[lily1]

happy mondays? wtf? really?

[ayates]

Since Peeping Tom will be there I hope Mike Patton stabs Kiedis in the thorax.

I'm definitely skipping out this year. A few interesting bands, but this is not worth my time and money this time around, especially given that the bands I will most likely want to see will be in DC at some point this year anyway.

[K8teebug]

I'm too poor to go this year.  I would really like to see Bjork though.  I've never seen her.  Looks like I'll be waiting to hear her other tour dates.
 
 Can someone please make the Red Hot Chili Peppers GO AWAY?  Thank you.

So . . . . you have an issue with Depeche Mode, Rage, & Tool but you like Coldplay. Coldplay. Ummmm . . . . yeah. Check.  

no, silly, i dont like coldplay. but i can understand how they could headline such a festival.  
 
    welcome to the board, now stop assuming people like Coldplay.

So I take it the police thing isn't happening.

The Crowded House reunion makes a certain amount of sense, given that Neil and Tim Finn have continued to collaborate, and probably want to take advantage of the US release of the CD/DVD marking the 10th anniversary of Crwded House's final concert in Sydney.
 
 However, given Paul Hester's suicide a couple of years ago, I'm surprised the rest of the band would want to do a reunion.

 So I take it the police thing isn't happening.

either that, or they're still trying to keep the police thing "secret", as in worse kept secret ever.  or maybe they really are no longer on the bill.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Doesn't the "rest of the band" consist of one other guy?

placebo and sparklehorse, pretty nice.
 
    about 20 or so bands i'd like to see,  many bands i havent really heard.  
 
 not the best, but certainly not the worst lineup they've had!

[bearman🐻]

I know it's just one band, but is anyone else shocked that the Shins aren't on there? I would have bet money that this would have been the year for them to be there.

[sonickteam2]

i havent counted, but this seems like not enough bands for 3 days.  i would imagine their official announcement may have more, and then even more will be added.
 
 but yeah, the shins are like one of the LAST bands i dont think have ever played chella.

[bnyced0]

Not enough?  Paul's stated goal was to decrease conflicts and make everything smoother over a 3 day period, in that sense this seems like plenty and I personally hope they stand pat.  My quota of making tough choices and running around with my head cut off is fulfilled at CMJ, Airwaves, and SXSW to once be able to enjoy everything would be nice.

[sonickteam2]

well, since i dont plan on going this year, i wasnt all up on "Pauls stated goal" but based on past Coachella's, theres more bands to be added.
 
  if he's booking less bands per day, than this may be 90%.  (theres ALWAYS a few more)
 
  personally, i liked Coachella for its conflicts.  sometimes you'd get a close spot for a great band just because they were playing opposite a band you didnt care for or had already seen.  
 
   and even if i did have to miss a band i wanted to see, it was only because a better band was playing!!!
