will be a lot cooler without you dinks.

    As for the queef who’s referencing jam bands such a MOE and Gov’t Mule, get your nerdy head out of your ass you geek. Bands like that still might play a show here and there during Bonnaroo, but they’re basically an afterthought when it comes to the rest of the lineup.

    You can have Arcade Fire and Underworld — we’ll take Radiohead and Daft Punk. And then we’ll probably take Arcade Fire too, so go fuck yourself. Hopefully they only play shit from Funeral because Neon Bible was one of the biggest sophomoric let-downs of our time.

    And I will gladly take GnR at Bonnaroo, are you shitting me? Jesus dude, stop contradicting yourself, that would be fucking awesome. You pickles at Coachella will probably get an STP reunion or something shitty like that. And while I’m watching GnR, I WILL drink BEERS with my BROS. Cause that’s FUN to DO. Maybe I’ll also take some EXCSTACY too and make fun of GEEKS like you.

  499. Captain Asshole is the best argument against going to Bonnaroo I’ve ever seen

    YAH go and hang with some totally awesome BROS and pound some BEERS

  500. Hey everyone, Captain Asshole is gonna fingerbang some babes while Guns N Roses rocks the main stage at Bonnaroo! Maybe he’ll get to fingerbang some during Govt Mule, OAR, or the Who too! Honestly if it were up to me, if I’m gonna fingerbang some babes, I’d rather have Underworld or Arcade Fire, so thank you Coachella!

  501. Captain Asshole please tell me what a “relevant” band is in your book.

  502. I’m sorry for all other Roo goers that you are one of them.

  503. Easy bro, Coachella isn’t even on my radar. I’m a Bonnaroo guy myself, and Coachella doesn’t even hold a flame to that shit. Have fun making out with dudes to lame ass shit like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and sweating your shitty ass off with Muse as your headliner you fucking cockhole.

    Meanwhile, I’ll be taking mushrooms, smoking weed, finger-blasting babes and drinking 50 beers per day, whilst watching much superior and relevant bands absolutely rip. it. the. fuck. up.

    So yeah, basically long story short, why don’t you just go finger yourself to The Killers or some other shitty Coachella-esque band you pathetic loser.

  504. Hey Asshole - you really are the captain of ass. go back to the coldplay board and hold court. your ignorance isn’t welcome anywhere near anything coachella. you’re not worthy.

  505. Muse has played stadiums and festivals worldwide for years.

  506. When the shit did Muse become big enough to play arenas and headline huge music festivals? I’m not saying they’re a horrible band or anything, but when exactly did this transition happen? Last I checked, they were your standard run-of-the-mill band trying to rip off Radiohead and were being played on the radio once every 3 hours.

    They’ve put out like 3 albums or something, each of them being received to fair reviews and now they’ve somehow transcended into fucking Springsteen-like shows and events. Seriously, when did this happen?

  507. As far I know, Muse is signed on to headline. Could that change? I suppose. I think Beasties would be a subheadliner. I don’t really by the Stones talk, but that would open a whole different slew of possibilities.

  508. Hi Alex, I wrote in about the Muse subheadliner question and I guess I wasn’t clear enough about what I meant. My question was more like, “Do you think there is a slight possibility they may be bumped down to subheadlining amid new speculation about The Rolling Stones, Gorillaz, Beastie Boys and Pearl Jam?” A lot of times I read articles where the lineup is announced and it reads that a band is “headlining” but actually they’re just really high on the poster for a certain day, and maybe this could be the case here. Thank you!

  509. NOOO….!!! TIESTO AGAIN?….THAT WAS BY FAR THE WORST THING I SAW IN ‘07

  510. you are all liars, the Grateful Dead is playing a 3-day set

  511. Yeasayer will be there for sure. Look at their tour dates.

  512. My Morning Jacket WILL be there.

  513. We never said Muse was a subheadliner. That was an inaccurate rumored based on a fake alias.

    Thom Yorke rumor was removed because the evidence wasn’t much. Let’s hope we can add it back up soon though!

  514. What happened to Thom Yorke?

  515. Muse better not headline…

  516. Hi COS what’s this about Muse possibly being bumped down to a subheadliner?

  517. Hot Chip, MGMT, Tegan and Sara, and now My Morning Jacket? Why rehash all the shite acts from 2008 instead of the brilliant ones? Or any at all?

  518. Well My Morning Jacket was just confirmed to play New Orleans Jazz Festival April 23-25. I have heard from a few inside sources that they will also be at Coachella, not sure if they’re going to be a headliner or sub-headliner though; most likely sub-headliner I’d say.

  519. DUDE

  520. Dude, you should believe anything you read on buddyhead.

  521. Got my tickets this morning!!!! Oh my god COACHELLA!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait for the lineup announcement. This is going to make for some very unproductive behavior at work.

  522. So why was Thom Yorke silently removed?

  523. This year, really want to see:

    daft punk
    pearl jam
    pendulum (live act)
    ASG

  524. I would give my left nut to hear live “M1-A1″, especially as an opener.

  525. I read on BuddyHead that The Rolling Stones might be playing:

    http://www.buddyhead.com/category/gossip-home/

  526. Gorillaz! Now that would be baller.

  527. RX BANDITS!!!!!! and JACKS MANNEQUIN!RX BANDITS!!!!!! and JACKS MANNEQUIN!

  528. what gorillaz? THAT WOULD BE SICK!

  529. Oh and it’s now RUMORED Gorillaz may be headlining…

    http://gorillaz-news.livejournal.com/272311.html

  530. Ross -

    Coachella usually takes its time with announcements. Rest assured though, those are the correct dates. The lineup should be out in late January.

  531. Hi Consequence of Sound, do you know why the dates have not been officially announced yet by promoters? Is there anything to that or is there nothing to worry about?

  532. Monklish and Suprefan to perform Two Fedoras, One Cup

  533. Where is the link to prove you told us all last year? Not flaming, just asking?

  534. @ anon 12/10 12:18

    Just letting you kids know what’s going on..just like I did last year.

    Bowie, Arcade Fire and Smashing Pumpkins will all be on the poster.

  535. The headliners are going to be The Rolling Stones performing “Voodoo Lounge” and Jerry Lee Lewis hitting a piano for 4 hours. That’s only Friday, too.

    That’s what I heard. ::shrugs::

    :p

  536. GWAR

  537. Jessica Simpson eating country fried bacon to headline Coachella

  538. LA Jay - nobody is going to believe that, why did you bother posting it?

  539. Def Need Orbital there

  540. ugh. the pumpkins were so incredibly awful when i saw them in chicago last year… one of the worst shows ive ever seen. and ive seen my fair share of awful shows

  541. Bowie has agreed to play Coachella but only if the Arcade Fire also headline a night. I don’t know who plays which night.

    also, here’s the deal with Smashing Pumpkins..Billy wants to headline but will accept subbing for Bowie. so there you go…

  542. Roffman, I stand by that!!!

    I’ve seen the Smashing Pumpkins several times spanning their career over the past 20 years and have always walked away disappointed and underwhelmed or pissed that Billy slaughtered his songs. It’s got nothing to do with set lists or being a “perfectionist”, cos’ he sure hasn’t been at the shows I’ve seen.

  543. the pumpkins are awful live.>>>

    Absolutely wrong, debaser. They might not play the songs you wanted, but Billy’s a fucking perfectionist when it comes to his music, and as a result, it’s a solid show. Now if you want to argue that it’s not the actual band, that’s one thing…

  544. pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease

  545. hey arggg, they weren’t that great live in 94 never mind on the last tour.
    they’ve gotten worse and worse over the years. the last show i saw was fucking terrible, every song was played far too fast and everyone was just looking around going WTF???

  546. Wrong.

    I saw them perform 2 years ago (also saw them in 1996). They are a shell of what they use to be.

  547. Saw the Smashing Pumpkins for the 20th Annaversary show in LA. They were amazing. I hope you are not speaking out of your a$$, because while Billy is a prick, this was the best show i have seen them play since 1994. Face it Billy was always the Pumpkins. Bring them on and go see your hipster here today, gone tomorrow headliner at the Sahara.

  548. Have you seen the Smashing Pumpkins perform recently? Horrible live show. I wouldn’t even want them to perform as a subheadliner.

    I guess they could play in the parking lot.

  549. the pumpkins are awful live. there are so many other bands out there that are worthy of prime slot at coachella.

    goldenvoice, please don’t book billy and his backing band.

  550. If the Pumpkins play, they’d better NOT headline. Although the lineup from like a decade ago was one of my favorite bands, seeing the Billy Corgan Experience as a Coachella headliner would be like watching Dewey Cox make a big Stagecoach comeback. Pumpkins should play, just not headline.

  551. Pavement and the Smashing Pumpkins at the same festival? that would be kinda funny to be completely honest.

    You know, since they hated each other and everything.

  552. @Anonymous

    Nope, not me. I stick to CoS.

  553. Alex - did you post on the Coachella Message Boards about Muse being a sub?

  554. The Big Pink confirmed on their Myspace.

  555. Arcade Fire

    MGMT/Them Crooked Vultures/David Guetta/Sunny Day Real Estate/Deadmau5

  559. Monklish and Suprefan will finally admit their love and have a wedding on-stage.

  560. Neko Case

  561. “note: Gui Boratto is in LA April 10th”

    Note: he’s in New York April 17th and he played last year.

    He’s not playing Coachella.

  562. Phoenix: an average band gets huge. Indie is no different than the mainstream when it comes to the lowest common denominator acts making it big.

  563. i have nothing wrong with Phoenix being that band, better to see them at a giant festival than having to pay like $40 for their own concerts…i love em but their concerts should be much cheaper

  564. Looks like Phoenix is this year’s festival whore/ all the rage.

  565. Thom Yorke?

  566. note: Gui Boratto is in LA April 10th

  567. Can you add Delorean to this? They’re touring with miike snow and will therefore be in San Fran on the 15th.

    http://www.windishagency.com/artists/delorean

  568. down with the big pink!

  569. Save some sloppy seconds for me.

  570. lets all drop acid and watch the Deftones play “Change” at the outdoor theater and have a life changing experience…..this is all hypothetical

  571. please consider the spokky jones band as a possible venue, they play rock funk and soul they are the band of the year…….. check them out spookyjones.com

  572. Why cannot LCD Soundsystem be considered a rumor yet?

  573. Supergroups suck, Bright Eyes sucks, My Morning Jacket sucks; therefore Monsters of Folk suck.

  574. Why would you want to watch monsters of folk? you can nap at home for free.

  575. Conor Oberst is some form?? Maybe the final Bright Eyes tour?? Or Monsters of Folk? Just a guess but he said the final bright eyes tour will be in 2010

  576. I wonder if we are getting The Strokes.

  577. Arcade Fire will not be playing, liar. Neil Young will headline and The Killers are playing the Sahara.

  578. Following today’s news about Arcade Fire, if anyone wants to apologize now for laughing off this comment I made:

    http://consequenceofsound.net/festival-outlook/coachella-valley-music-and-arts-festival/#comment-71505

    …be my guest.

  579. Can’t you use your “sources” to find out why there hasn’t been an official date announcement yet?

  580. Henry Rollins at Coachella again? He just announced a whole North American tour that ends in April with no Los Angeles date!

  581. Arcade Fire and Pavement are co-headlining a day.

  582. @10:09pm, you are a liar. Only my rumors are correct.

  583. Muse, Rolling Stones and Arcade Fire

  584. Coachella is an amazign experience. Everyone is there for the same reason. The Love of Music. And that makes the collective conscious of this event overwhelming. Spread the the love and good vibrations to the world.

  585. Idiot. If you’re going to produce a fake poster, you need to do some more research.

  586. The lineup has leaked. Arcade Fire, Daft Punk, White Stripes headlining, bitches!
    http://i35.tinypic.com/2igzmth.jpg

  587. My butt itches.

  588. Right because the interview CoS did with Spiral Stairs didn’t pretty much confirm they’d be playing in Indio first, which DOES justify whatever they’re asking for…

  589. Pavement is not performing after all. They demanded too much money and are playing too many other festivals to justify their price.

  590. Were?

  591. COS just emailed me and told me that you were retarded.

  592. Consequence of Sound just emailed me and said that they will be posting at 3pm PST that Patrick Swayze is headlining!

  593. want sum acid?

  594. YOU ARE STILL ANNOYING TOOL, regardless of the gramatical error.

  595. I love it when people call others idiots. Read what you posted, morons. You both spelled “you’re” wrong.

  596. The Smiths are playing!

  597. Which monklish is the one whom deals drugs to all the boardies?

  598. I would agree regarding Monklish. You are everywhere on the Coachella boards and now your are invading COS! And not everywhere in a good way, you talk so much shit and such an IDIOT. Maybe, just maybe you should find a f’in hobby, you annoying fool.

  599. Little Dragon is playing.

  600. Sweet Hot Chip!!!! and whoever Monklish is…who cares…stop wasting Blog space…..I see your name on every article talking about yourself…shutup please…waste your time doing something else like call of duty or something…your annoying

  601. That blogger account “monklish” is another impostor.

  602. I love when the moderators get so testy on this website if you say anything negative to them.

  603. Lord Xenu is confirmed.

  604. considering the xx are toruing with hit chip, who are confirmed. it’s a pretty good chance that they’d also be on the bill. plus they are flavour of the week.

  605. @in need of proof…

    If you can’t comprehend the fact that we will self-confirm several artists, then I suggest you find a different place to visit. We’ve been doing this long enough.

  606. Yeah, that’s like me quoting myself to prove daft punk is playing.

    “daft punk is playing coachella. I just got confirmation”

    -Anonymous

  607. I don’t understand why your own twitter is a source… How do we really know the xx is confirmed?

  608. Coldplay is being pursued to headline now; slim pickings for 2010.

  609. Very Likely that Neon Indian will be hitting Coachella.

    According to his agency, he is looking for one-offs and festivals in spring next year.

    http://www.windishagency.com/artists/neon_indian

  610. That has already been f***ing posted!

  611. this board is officially terrible and really annoying

  612. PING

  613. every single one of you can suck on my right nut and lick my left

  614. Why is Captain Asshole ranting about Charlotte Gainsbourg? Is she playing? No? Then fuck off.

  615. No gig for you soddin’ wankers.

  616. Artfag — I won’t do that because apparently you’re an artfag, which is easily the worst kind of fag, and I’m guessing you’d probably wind up saying a lot of annoying artsy-related shit. Talking about the latest David Foster Wallace book you read. Or musing to me about the beauty of Charlotte Gainsbourg. I don’t need any of that pretentious bullshit, give me a break artfag!

    But just in case there are anymore requests like this, I’ll just let you all know now — before you start coming off like a bunch of ass-lickin’ artfags — I’m probably not gonna sit on anyone’s face unless I’m completely fucked up on drugs and/or alcohol. And if I am that heavily under the influence, you can certainly bet your salad-tossin’, shit-stained faces that I will be about as far away from this website — or anything related to computers for that matter — as possible. In fact, I’ll probably be trying to get a fairly disgusting chick to sit on my face — which is extremely ironic in my opinion.

    Faux Captain Asshole — This situation we’re in reminds me of that movie “Surrogates” starring J. McClane that came out a few months back…only because of the fact that this is taking place on a music blog makes this situation about 100 times gayer than that movie probably already was. And to make this situation even worse, you’re coming off like a god damn artfag — talking about how you’re strawing up all the melting dicks you see every day. Pff, what the hell are you talking about guy? Fuckin freak, who says that? Jesus christ man, get over yourself you slob — stop acting like a clown and bring something to the table.

  617. I carry a straw wherever I go incase I see some dick-melting, but when I don’t, I just rant and cry for a thousand words on CoS.

  618. why doesn’t captain asshole sit on my face?

  619. Why doesn’t the real monklish just change their name to something cooler anyways? And the other fake monklish’s can give themselves catheter’s with some rusty thumbtacks because not only is that shit not funny, annoying and fucking pathetic, it’s also embarrassing just for yourself.

    Go ahead, read that last thing you just wrote again and tell me you think you’re actually being funny. If you’re going to act like an asshole, at least bring some heat and be an asshole. That shit was just pussy and personally, you should get the shit kicked out of you just so you comprehend how fucking dick-meltingly lame that was.

    Although I’m contradicting a previous statement of mine, that shit you just wrote is literally laughable. I legit read it, gave myself a “is-this-fucking-kid-actually-fucking-serious-right-now” face, laughed at how revolutionarily shitty it was, said the following phrase out loud, “WOW, this fucking loser has seriously got to be shitting me, I think I have to punch myself in the face because I unfortunately will probably never have the chance to punch this douchebag in his,” proceeded to punch myself in said face AND my own dick — just to make sure this wasn’t all just a shitty, annoying and unfunny dream — and decided to share my comments.

    Bottom line: “Real” monklish, just change your name. “Fake” monklish(s), go have your mom(s) knit your penis back onto your fucking torso(s) and find a(some) hobby(s), because right now, your schtick blows bro(s).

  620. durrrrrrrrr

  623. Yes I have. STOP IT

  624. I haven’t scooped anything yet for 2010.

  688. Pearl Jam has been hitting the festivals over the last couple years Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, ACL…Is this the year they hit Coachella?

  689. Little Birdy, it’s almost time for Monklish to come on here saying you’re full of shit and then posting a bunch of names on his blog that are bullshit, only to later deny having posted them.

  690. …word is that Karin from The Knife was overheard backstage at the Henry Fonda last night talking about returning to California in the Spring to perform some sort of electronic opera(???!!)..Coachella?

  691. I wouldnt be surprised if Depeche Mode, Massive Attack, PVD, Air, Beastie Boys play.

  692. THE STARS WILL HAVE EYES AT COACHELLA!

    GRIZZLY BEAR
    DEERHUNTER
    JOANNA NEWSOM
    ST. VINCENT
    THE XX

  693. How do you know Daft Bowie won’t play already? Lineup is 3 and a half months away.

  694. You forgot Neil Young and posted three names that I didn’t guarantee. I’m sorry that my guarantees (which were literally the most accurate list posted online–feel free to do the math to prove me wrong) weren’t good enough for you. Sorry that I broke the My Bloody Valentine confirmation. Daft Punk will not play in 2010. Bowie will not play in 2010.

  695. Monklish is full of shit. Where were Boards of Canada, Deerhunter, Hall & Oates, Adele, Armin Van Buuren, Primal Scream, and The Original Wailers this year? Pulled those names randomly out of his fedora, he did.

  696. last two posts are full of shit

  697. Daft Punk and Muse are most likely headlining, and Bowie is still thinking about it. Thom Yorke is playing, too. I was at the afterparty for Thom’s solo show on Friday and all this was confirmed by certain industry bigwigs.

  698. radiohead, them crooked vulture, pavement THOSE ARE GOING TO BE THE HEADLINERS

  699. what debaser said (Muse). Some Guy is Some Deaf.

  700. Pretty Lights confirmed on his twitter that he got an offer to play Coachella 2010 and that he is accepting

  701. i can see muse headlining, they will be in north america in the spring.

    they are one of the best live bands out there so even with the new record be so/so…they still are worthy.

  702. Muse is terrible. Too bad they’ll probably headline a night. We can just hope that we get Orbital in the Sahara during their derivative overwrought bullshit.

  703. Muse, Jay-Z, Neil Young, Faith No More, Pavement, Blur, Massive Attack, Sigur Ros, Beck, LCD Soundsystem, Orbital, Tiesto

  704. Those 3 headliners seem pretty realistic, but I’m not too sure GV will go after Jay-Z, after he just headlined their other festival APW, but who knows. I also don’t think we’ll be lucky enough to get those three big dance acts…one for sure, but that’s probably about it…though I guess maybe Orbital and Basement Jaxx DJ set…I don’t think we’re getting both Orbital AND Underworld.

  705. Where is Pavement?

  706. Main:
    Jay-Z
    Muse
    The Who

    Sahara:
    Underworld
    Orbital
    Basement Jaxx

  707. daft punk/pulp/air
    jay-z/blur/faith no more
    neil young/massive attack/arctic monkeys

  708. NO WAY half of those bands will be there! that’s more than 7 MAJOR headliners that I can count. Hope more is leaked tho..

  709. Boards of Canada!

  710. THE STARS WILL HAVE EYES AT COACHELLA

  711. I meant that wish list below is moronic…that’s clearly false information and not all a “rumor”…the Who is more like wishful thinking, but a possibility still….we’ll see.

  712. Yeah, that was pretty moronic, but can a man not have his wishes?

  713. Well since Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend have both confirmed that the Who are touring next summer, I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to say that they MIGHT play Coachella 2010. …just sayin’

  714. There is going to be a lot of happy people next year….year of the heads and a black hole coming.

  715. It’s not Hall & Oates…it’s actually Oates & Garfunkel.

  716. coachella 2010 is canceled

  717. Hall & Oates are confirmed.

  718. Glastonbury 2010, anyone?!

  719. THE SMITHS ARE A CONFIRMED HEADLINER!

  720. I’ll let you guys know when I hear something…

  721. HAHAHA!!! Don’t forget the Beatles, Jerry Garica, The Doors and Vanilla Ice. HAHAHAHA!! Oh wait… HAHAHA! Thanks Perfect Coachella…. HAHAHA!!

  722. The rumors start off with the same 7 bands every year….wait until December or something to start this.

  723. oh, the radiohead tards are gonna start their hoping and begging now.

  724. The first Coachella 2010 invites have already begun and include acts like David Bowie, Daft Punk, Blur, Pavement, Massive Attack, Tiesto, LCD Soundsystem, Pulp, and The Libertines, but clearly most will not sign on this early, or at all.

  725. Hey “Perfect Coachella”, you’re a moron.

  726. Yeah, that’s definitely not accurate.
