Dude, that is so early January.

[DeathFromAbove1979]

DEATH FROM ABOVE 1979 ARE BACK !!!!!!!!!! Anyone else who saw them at that Black Cat gig way back knows why all caps was needed.

Omar Rodriguez, cool cool. One Day as A Lion finally getting out there and playing. That's swell.

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! Their Black Cat show sold out before I could get tickets but I saw them open for NIN! Hope they tour....

So is coachella a noun that means Corporate Ad Agency approved "indie" music?

[nkotb]

BUUUUURRRRN.

But yeah, that line-up is ZZZZZZZZZ.

seeing how these people are the ones who go anymore



the line up looks about right.

[betao]

Well I booked my flight yesterday. I love the lineup.

Looking forward to Duran Duran, The Chems, Leftfield (!!!!!!!!!), Sasha, Shpongle (word is its actually live), Sven Vath, Caifanes, DFA 1979, Big Audio Dynamite, Trentmoller, High Contrast, HEALTH, Lightning Bolt, Tame Impala. And more to discover.

Hopefully the bland headliners/big names cut down the attendance a bit.

To me it just looks like a lineup to sell as many tickets as possible. Nothing really speaks to me in a way that makes me want to invest all of the time, money and energy. Are they still doing 3-day-only passes? If they are, hope everyone will have a great time, but there's no way that you'd get me on a plane. I'm safely sitting this one out. Hopefully PJ Harvey will tour and come to the East Coast, same thing with the London Suede.

[K8teebug]

Totally agree with bearman.  Of course, it could be because I am old and boring now, but that lineup is really dull.

[blipvurt]

I think it's a fairly boring line-up this year too. I could definitely piece together fun days each day, but am not making the trip this year.

It's so sad you refer to them as "The London Suede."

Brian, let me guess, you get tickled by writing "neighbourhood" don't you

[walkonby]

i like using colour, as in colour me badd.  yeah.  you know you loved them.

[bearman🐻]

Sorry Brian, didn't want to confuse you with the lesbian Suede who sings at the Birchmere all the time. Figured you were a fan.

[Mr.Whippy]

I am probably going due to commitments to friends and family, but I agree with others that the linup alone would not inspire me to incur the time/expense like it did last year.

Yay for Death from Above 1979!  Also excited about miss Polly Jean, Shpongle, Chemical Brothers and a bunch of other things.

yeah, i'd be excited excited about a lot of the same bands.  not quite enough to get me on a plane, but if i'm anywhere near CA for work around then...

according to leftfield's website, "the Leftfield tour will be announcing a couple of dates in the US very soon".  coachella is one, hopefully we'll get an (or several) east coast dates.

live shpongle... mmmmmm.
