So far the Breeders and VHS or Beta have confirmed. Any others floating out there?
It's also looking likely that My Bloody Valentine will play. Swervedriver would be an amazing addition.
Who would be a logical headliner? Foo Fighters? That would be one night. Smashing Pumpkins might be another. I actually think I can go this year again, haven't been since 2005.
-
Now Confirmed:
Autolux
Cold War Kids
VHS or Beta
Death Cab for Cutie
Turbonegro
Austin TV
Very Likely (like 90%):
The Verve
B-52s
Portishead
(this according to a friend who is keeping track of all these with sources and practically sending out daily emails with updates).
-
For the record, also confirmed are:
Death Cab for Cutie
Cold War Kids
Autolux
Turbonegro
Austin TV
It's also looking like The Verve, The B-52s, Portishead and Caribou will be playing this thing (though none are rock-solid confirms yet).
Foo Fighters, by the way, are out of the running to be a headliner. They're going to be in Australia over Coachella weekend. I have a feeling the headliners will come from this list: R.E.M., Beastie Boys, White Stripes, Oasis, Green Day, No Doubt (reunion), Smashing Pumpkins.

Ha, yes, I never actually put it together that the screenname matched the person in real life. But it's a small world after all.

This is an odd one, but I guess it kinda makes sense since Willie Nelson played last year. According to his Myspace page, Dwight Yoakam's going to be at Coachella this year.

Ah, yes. 1994 called. It wants its bands back.
I'm most disappointed by The Verve. Was it them or William Blake who said:

I thought MBV were ruled out in a recent billboard article?

More importantly, when is Dwight playing around here?

The word on this, apparently, is that at the time of the interview MBV was still iffy for Coachella, so their manager didn't want to say they were playing if they turned out not to be. Note that he didn't give a definitive "no," just said something about looking towards the shows they currently had scheduled. Now, from what I'm hearing, the chances are sounding fairly good of them playing Coachella. I'm sure we'll hear more on this in the coming weeks. If I had to guess, I'd say it's like 60/40 that they play.

having met miss p several times, i can assure that she is quite humble and nice - as long as you're not committing a major fashion faux-pas or starting sentences with a conjunction.
-
It would be worth it for me if Portishead played. I never got to see them.
-
MBV would be a huge incentive for people to go to Coachella. Goldenvoice would be stupid not to offer them a good $500,000 to a $1,000,000, and don't tell me that MBV would turn down that kind of offer. It's a win-win for everyone, which is why so many bands are coming back out of the woodwork. How many of us have seen MBV? Probably only a handful. Now if only Catherine Wheel would come back, it's just too bad they never did a "Loveless". "Chrome" is up there though, it's just not as revered by critics.
-
Goldfrapp are playing!
-
Someone posted this on brooklynvegan comments section...I'm not sure if this is accurate or just a bogus post:
My Bloody Valentine will unfortunately not be performing because Kevin Shields does not feel confident in returning to the stage that soon. Those previously announced dates will be the first. However, Coachella 2008 will have more than enough reunions: The Verve, Swervedriver, The Breeders, a No Doubt headlining set, and most surprisingly: Pulp.
Goldenvoice went through great lengths to get Jarvis Cocker to play Coachella last year and Cocker was so impressed with the vibe and weather at the festival that Paul Tollett was able to talk him into bringing the band back together for a one-off performance in 2008.
Gwen Stefani wanted to perform in the dance tent last year, but for various reasons it did not work out, but the Empire Polo Fields have been chosen as the first venue for the reunion of So-Cal favorites No Doubt. Gwen's contributions to the upcoming album are expected to begin next month.
Major acts performing at Coachella 2008:

i would like to see aphex twin again, but overall the lineup looks incredibly blah to me.
i'm not sure i want to go to coachella ever again (the festival), though..
-
seeing swervedriver and supergrass on the same day would be rad
i am kinda hoping MBV dont play as i am going to see them in london and am spending a SHIT TON
-

Epstein, what kinds of ticket prices have you come across? Cheapest I've found is $814 out of JFK via Air India.
-
Hmmmm...I'm on the fence. I think I need to see the complete lineup before I decide. I seriously doubt they can sell this year out. No Doubt is kind of an odd pick, but they need a big headliner and that will turn some heads.
-
No doubt is to this year's lineup like RHCP were to last year's.
Ugh...
That was such a great slot taken up by the shittiest headliner imaginable.
-

look at it this way, a shitty-yet-popular headliner means an act playing around the same time on another stage will have less assholes hanging around. the last day of ACL 05, coldplay was headlining and not only did i have a great time seeing tortoise with a nice, well-behaved crowd around, but also leaving during coldplay's set meant minimal backup when dealing with lines/traffic to get back into town.
-
That is a good point.
But during RHCP last year, the rest of the stages were either dead or had someone playing on them that I didn't care to see.
-
In addition to all this, someone said that Kelis was rumored to be playing on Day 2...which is RRRRRANDOM.
-
Is that the girl who does that milkshake song?
That song is catchy.

Well, Nas will is apparently performing on Sunday.

Catchy yes... until you've seen the version at the of credits in Dodgeball
-
If you read Jason's post on the Spiritualized website, it looks like a Spirtualized (Acoustic Mainlines) appearance at Coachella as he mentions a short tour from Vancouver to Palm Springs.
-
I believe that listed on brooklynvegan to be total bullshit. It may be 50% correct, but probably more like 30%.
-
no must-see acts, but overall i'd be satisfied with that lineup. although it was a few big names that put me on a plane last year, i got immense pleasure from running from tent to tent early in the day sampling new bands and stopping when i found a gem, which was quite often (ok, running around in 106 degree heat wasn't THAT pleasurable, but the music made up for it).
above-mentioned acts that i'd be very psyched to see:
Pulp
the Chemical Brothers
Death Cab for Cutie
Feist
Broken Social Scene
Magnetic Fields
Swervedriver
Supergrass
R.E.M.
A Tribe Called Quest
Underworld
the Verve
Sufjan Stevens
Goldfrapp
Metric
Rabbit in the Moon
Portishead
Aphex Twin
Justice
Nas
Royksopp
Mogwai
Simian Mobile Disco
Hot Chip
Islands
dunno, seems pretty solid to me. throw in a few pleasant surprises and you have one happy camper.

either your memory fails you, or your taste in music did. during the RHCP/tiesto fiasco, you had the opportunity to catch:
blond redhead
G,B & Q
justice
lcd (wasn't impressive, tho)
sparklehorse
black keys
girl talk
cornelius
the rapture
i caught most of the rapture, and it was a highlight of the festie for me.
-
You're right; a case of my memory failing me.
Cornelius and GBQ were both later on in the night (up against tiesto). I did see parts of LCD and Girl Talk but wasn't too thrilled by either.
I thought blond redhead was earlier that night but could be wrong. For some odd reason, both the friend I was with and I thought Justice were playing on sunday until it was too late and we'd missed them. :(
-
Just for the record, an updated list of confirmed and highly likely bands for you all:
Confirmed:
The Breeders

Also, in addition to the bands I mentioned above, there apparently was some sort of announcement yesterday on KROQ in LA about Muse playing and possibly headlining one day of Coachella. Are they really big enough to headline? I mean, to me they seem like a very strong #2 act, but not necessarily a headliner (kinda like Interpol, Arcade Fire and Manu Chao were last year).

I agree that they are not that big in America but they are HUGE in England. They sold out two nights at the new Wembley. That's 90,000 a night, folks. For Coachella they should just have Matt Bellamy play guitar and have Mika do vocals and do a solid 90-minute set of Queen songs.

They did (co-)headline Saturday night at Lollapalooza last year and I think they sold out MSG shortly thereafter...
-
Since my last post of the confirmed acts, the following bands have added to the lineup:
Animal Collective
Simian Mobile Disco
Man Man
Kavinsky
Sia
-
Muse played in 2004 during the day, and there were people who had flown from Japan just to see them. I think they could definitely headline.
-
so far nothing to make me jump on a plane. i'd consider it if rem, verve, portishead, tribe, are confirmed.
-
Raconteurs, Rilo Kiley, My Morning Jacket, and the Verve are all playing.
They will announce the rest of the lineup today!
-
Peter Gabriel is rumoured to be playing :)
-
Portishead confirmed as saturday headliner supposedly.
-
Jack Johnson confirmed.
-
Roger Waters recreating Dark Side of the Moon
Kraftwerk
-
Kraftwerk is huge. Most likely means a US tour.
Hey Seth????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

interesting. i saw gabriel in '92, one of my first "big" concerts. it was amazing, to this day one of the best stage shows i've seen in terms of using technology creatively. not saying that a festival set of his would necessarily live up to those standards, tho.

kraftwerk: if they're at vfest, no way that they'll be playing the club. probably will have to go to philly (if not NYC) to see them in a club/theater.
verve & portishead: the 930 isn't be big enough. it would indeed be a treat to see them there, but i'd expect them to book a bigger venue.
-
ok...me typing fratnically while listening to the announcement = this from paul tollett:
kraftwerk, love and rockets, portishead, the verve, the raconteurs, rilo kiley, my morning jacket, death cab, fatboy slim, the national, mum, sharon jones, battles, assop rock, midnight juggernaut, minus the bear, spank rock, dan le sac!, spank rock, jens lekman, vampire weekend, dan deacon, rilo kiley, mia, hot chip, coldward kids, stephen malmus, mark ronson, gogo bodeloo, metric, the streets, simain mobile disco, chromeo, the field, les savy fa, cool kids, sia, black kids, cool kids, kiid sister, maan man, im from barceona, shout out louds, rogue wave, bizzy p, tegan and sara, vhs or beta...

Obviously 9:30 Club would be preferable, but I'd go to Merriweather or Patriot Center for any of those. I don't care the venue, if Seth can get any of those to DC in 2008 he'll sell tickets to me!

seth got kraftwerk to the club 2x under 3 years ago.
... of course this happened and was announced after i'd already travelled to california and miami to see them.
...but i still went.

over-all, i'd be damn satisfied if i could get those bands in over 3 days. but as a whole, i'm not sure it's worth over a grand... so for now, i'll also sit this one out (and hope that many of the above are streamed live at the at&t blueroom). i'm not confident that any of the east coast festivals will come up with line-ups as good (but seth, feel free to disprove my lack of faith).
did everyone notice that CALVIN HARRIS is on the bill?!? i really really hope this means he'll be on a wider north american tour this spring. hey seth...
-
f*ck coachella this year. I am booking my Chicago hotel tomorrow for Lolla :)
-
do we have any guarantees that lolla will be any better? coachella's setting is pretty damn spectacular, and i definitely appreciate how organized and superficially un-commercial the festival is. lolla's "bud light stage brought to you by ford" vibe bugs. lolla will definitely be cheaper, tho. i'm sure this has been posted before, but just in case someone missed it: lolla = August 1-3, 2008.
-
coachella has a nice setting, but definitely not worth seeing this year cuz of the lineup. It makes me furious. Jack Johnson is freakin' easy listening sh*t. Roger Waters? Didn't he tour last year? (nothing exciting about it). Would have been better with PJ Harvey, Underworld, Chemical Brothers, Goldfrapp?? And guess what, the 3 day pass this year is $270!!!

:eek: :eek: :eek:
at first i thought coachella was trying to scale back, have less mega-stars, essentially return to it's smaller and more indie roots. that price tags makes me think that they're being lazy and trying to cash in: spend less money on signing acts while raking in more cash. the festival will definitely not sell out this year.

Yeah, I'm a little disappointed in the lineup, but I'm making the trip anyway. Plus, during yesterday's annoucement Tollett said they still had a few "tricks up their sleeve" makes me hope some other deals are still being worked out.
-
The main issue I see is that they're spreading what should essentially be a pretty decent 2-day lineup over 3 days, and it just seems thin to me. And yeah, $270 over 3 days is steep. As much as I love going out there, there just isn't enough to make me commit to that kind of time and money.
-
Yeah, but didn't most of you pay big buck$ to see sad, nostalga acts like Springsteen and Neil Young? How is paying $110 to see Springsteen a better bargin than $270 over three days to see about sixty great, relevant bands (except Roger Waters, who hopefully someone will shoot as soon as he croaks "Breathe...")

For once Brian, I agree with you.
And, I am also keeping my fingers crossed Rogers Waters gets shot mid-performance.

because watered down classic rock with added eye-liner is so much more interesting...
-
Jeez, what did Roger Waters do...rape your dead puppy?
-
Not to dog-pile on Brian, but I just heard my first "Black Parade"-era My Chemical Romance song yesterday, and its nothing but a Queen rip-off. At least songs like that "I'm Not Okay" track had a little angst to propel it along.
Back to Coachella, I do agree with Brian about the cost, but when you add in travel costs, time off and everything else, it's a pretty penny. And considering you can see most of the bands in the next 6 months or so play full sets, it just doesn't add up.
Still, now that I can expense travel to Chicago for work, I'm gearing up for at least one of their summer festivals. Here's hoping Pitchfork turns out stellar.

Roger Waters will turn in a performance far superior then many of the those so called great and relevant current acts.
-
I'd much rather see a great three hour concert by one good act than three days of nonstop minisets by n great acts, if the price is the same.

roger waters not only toured recently, but his shows are mostly the same. he's been playing basically the same shows since he started touring again in 1999. take it from someone who's seen him 5 times since then. not worth it.

Ah, the answer to the great mystery of why No Doubt aren't scheduled to appear at Coachella. I'm sure many of you were heartbroken.
Apparently Gwen's knocked up, and much like "Juno," she's deciding to keep the baby despite that fact that it's father may be the lead singer of Bush.
So.....what does everybody think? Turkey baster or the "Tom Cruise" method? I guess Gwen is REALLY passive agressive about not reforming No Doubt.

That was actually a pretty good line.
