Coachella: Prince Added

neat

Cool. Waters will be spectacular. All points should be interesting.

alt/indie in mexico city - eghh...all right.

All points to 'All Points' showcasing a certain epic band from Oxford, UK, headlining.

would that mean we all get to decide how much we want to pay for tix?

just sayin.

this line-up sucks..... unless you like shitty indie, i mean i know most all of these bands and i dont know what the draw is? i guess thats choachella give the masses what they want and leave the cash at the door. waters is cool, sharon jones and the dap kings, kraftwerk,JBT,and mmj wow not even on days worth of cool stuff.

BFD, Indie bands suck, $275 somthing like that? fugetabout

Wow, what a spectacularly unimpressive line-up. I wouldn't go if it were next door and I had free tickets.

Honestly, yea. Sort of an absense of epic in comparison with last year. I'd gladly pay Coachella's ticket price for something like the reunions that were going on last year.

Kraftwerk? Fuck yes

I think we all here know you would go to Coachella if you were next door and had free tickets, you'd be an idiot not too. Quit trying to sound like there isn't at least one reason to go. If there isn't even one band on that list that you can't "get into" a little bit, then you shouldn't be listening to music in the first place.

it's too bad that none of you are in to electronic music, b/c this lineup is actually quite nasty. consider: fatboy slim, modeselektor, sasha & digweed, m.i.a., boys noize, junkie xl, james zaviela, sebastian, justice, chromeo, simian mobile disco, booka shade!! are you kidding me? that's disgusting. and not even to speak of sharon & the daps, battles, portishead, waters, ETC. (and yes, kraftwerk). i'm sure some would criticize me for not including several other artists on this list...

some unbelievable bands, but I agree that this lineup is somewhat weak in its overall collection of bands

It's just like every year. A couple of good bands each day and the rest are worthless. With my fucking luck Raconteurs and Jack Johnson would overlap. That's the problem with these festivals---overlap is a bitch. If I lived closer i'd probably go. The good thing is that this might give a sneak peak at the possibility of PORTISHEAD playing Bonnaroo or ACL. Which to me is bigger story than all the other artists listed. Day by day breakdown of the good artists:

Friday: Jack Johnson, The Verve, Raconteurs, Fatboy Slim, John Butler Trio

Saturday: Portishead, Rilo Kiley, Grand Ole Party, Bird/the Bee, Mark

Ronson

Sunday: Roger Waters

Why couldnt roger waters perform one of Floyd's more interesting albums? Meddle? or maybe Obscured By Clouds? At least I know there wont be any overlap with Waters since he is the only good thing going that day. and I know I would gurantee myself a front row seat since I'd just go to the mainstage and wait. That also means however I'd have to sit thru MMJ, Gogol Bordello (what gimmicky slop they are), not to mention 70's burnouts who's only Floyd they own is Dark Side and the Wall.

You know what? I just talked myself out of going. I just hope that the good bands playing will be at Bonnaroo or even Veg.... I forgot are we allowed to talk about the "V" word festival anymore? You know, the one in Vegas? I wouldnt want to get this thread erased.

This lineup sucks, except for Waters of course. I saw him in VA about a year or two ago, and he totally blew me away. As a generation that never got to see floyd, this is a great compromise. Jack Johnson should be a good time for everyone at coahella... to take a nap. Bring Waters to ROO!!

$269?? You gotta be kidding. I agree, except for a couple decent bands, the rest is indie crap. It looks like the whole festival/jam scene is evolving into high ticket, lets try to be cool, junk band music festivals. I'll see ya all at All Good.

130 degrees for this lineup? No Thanks!

I'd be interested to hear about some of these bands from people who've actually seen them. I'll start the ball rolling by saying both Les Savy Fav and Akron/Family spank most of the competition in the live setting. Truly unique experiences almost every time. And speaking of spank, Spank Rock is a good time in concert. Animal Collective is rarely less than interesting live, and reggae legend Linton Kwesi Johnson should be a trip in this setting. And heavy music fans are in for a treat with Turbonegro back on U.S. shores. For lovers of music in the archetypal sense there's a lot here to be jazzed about.

What a pathetic lineup. Im gonna go there and try to look cool and see if everyone likes my clothes... puke...

What happened to the My Bloody Valentine reunion?

Meh. Pretty interesting lineup, but the heat - no thanks!

Knock it down to MMJ, Raconteurs, The Breeders and Waters. Charge $100 for the whole day and I'm in.

I get Waters Headlining, but Jack Johnson and Portishead ? ? ? when did Portishead ever have that big of a following ? ? Am I missing something here ? ? I'v only seen Jack Johnson at Bonnaroo a few years ago, and he got totally drowned out by all the other bands on different stages. This festival might end up being a disaster. anymore than $150 a ticket is a total rip-off for this.

wow.. a bunch of close-minded posts from a bunch of people who have never even heard these artists' music? on a coachella thread on jambase?

surely i wasn't expecting that at all...

This lineup is incredible for only $150. I am disappointed to see that Roger Waters and Jack johnson are headlining. It seems to me that Kraftwerk or the breeders would have grabbed a main spot. One of these years coachella, or maybe bonnaroo will bring back pavement. What are guys bitching about...no Umphrees McShit,douchebag donna,DSO, os some shitgrass from yonder mountain?

Waters is a greedy tool bag. Id rather watch Austrailian Floyd over him any day. At least they can still play their instruments. This is coming from a huge Floyd fan. Obscured By Clouds is a sick album but theres no way he would play that, talk about an album no one knows about. Who do you think drove up the price of addmision?

I probably won't be able to swing the $280 ticket price, but this line-up is packed full of good acts. Anybody who has never listened to The Bees is really missing out. I think even the people on this site who ignorantly hate on most indie music would like them. fordaj- I've had my fingers crossed for a pavement reunion for years, but I just don't think it's gonna happen anytime soon. In the meantime, you should check out Malkmus and the Jicks. They write great songs and jam out more than Pavement ever did (which can be both good and bad) not to mention that their drummer (Janet Weiss from Sleater-Kinney) is a powerhouse and sexy as shit to boot.

The lineup is o.k. Something for everyone I guess.

The only problem I have is the ticket price.

270!? Come on now.

These festivals are starting to get out of control with the prices.

I can't wait to see what B-roo & the other fests are gonna charge this year.

$280 is high

Hating on this lineup only confirms you don't know jack about music.

I heard there's going to be a special late night Dwight Yokam vs. Battles DJ set!

hope they dont bring this gay line up to the east coast.

someone start Indiebase so we don't have to see these posts. Although I did see it posted on absolutepunk.net so I guess there's no stopping boring indie music posts.

I'd go just for Booka Shade, they bring the heat anytime they play!

Wack line up!!! Now this is the most bullshit acts I've ever seen on one list!

This fest is gonna totally boost Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza ticket sales. This is worse than a Pitchfork line-up (you know, the fest that only "cool indie" people who don't like anyone to like the bands that they like play at. Last year they had Yoko Ono and a bunch of other "Indie rock darlings"). and whats with all these shitty bands that went away (breeders and portishead) that are trying to make a comeback now? It didn't work for the Gin Blossoms, and it's not gonna work for them. haha.

I get giddy inside reading this lineup... I can't wait for Coachella!!!!

Some decent acts, Waters of course rules. Gotta say though pretty B-rate lineup.

This confirms that Bonnaroo and Superfly are leading the way..... And that way is to book medocre acts and raise ticket prices without returning a higher level of product.

Festivals are just cash cows now. Bring in the heard, steer them from pen to pen, then back out when they're done with you. Just say no to MOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The only way to stop it is to stop going to festivals. I've taken a step back and just spend $40-$50 to see one act that I actually want to see, instead of $300 for 3 and a bunch of filler nonsense.

DISPERSE! THE VULTURES SMELL MONEY!!!!

Did I see someone call Yonder Mountain 'shitgrass'? You are well spoken sir.

Whatever the tix cost, Portishead alone is worth it. I'd crawl through broken glass to see Portishead. It's just too bad they are not the same day as My Morning Jacket, for a single day ticket.

the line up isn't super weak, its just super weak for what is essentially a 300 buck ticket. . . .

jack johnson headlining over the breeders?????

Roger waters closing it down!!!!!

the streets, gogol bordello, and spiritualized on sunday!!!!!

nobody I'm excited about on saturday?????

i could see radiohead 5 times for the price of one cochella ticket. . . .

i could go to the All Good, Smilefest, and Wakarusa for the price of one cochella ticket. . . . .

overall thanks but NO THANKS

I understand everyones tastes conflicts here, but this is a sub-par lineup with a few enticing highlights, its a shame to see what has happen to festival prices and marketing. (i go to 10k, allgood, and langerado)
