The final stretch.

In spite of what you've read on Twitter, lineup will be announced tomorrow.

My personal guarantee (i.e. I has sufficient knowledge that I trust these will occur, that is, I've been told that these have been making arrangements to attend the festival as contractually paid acts or clear evidence exists on the internet to confirm their attendance as a paid act):

A Place to Bury Strangers
Adele
Armin Van Buuren
Bajofondo
Band of Horses
Buraka Som Sistema

Themselves
Tinariwen
The Ting Tings
TV on the Radio
White Lies

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Please don't judge me on anything below this line tomorrow:

___________________________________

Perhaps (I have faith based on certain knowledge that these should occur, that is, there have been discussions between the bands/agents and the organizers and both parties tend to agree on terms but I don't have sufficient evidence due to various reasons to believe this to be 100% true):

Paul Oakenfold
Robyn
Steel Pulse
The Doves
The Faint
The Heavy
The Mountain Goats
The Specials
The Thermals
Underworld
Wilco

No factual basis other than I've heard it's possible (My faith is wavering based on various factors that these might occur, that is, these names have been thrown around by the organizers and people that I know which aren't associated with organizing the festival and/or they seem relatively unlikely to occur to me on a personal level):

Amy Winehouse
Eminem
Far
Freebass

Jedi Mind Tricks
Mogwai

The White Stripes
The Vaselines
TRVSDJAM

Won't be there:
Animal Collective

Depeche Mode
Fischerspooner
Jarvis Cocker (apologies to the uber fans that asked about this 20 times in my comments section)
Oasis
PJ Harvey
Pulp
Radiohead
R.E.M.
Royksopp
Simian Mobile Disco
The Prodigy

Reunion rumors (and which ones I'll say "probably" for):
The Avalanches - probably
Big Audio Dynamite - nope
Operation Ivy - nope
Pavement - nope
Roxy Music - nope
Screaming Trees - nope
The Jam - ...
The Kinks - ...
The Replacements - probably
The Smiths - ...

It's pretty sad that people are taking this SO seriously. Monklish is just doing what everyone else on the message boards and other blogs are doing. Enough with the name calling. Anon, you're the one being a bitch for acting out.

I'd like to be cowboys from Arizona or pimps from Oakland but it's not Halloween. Grow up; Peter Pan, Count Chocula.

Adam said...

Wow Anon, I'm guessing this'll be your first year there, right? Although I'm sure you'll come back saying you've been there before, and hey, maybe you did go last year on Friday for Jack Johnson. Good for you.

Do you know how easy it is to post as yourself? The internet is pretty tough to figure out these days, but I do suppose you need to be a blogger in order to know how to use your own name.

I'm on the coachella boards as mindcradle, and I'm sure you're one of the noobs on there who have just created an account within the past few weeks, right? I'm not a difficult person to find, i link to a picture or link of me on each site.

And it sounds like i would've won 20 bucks too...not necessarily on all anonymous posters being the same person, but the sad life part.

Wow if your serious that is the worst headliners in years =(

Adam and this other pussy, no the internet is not hard to use dipshits, I dont have a blogger id or use message boards, give me your emails or other contact info and well find a way too settle this at Coachella, until then shut your fucking mouths.

I dont see how I need too get ANOTHER job or get a life, wasting time at work and getting paid too do it, doesn't sound too bad too me.

I dont really care about the Monklish this, it doesnt piss me off one bit its more comical then anything, I just think its funny that she thinks she's cool or better then anyone with her "inside" info, when in reality she doesnt know whit, thats my two cents.

Anonymous said...

And im not taking this too seriously, again, I think its comical that you guys are fooled by this fraid, so im just talking shit on Monklish as I think its funny.

Adam is the one who started acting like a tough guy talking shit on people who were smart enough to realize Monk was a fake, so im giving Adam a chance too be tough in real life, that's it pretty much.

Monklish said...

@God: no quite

No Bowie.
No Dylan
No Costello

Haven't heard about Lou Reed. That would be neat, though, but I'd say "No" based on the lack of Lou reed info.

@angryanon300: The thousands of dollars that I've made on this website is up to $8 since October, at the moment. I've set my blog up in a way where the majority of the traffic is on the comments page which doesn't monitor traffic.

Again though I dont care what anyone says so say whatever you want to say. I can post here too. Monk can post, Adam can post, I can post. Im a really nice guy really and I work a lot. It sucks I get cooked like this offering another opinion but whatever. Seriously whatever.

Ive been too Coachella for 5 years now, Im only talking shit cuz this Monklish is a fraud, i could car less about the line up, ill be there regardless.

Kudos too you, enjoy your 20 bucks, you sure have much more of a life, you respond to all attacks within minutes, so looks like your just in the same spot as all of us, nice burn pussy ;)

Adam said...

I like that. Angryanon300. I'll run with it. Nobody's taking away your right to post here angryanon. I'm pretty sure it's just how you post, and what you post that is making everyone else have a nice afternoon laugh.

And you're right, it's painfully obvious how seriously you aren't taking it, isn't it?

So Monk...Elbow, anything on them? Or how about a wild card like the Notwist making their first desert appearance??

The headliners aren't really what makes Coachella, Coachella anyway, its the unknown bands and the bands just getting there start. All the headliners do is bring in frat boys who want to get wasted and say they went to Coachella. If the Doves and girl talk are there, that is worth price of admission right there.

Anonymous said...

Headliners revealed.
Friday-
Blur
Morrissey, Franz Ferdinand, Basement Jaxx
Saturday-
David Bowie (not as Ziggy Stardust, could be a late addition a la Prince)
the Killers, the Chemical Brothers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Sunday-
Paul McCartney
the Replacements, Kings of Leon, the Crystal Method

Britney Spears could still be a late, surprise addition, but she will not be announced today. Amy Winehouse, the Prodigy, Neil Young, the Specials, The Faint, Animal Collective, and Bloc Party were all close to being on-board, but negotiations fell through for various reasons. Outside the top acts, there are not many surprises, two of which are The Fireman and Fever Ray. Expect many repeats, and one act will be performing their third Coachella in a row, and thankfully it is not Justice.

OH NOES! Hey look, Monk said the lineup would be out today, and it's not. Won't post the actual headliners because she/he doesn't know. Surprise surprise. Just close this blog down.

popsicill said...

It's not her fault it didn't come out today. It was GoldenVoice's because they needed to "move around some big names" as the dj's said this morning.

Anonymous said...

Monkalicious is a fucking fraud!

Anonymous said...

Sorry that's just an excuse. Saying the 26th/27th was just a guess on her/his part that "sounded good" and would probably be close/right. If Monk really knew the headliners then he/she would of known that they were still moving "big names" around and wouldn't announce today. Yet he/she didn't, because Monk doesn't know shit. This blog equals fail.

popsicill said...

for all you know some of the artists could have dropped out or maybe couldn't play their original day. next you're going to blame monklish for hurricanes and wildfires.

Anonymous said...

Right, and Monk should of known and said something like that or at least mentioned that the lineup was canceled for today because he/she is somehow God-like in Coachella rumor knowledge, yet she/he failed to say/mention anything. Enough of this. Not very hard to say "Hey, lineup will be out tomorrow because of a last minute hold up".

Anonymous said...

So when is the lineup coming? why wont goldenvoice apologize for our suffering?

popsicill said...

no one has ever claimed she is a "God-like" whatever but we come back and read because we want to. if you don't like it just stop coming back and go kick rocks or something.

Anonymous said...

k even if she doesn't know what going on she could tell us what she does know.. what the headliners WERE before this seemingly colossal goat fuck

Monklish said...

Weeks ago, I originally said that the lineup was supposed to be out yesterday, but my bet was March 2nd. Everyone discounted this, thought I was a total fraud for suggesting that their lineup could ever come out so late.

Ignoring the fact that the company that posts their lineup never announced a set date, everyone decides various times that the lineup most certainly will come out. It doesn't. Time passes by and we end up in my incredibly late time window that I had the nerve to suggest was accurate.

When myself and other much more legitimate media outlets get wind of the lineup coming out this morning, everyone gets quite excited. We all believe that the lineup is coming out because we've been told that the lineup is coming out. Everyone is excited. Then the lineup isn't out and we're told that it's not coming out, yet. When is it coming out? "Soon" So there's your answer. The same answer we all have. Thanks for taking your anger out on me, though.

Stop posting on my blog little anon boy. You're ignorant. You're incorrect.

Anonymous said...

Everyone will have killed themselves by March 2nd, and that would guarantee nobody outside of LA would attend. On the other paw, considering how things have gone down lately, it would not be a surprise at all.

Never freak out the diehards like this. It's cheaper and easier to keep an olc costumer than finding a new one.

Monklish said...

Their aim is to sell 150,000 tickets spread over 3 days. It's a business, they're not stupid, so they want to have a product that will move 150,000 tickets.

Anonymous said...

Goldenvoice intern here again with a quick update. Not exactly sure when lineup will be announced, but we are looking at by the end of this week, possibly as soon as tomorrow. We are trying to get down the last details before we officially announce anything.

As for which artist will be there, some of you are half correct, others completely wrong. There are going to be some surprises but don't shoot too high, "just let it be." Come April 17th "you shall be released." Anyways I promise everyone will have a good time. After all it is the 10th year anniversary, "its a once in a lifetime."

Anonymous said...

Well that was subtle. If you are not lying thank you, for risking everything, and that's an unbelievable lineup if true.

Anonymous said...

If that intern is who he says he is, then I think he just gave hints to the three headliners. "Let it be" obviously represents Paul McCartney as a headliner. "You shall be released", not sure who that represents. "Its a once in a lifetime"? I think that's a song by The Talking Heads, thus confirming another headliner.

Anonymous said...

@ James

Those were pretty obvious clues, I don't think you needed to post your "guesses." And you need to listen to way more Robert Zimmerman.

Anonymous said...

That's two American headliners and one European, so either

a. Things have changed and Monklish's information is outdated
b. Monklish never knew the headliners
c. This intern is lying

Either way this blog has kept me sane in this waiting period, so thank you very much Monklish.

"you shall be released" has nothing to do with the talking heads if anything its The Band which is dead.....

Anonymous said...

"I Shall Be Released" was written by Bob Dylan. It was famously covered by the Band, but it is physically impossible for them to reunite so I assume they're referring to Dylan. "Its a once in a lifetime" most likely refers to the Talking Heads, you misread what he said Adam.

Mark D. said...

That's pretty ballsy intern. It almost sounds too good to be true, but it does make sense. Your previous post said that someone was juggling some European dates around and Dylan will be in Europe that weekend. We all know Macca has been "confirmed", and David Byrne (if not the Talking Heads) has been rumored for as long as Morrisey or any other big name.

Who knows maybe Monklish had it backwards when she said 2 British/1 American. I'm still hoping for Dashboard Confessional in the Dance Tent covering six pence none the richer songs, but...

Anon @12:49...BB, Kinks? That'd be great...

this intern fellow better be fibbing. bob dylan sucks in concert... love his music but come on.. its like watching the rolling stones.

Anonymous said...

Ok I have reason to belive that this is going to happen:
Fri: jane's addiction/ moz
Sat: the cure/killers
Sun: that one beatle/ kings of leon

Not set in stone but this is what all night on the phone will get you.

Anonymous said...

Hope failed is wrong on the Cure. They suck and that would go against monks theory of only 1 past headliner. both janes and cure have headlined if im not mistaken.

I can't confirm anything. As for DJs go you bloggers generally are in the right direction.

But I can confirm Anon vs. Anon, that will probably be our sunday night headliner. After all according to some other posters we are broke.

P.S. People need to calm down. A music festival lineup isn't worth getting this worked up over. Coachella is a place for peace and joy not anger and violence.

Intern must have skipped tool and rage in 99, tool in 06, rage in 07!!! There was so much piece and love flowing through the crowd!!!

Psypwndr69 is a sorry excuse for a human being. Seriously? You're that mad about a blogger who posts hints about Coachella bands? Who the fuck calls another person those names over a FUCKING BLOG ABOUT COACHELLA ACTS?

Get a life asshole. I hope you don't go to Coachella. And if you do, come say hi so I can call you an asshole to your face.

Thanks again to Monk. Keep it up. Don't mind the troll losers who have nothing better to do than lurk and curse on blogs all day.

@Psypwndr69

You need to get the fuck out bro. You might as well go to Ozzfest if your going to talk like that.

Anonymous said...

I believe (not that i want..) that it will be:

Friday: U2, Morrisey, chemical brothers.
Sat: NIN, Neil Young, The Killers, Britney Spears.
Sun: Paul McCartney, Franz Ferdinan, Future Sound Of London.

Psypwndr69 is hilarious. they let you have computer access in jail? amazing.

you should probably watch your mouth around police officers with IP tracking capabilities that happen to check Coachella blogs b/c they go every year.

just saying.

Hey Rene, it's fake.

Did you really think it was likely that Ryan Seacrest would be the one to "scoop" everybody else on the Coachella lineup? C'mon now. Haha.

rene said...

i thought its worth a looksie :)

Monklish said...

@anon528: not the lineup

Anonymous said...

March 2nd for the lineup. I hope that was a typo.

Where did you get this info? I think that's a bit too close April.

Anonymous said...

why are most people disappointed in mccartney? he's a fucking beatle. he is going to give people what they want. it will be 80 percent beatle shit, no wings, and some of his good solo stuff. and yes some of his solo stuff is good, even the most recent stuff. have you heard the song jenny wren? very good. he is an old guy but it is not the same as having somone like lame bruce springstine there.

Anonymous said...

The Cure
Michael Jackson
Paul McCartney

LameCake said...

Lol, Michael Jackson would be pretty cool.

Monklish said...

as much as I would enjoy hearing "PYT", no Michael Jackson

rene said...

coachella is cancelled...

Monklish said...

@rene: the sky isn't falling. the lineup should be out "soon". they're just working on something, still.

Anonymous said...

Even when the lineup comes out, theres no guarantee that its final. Last year Prince was added way late (supposidly). Coachella has never been about headliners so maybe this being the 10 year anniversary they want to reward loyal fans and not announce big names until tickets are mainly sold out. Thats how it should be done. I trust Coachella will be fuckin rad

Adam said...

Quick question. How did you surmise that original March 2nd date? Any particular reason Goldenvoice would wait that long to make an announcement?

Unknown said...

Monklish, let me say that I respect all the footwork youve done on this. Dont let the douchesniff anons get ya down.

Question: is the "something" they are working on worth the wait?

Monklish said...

Yes. Coachella has a chance to be the festival "winner" for the year.

Again, Monk if you're right about My Bloody Valentine, Leonard Cohen, Paul McCartney and TVOTR...I will kiss your ass :)~

No GNR.

Anonymous said...

Monklish, couldn't you give us an update on when you think the lineup is coming? I think we can all agree that whoever is on it, we'd like to see it.

Anonymous said...

So you've told us who two headliners are. Can you give us a hint on the third?

Unknown said...

Yeah, its the Smiths.

Announcement on Friday, tickets on sale Monday.

Anonymous said...

it's been awhile since anyone has mentioned Blur. Are they still a possibilty and what about Oasis?

Anonymous said...

The Cure (repeat, non-American)
Paul McCartney (new, non-American)

That leaves one new American headliner.

Anonymous said...

so mccartney, the smiths, and ???

Anonymous said...

So who is still available as a headliner besides McCartney?

Blur
The Killers
The Smiths
The Cure
Jane's Addiction
Neil Young
Beastie Boys
NIN

Can you eliminate any of those names for us?

Anonymous said...

Hey Monk D lish
any word on Muse?

Puscifer?, Primus?...in the lineup?

Anonymous said...

Monk is a fraud, she deleted my comment because I had proof she was bullshitting all you guys and would have made you all believers and stop visiting her site so she would in return stop making her millions of hits.

Fuck this censoring bullshit let the people know the turth!

Anonymous said...

I really doubt Monklish is doing this for the money. On my browser I only see one ad with adblock off, and I seriously doubt she's getting enough hits to make that amount to any significant amount, or if advertisements are commonplace for all Blogspot accounts (I don't come here too often.)

Also, I am pretty sure that if you had posted a comment and it was deleted, all those who subscribe to the comments via email would have seen what you said, and I see nowhere in my inbox a deleted comment from you (although you are anonymous so I wouldn't even be able to identify it).

Anonymous said...

enough of the bitching. if you knew anything about blogspot or internet ads, you'd know that monklish isn't making any real money.

Monklish said...

@StillAngryAnon: Millions of hits? I'll low ball your guess as 2 million. You are off by 1,970,000 hits.

I deleted your comments because they had racially demeaning, homophobic and stupidly sexist language, though, mostly, as I warned, I find your love of the CAPS LOCK key annoying.

In the interest of reducing world Internet traffic, we can tell you that the lineup for the 2009 edition of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival will NOT be announced today. That’s according to Paul Tollett, the chief architect of the signature California rock festival, who feels the pain of fans who JUST. NEED. TO. KNOW.

Tollett says, “I know everybody is going crazy, but we’re not stalling, we’re still working on the show. Everything we do is in service of the show, not in service of the announcement of the show. Believe me, we’re excited to tell everybody and we want to tell everybody, but the show is still being put together.”

So lay off the refresh button, kid.

But its probably educated speculation. just like every other lineup that's been debunked.

Anonymous said...

You probably won't respond to this comment among all the others... but I figure it's worth looking into anyway: have you asked anything about Jane's Addiction yet? They've been speculated as headliners for a while now, but with the official announcement of an April tour a couple days ago, it suddenly dawned on me that they are actually pretty likely, (not to mention their history with Goldenvoice and the whole festival of course). They'll be releasing a box set in April followed by an American tour, according to their website.

But I see that you have them listed nowhere on the blog. Does that mean you have written them off? Have you not asked at all? Or have you just heard nothing?

Well, thanks for anything Monklish... you are the best!

Anonymous said...

^ ITS FAKE

Anonymous said...

Sorry, I think I completely misunderstood the "officialness" here in my last comment, Perry just talked to some random blogger and opened up about Janes' upcoming plans, there's nothing official about it nor is it on any website of their's, it was a little slip of the tongue from Perry that hopefully turns out to be factual.

http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b79690_sundance_notebook_swag_swag_more_swag.html

(The last paragraph of the blog^^)

Still, my question remains, have you heard ANYTHING about Jane's Addiction playing Coachella? Any little thing at all?

Monklish said...

@Ryan: I can tell you that Jane's Addiction is not headlining the festival. I do not know if they're playing, but I'd imagine that Perry is there in some form as he always is.
