Coachella 2010

[sweetcell]

lineup to be announced on thursday, supposedly.  confirmed and rumored acts: http://consequenceofsound.net/festival-outlook/coachella-valley-music-and-arts-festival/

who is going this year?  looks like i'll pass - FNM and soundgarden would interesting additions, if they get them, but overall the lineup isn't enough to put me on a plane (even if all the rumors turn out to be true).

Meh for the headliners, but the rest look pretty good.

Fever Ray, Florence & the Machine, Orbital, Grace Jones!

do gorillaz play behind a screen or how are they playing live now?

[James Ford]

Will anybody there, either in a band or a fan, look as douchey as this?

[sweetcell]

another name that caught my eye: Talvin Singh.  i've been wanting to see him for years.  frightened rabbit is cool too, i wonder if this means they'll be touring on the east coast too.

overall, i'm reconsidering my decision to not go... this is a very respectable lineup, IMO.

thanks, didn't know that.  reviews of the shows are universally positive, 4 out of 5 stars: guardian, independent, telegraph.

i'd imagine it'll be something like that, they're promising a "multimedia extravaganza".  i believe that they haven't played for some time now so who knows what they'll use.  in the past they've projected holograms on a clear plastic film stretched across the stage, one can only imagine that for this gig they're going to pull out something cool.

My flight has been booked for a few weeks now. I've been the past 2 coachellas and this one is the best yet.

Can't believe I'm going to see Orbital and Thom Yorke... holy shit.
