i have driven from Phoenix to LA in 6 hours. and Indio is like 130 miles east of LA right on I-10.  i think phoenix would only be about 4-5 hours.
 
 either way i am flying into San Diego (like last year) or Ontario.

If Kraftwerk is playing, I'm definitely there.
 
 Btw, anyone know of a good way to get there? I'm hearing that the best way to avoid the traffic there is to exit the 10 freeway on Monroe, not Indio Blvd.

LCD Soundsystem and T. Raumschmiere have announced thier Coachella appearances on thier booking site www.billions.com
 
 LCD is good stuff if you've never heard them.

I just booked a room there as well. Would be funny if everyone's next to one another.

It's the Palm Springs/Indio one on Varner Rd.

Cool.  I booked mine in Rancho Mirage, but its not too far away.  just closer to downtown Palm Springs.  just a note, the Palm Springs/Indio one (i think) is where i stayed last time, and there not much within walking distance anyway, but i think Rancho Mirage has stuff you can walk to.
 
   they are really only like a mile from each other though.

Sounds good...I envision myself driving around listening to QOTSA's first album for a bit.    Even though it'll be a bit warmer when Coachella rolls around, it sure is nice to think of warm weather when it's freezin' cold in DC!

Rumor is that The Cure and/or Nine Inch Nails will be headlining the second night.

yeah, i have heard both.  and truthfully, either would be fine with me'
 
   Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails is MUCH MUCH better than last years choices Beastie Boys and Red Hot chili Peppers.

[ratioci nation]

so what is the guess on how much tickets will be? and is it general admission?

general admission most definitely. its on a polo field(s) which means its just some field.  very green grass though, not like some other places. there are a few sets of bleachers here and there, other than that, no where to really sit.
 
  tickets were $160 for both days last year, and thats after service charges and shipping and what not.

Some other "rumors"
 
 -Franz Ferdinand
 -Morrissey
 -Desert Sessions (Josh Homme, PJ Harvey, Dave Grohl)
 -Grohl's side project - Probot - with Lemmy.
 
 I don't have any idea how accurate these are.  Just passing them along.

Oh wow!! I've never seen The Cure and always wanted to.

[lily1]

christ, i haven't seen the cure in probably 15 years!  :eek:
 
 they did a good show. and anyone i've ever spoken to that has seen them live has good things to say.
 
 $160 for 2 days of music. that's totally reasonable. now, if only my work bonus were 3 times the size, then i'd be joining you all out there.
