Walter J, you seem like you're a nice chap and are definitely trying to contribute and may even have the ins. However, you gotta get a blogger account man. It's not making any sense for you to keep showing up and saying "this guy isn't me, but here's what I have." It's turning into a headache. Get an account and you'll get a grip of followers from this and we'll know when it's actually you. On that note, thanks for giving us some info to let us play with. It's getting fun already.
Elvis Costello most likely wouldn't be a subheadliner. If they do the poster like they did last year though he would probably be on the second line, kind of like PJ Harvey. If they do their typical two bands on the second line than he'd likely be on the third line like Paul Weller or Leonard Cohen in 2009.
Walter J, if you are making all this shit up I will be so bummed...so much that I want to see, and then I sit back and realize that most of it is undercard...so many subheadliners, third and fourth lines to come still, and also some significant Sahara names.
Justice is noted for having a pretty minimal stage production, certainly nowhere NEAR the Chems. Other DJs have closed the mainstage (like Tiesto twice) but he's bigger than Justice. Justice having 1 album and a smaller production probably means they won't close the mainstage. I don't really see any DJs on the horizon that will. (PS...don't get your hopes high for Outkast, not happening)
527, I agree. In fact if Deadmau5 hadn't played Coachella so recently (2010) I would almost guarantee he does. I can't really think of another DJ who could close the main stage for the first time (outside Daft Punk of course).
I was just guessing, no evidence to steer my statement towards fact.
But deadmau5's currently does have something that could easily be utilized on the main stage. To be fair we have no idea if Justice might be working on a new elaborate stage set up to go with their new album/tour....remember deadmau5's stage production prior to Coachella 2010 was nothing to lose one's shit over.
Can anybody enlighten me as to what Walter J has said that gives him such widespread credibility? I want him to be right more than anybody, but he's not. Radiohead as a fallback plan to Beasties and No Doubt? No trace of dubstep in the Sahara? He's just a very clever music fan who is listing a convincing mix of genres for Coachella (including posting many acts right after they are posted as wishlist items on the Coachella boards), but it doesn't add up. Sorry guys.
@7:26: word. I feel like he doesn't have his own blog so he can just disappear if he turns out to be wrong so he doesn't have to take the heat for his info. At least Monklish isn't a coward about it.
First and foremost, I dont visit the Coachella message boards.
If you feel like discrediting my intel because some of it coincides with some people's wishlist or educated guesses then by all means do so.
We'll see once the lineup is unveiled come January who in fact was in the know.
Concerning starting my own blog or google account as I've stated I prever contributing in this manner to protect myself and as well as my sources...I'm not here for notoriety or accolades...I'm just a Coachella goer with a bit of info willing to share if that doesn't suffice your standards I'm not here to convert you...
I think if Walter were legit he wouldn't be so defensive about things. He could just let his accuracy speak for him whenever the lineup does come out. I happen to know some of his "confirmations" are, in fact, incorrect. People with real information don't leak it.
Let the numbers speak for themselves when in fact the lineup drops.
I'm not defending Walter J but we are too far removed from an actual official line up to know for sure if in fact his intel is bs or truth. I think we should all take any info from whomever with a grain of salt or just ignore his posts.
Honestly, if Walter J is real, then the lineup looks to be amazing. If he is a fake, to so what. The guy is doing a great job at getting me stoked about the festival again after the whole 'two weekend Goldenvoice money grabbing sceme.' A lot of the artists he has mentioned WILL be there, if you think logically about things. So honestly, just have some fun with things and don't be so uptight.

Neutral Milk Hotel? Try doing a little research before throwing down a hoax list with a pipe dream like NMH. For the record, Jeff Mangum will be solo touring in the first half of 2012: http://www.mergerecords.com/blog/2011/06/jeff-mangum-announces-new-tour-dates-releases-additional-tickets-to-sold-out-boston-show/
GUYS. DAvid Bowie has NOT even HINTED that he is going out to do a tour AT ALL. it is not happening. he is not like Prince in that he will just come over here to the the west side and play for money. The dude has plenty of that. he would have to WANT to do it and at his age and with his health the last few years? he is not going to come over here for ONE show. GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEADS. I have worked for him before, he is not that guy to just do it for the cash grab.
Okay kids, here's some conversation for your ass 8/19/11: Radiohead David Bowie Daft Punk Portishead Blur Pulp At the Drive-in A Tribe Called Quest How to Destroy Angels The Knife Boards of Canada Aphex Twin Scott Walker William Shatner Jeff Mangum Burial Brian Eno
The earlier we all realize that Daft Punk, Outkast, and Bowie aren't doing it and begrudginly accept that Coldplay is pretty much a lock, the easier it will be to swallow when the lineup comes out.
First of all, Oasis? Sucks. Haa. Maybe it's just me. I like maybe two of their songs. I know, I know. Everyone likes them. I have seen there name on this blog too much!
Some of u keep saying Stones, BUT, I just do not think that there is going to be a Stones tour next year at all, so therefore I do not expect them at Coachella. There just has not been enough chatter, except from all of us that would love to see the Stones do Coachella, to believe that it is going to happen. They are old and live overseas, so they aint gonna come over for ONE show.
Bowie? Well shit..I want it. WE ALL WANT IT. But again, with the health issues that I hear he has and again the lack of evidence of a new album or tour - I just don't see it. I see it when I get high and listen to Space Oddity, oh yeah, I see THAT, but I don't see us getting him in Indio.
I stand by the findings thus far, as Radiohead just released their latest and there is talk that it is in fact the first half to a double album and the 2nd one will be out before the tour that will start at Coachella. Coldplay is a lock, they just are. I promise you. And those two alone, are the largest acts from GB that we can import, other than U2 (who I just don't see doing it) and the aforementioned Stones.
I think Foo makes sense, as they are just a hugely current band that is doing a victory lap for sureI did hear that Grohl swore to never do Chella again... Dying to know why...
I think it's a mistake for us to expect a larger than normal list of headliners, as they just seem to be shying away from that. We all thought they were going to go extra big for the 10th anniversary and they did not. We all thought they HAD to go big to modify it to two weekends, but that's just not true anymore. I hear they are more than 2/3 sold out for BOTH wknds and that took place WITHOUT a lineup!!! INSANITY, right?
Coachella is no longer about the headliners, or even the line-up it seems. It is a damn vacation destination. Like Memorial Day in Vegas or 4th Of July at Lake Havasu or New Year's Eve in NYC...people just want to be there no matter what now. People are going for all other kinds of reasons (daytime sponsored pool parties, getting that hot profile pic by the pool at the condo you rented, reshooting Mac & Me by the solar windmills).
They have not even had a crazy headliner in a long time really. This year alone they booked people that were and are very over exposed and just currently "on fire" (Kanye, Kings Of Douche and Arcade Fire). You can almost grab two of Lollapolooza's headliners any August and those two artists will surely be at Coachella the next spring. The idea that they are going after these insane headliner "gets" anymore isn't really true anymore. The last time they really got someone that doesn't usually do fests was Prince in 08 and they dusted off Rage in 07 for that amazing reunion. But other than that? It really always is people that are currently hot and on tour (See Beasties and RHCP in 03, Radiohead in 04, Coldplay and NIN in 05, Tool in 06, RHCP and Bjork in 07, Jack Johnson in 08, Killers in '09, Muse and Jay-Z in '10)...only three times have they gone crazy 80s dust-off (The Cure twice and Depeche once) and only twice have they given us classic icons in the space (Sir Paul in 09 and Roger Waters in 08). I guess Gorillaz was an out of nowhere "get" kind of...er, maybe?
So it makes sense that three HUGE bands that are on tour around then (Foo, Cold and Radio) would be the headliners. I would not expect Talking Heads (unfortunately), Outkast, Bowie, Stones, Eminem (his tour footage has been NOwhere near as good as Kanye's btw), Dr. Dre, Daft Punk and definitely no Velvet Underground.
Simply put? They do not need to spend big anymore, the audience is there and ready and they would go if the headliners were Lady Gaga, Incubus and Kid n Play...and for all we know at this point, that's exactly who it is..
I don't think GV has intentionally strayed away from booking "gets" for headliners. Although I also tend to be cynical about profitability trumping art, Paul Tollett has proven that he IS focused on providing the best possible experience and curates the festival very intensely as opposed to just throwing shit at the wall (Lollapalooza).
That being said, a festival can only book the artists that a) want to play, and b) are available to play. For the undercard that's not problem, there are literally hundreds of amazing acts that would jump at the chance to play. But when you consider how many acts are realistically big enough to headline, it really probably narrows down to 20-30 at any given time, many of which do not have new material or a tour production ready to go. Not only that, but there is no "formula"...it used to look like there HAD to be a classic rock act, then like there HAD to be a hip-hop act...I'm willing to bet next year will have neither. They really just book the best acts they can.
I remember when they announced KOL/Kanye/Arcade Fire last year (cause who really counted The Strokes as a headliner) and everybody was incredibly disappointed...but then no other festival had a strong set of headliners either. There were just not many headliner quality acts that were ready to tour so they took what they could get.
Now if GV could book Bowie, Daft Punk, Radiohead and OutKast in one Coachella they would jump at the chance. But part of what has given these acts their "legendary" status is their scarcity in the first place. The chances that any of these fictional dream headliners would be available for a Coachella performance is a stretch.
That being said, Radiohead is looking very, very good for next year (and they are by far my least favorite of the "mythical" headliners, so this isn't really wishful thinking). I'd almost be willing to say Radiohead and Coldplay are locks. Throw in a readily available but less big act (Foo Fighters, Beastie Boys, My Morning Jacket) and you have your headliners for next year, guaranteed. Let's not blow our expectations, the undercard is always where it's at anyway.
" Coachella is no longer about the headliners, or even the line-up it seems. It is a damn vacation destination.

@anon 102...almost all of your information is incorrect. First off, the last big get they had was in 08? Ummm, do you remember them getting a BEATLE in 09? Someone who's never done an American festival before? Yeah, that's Paul McCartney. What other festivals did Gorillaz headline before Coachella? What festivals did Roger Waters do? Also the first festival Kanye headlined was Coachella. So they do still get "gets".
Nobody has mentioned Oasis but you. Anybody who thinks Oasis is a proven moron. The bandmates are SUING EACH OTHER now. they are not going to tour probably ever, and if they do it's not going to be within the next 5 years.
The King of Limbs is not a 2 part album. That was wishful thinking. We've got the 12 songs that were recorded during that session now so you really are out of the loop on that one.
And Radiohead says they have no definitive tour plans, and Coachella has said they already signed the headliners, so really Radiohead isn't a lock. I don't expect them actually. But I do agree that Coldplay is a lock.
And please dear god do not have Foo Fighters headline one day. Please I beg you.
Radiohead is a lock. They will sell out the remainder of the tickets in hours, no one else would. Most people that are interested in going to Coachella already have their tickets.
Ok everyone, I've got some additions to update you on. 8/22/11:
Baths Belanova Black Sun Empire Calvin Harris Calyx Datsik Fatima Islands Lord Huron Scuba Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks The Fresh and Only's The Shins
Walter J, with your last update, it seems more and more that your lineup is matching up with the random poster on 8/17 at 5:36pm. What have you heard about the likelihood of those big acts such as Neutral Milk Hotel, the Flaming Lips, and the Knife confirming?
you should never get your ticket to Coachella in hopes of any particular band, especially a band as big as Radiohead. Chances are that any given band isn't playing, and you can see them on their tour anyway. Coachella is awesome regardless of lineup (which is always good anyway)
OK so maybe I didn't entirely get my ticket based on hopes for Radiohead but that doesn't mean I don't HOPE! It's going to be a blast regardless of Radiohead attending.
We miss u! lets send her some positivity and get her to come back and tell us SOMETHING...is any of this true Monk? your last post says u will be back for us this fall, but please dont make us wait til fall proper (i think that is sept 23rd or something like that)....most of us consider fall to begin labor day wknd...SO that being SAID, does that mean we will be graced with your presence soon my dear?! WE MISS YOU....PLEASE!!!!
Monk won't post anything until windish starts listing acts as touring in april and other sites start confirming acts in interviews and features or boardies start stalking bands and asking them if they are playing. Then she can finally swoop in with the confirmations and scoops of others and give no credit for any of them, plus her own guesses. And in later posts quietly delete the guesses that turned out wrong so she can claim a higher accuracy rating.

TOOL doesn't even have a new album and there is no way they are going to have RHCP there for the 3rd time when there are headliners like Pearl Jam and Foo and Outkast and tons others that haven't done it yet.....also if they did get either Bjork or RHCP. They would not get both, they would get one or that would be a complete repeat of two headliners from 2007!!!!!! They woud not be that lame and repeat 2/3 of a headliner lineup....they just wouldn't .....especially for the year they go to two in one wknd
NMH is releasing a box set and Jeff is touring right now. It's not out of the question to think that Coachella could get them for 12. Fuck another Bjork, RHCP, or Tool performance.
Goldenvoice is obviously trending towards more contemporary artists see: Jay-Z, Muse, Gorillaz/Kings of Leon, Arcade Fire, Kanye West, The Strokes. It's not going to be Tool or Bjork.
@Anon1041 in 2009 you'd have said GV is "trending" towards older acts. they had Prince/Roger Waters/Paul McCartney/Morrissey. They don't trend towards anything. They get the best available lineup without being too repetitive.
@Anon821 I'd be down for Tool but logistically it makes no sense. APC makes more sense than Tool.
@6:03, their reunion tour shows have been universally acclaimed as fantastic. After the shameful crowds at Faith No More and Pavement, I doubt we will ever get a reunion of that caliber again; maybe the occasional budget reunion that nobody really asked for in the first place.
Tool fanboys are almost as bad as Rage fanboys....vomit!..Fuck this presumption of a 2006/2007 rehash.
As Goldenvoice has demonstrated, they are moving towards creating new headliners from a contemporary standpoint. Fuck this Bjork, RHCP, Tool noise.
Foo Fighters, My Morning Jacket, Coldplay seem like logical safe bets...and I'm sure we'll get one of the following as a headliner.....the other two? Well lets just say that as a whole the entire trending thought process will be seriously upset.
Expect a lot of the obvious and expect to be surprised simultaneously.
Ryan Hawezzzz, there is no formula. They book the best available headliners. No "formula" (there has to be a classic rock headliner, there has to be a rapper, there has to be a up and coming band) ever lasts for more than 2 years. Plus Paul Tollett has already stated in the Desert Sun article that this year's headliners do not skew young like 2011's did, and that they don't skew young like 2008's. This likely means very established bands that are not yet "classic rock" status, and while I don't think Tool or Bjork will be there, those fit into his clues nicely.
Now we know why Walter J didn't make an account...so when he makes mistakes he can go back and say "oh that wasn't me." I think people were pretty much over him to begin with and that's the nail on the coffin. You had a good run there though man.
Sorry if my reasoning for not opening a google account doesn't satisfy you but anyway...

Armin Van Buuren Avicii Bag Raiders Das Racist Discordian Society Frankie and The Heartstrings Girls Girl Unit Grizzly Bear Plastilina Mosh Shabazz Palaces Soda Stereo Starslinger Wild Beasts
thanks for the patience amidst all the imposters and doubters
Remember when Walter J said No Doubt was headlining until all of us were like "No dude, that's just dumb, nobody wants to see No Doubt" and he defended it for a while until he realized nobody would believe it and then he said Radiohead was chosen to replace them? Yeah, that should have discredited him from the beginning. Anyone was still believing him is gullable.
^ With this being a two weekend affair this year, I am sure bands are excited to book early. This is TONS of exposure for up and commers. I am sure GV is holding a few spots at each level for "hot" bands as we approach April, but I am sure that by this point, 60-70% of the talent is booked. GV even said the headliners are cemented already, so why not get everyone else? You sir are the idiot.
I don't think you understand how Coachella booking works. The headliners have already been booked for months straight out of Paul Tollett's mouth. In fact, headliners are sometimes booked a year in advance...Arcade Fire was booked for 2011 before 2010 even ended.
Next they work on the undercard. By this point, all headliners, undercard, and major reunions are at least booked or in the final stages of negotiation. Acts base their whole touring schedule off of major festivals.
Walter J is still pulling things out of his ass, but if 75% or more of the lineup is already booked I wouldn't bat an eyelash.
If the headliners are already booked, then does that mean they are all good? I imagine acts like Foo Fighters, Coldplay, and RHCP would be backup options if they can't get someone better?
In the Desert Sun article Tollett says he expects to have the lineup complete by the end of September, so it's not out of the question that 75% of bands are already booked.

Walter J, you seem like you're a nice chap and are definitely trying to contribute and may even have the ins. However, you gotta get a blogger account man. It's not making any sense for you to keep showing up and saying "this guy isn't me, but here's what I have." It's turning into a headache. Get an account and you'll get a grip of followers from this and we'll know when it's actually you. On that note, thanks for giving us some info to let us play with. It's getting fun already.
Will justice be playing at the mainstage like then Chem bros did?
Anon 10:17
I believe it'd be hard for my sources to determine the specifics concerning their placement this early.
Although, if the production quality is close to the Chems last year the amount of draw they have would be enough to warrant a main stage placement.
If i were to guess, I'd say they get a main stage closing spot.
Would Costello be on the subheadliner line? Or a third or fourth liner?
Elvis Costello most likely wouldn't be a subheadliner. If they do the poster like they did last year though he would probably be on the second line, kind of like PJ Harvey. If they do their typical two bands on the second line than he'd likely be on the third line like Paul Weller or Leonard Cohen in 2009.
Tune-yards and james blake are trendy crap.
Walter J, if you are making all this shit up I will be so bummed...so much that I want to see, and then I sit back and realize that most of it is undercard...so many subheadliners, third and fourth lines to come still, and also some significant Sahara names.
Blogs already lack credibility, glad to see comments on said blog, from a random poster, who cannot be traced, are taken as fact.
"Walter J" @ 10:29 FAKE
Kid Cudi, The Naked & Famous, Friendly Fires, Adam Ant, QOTSA, Bowie, Mindless Sel I diligence, Garbage
Justice is noted for having a pretty minimal stage production, certainly nowhere NEAR the Chems. Other DJs have closed the mainstage (like Tiesto twice) but he's bigger than Justice. Justice having 1 album and a smaller production probably means they won't close the mainstage. I don't really see any DJs on the horizon that will. (PS...don't get your hopes high for Outkast, not happening)
Deadmau5 could easily close the main stage, sadly.
Of course Walter J is making this shit up.
527, I agree. In fact if Deadmau5 hadn't played Coachella so recently (2010) I would almost guarantee he does. I can't really think of another DJ who could close the main stage for the first time (outside Daft Punk of course).
I was just guessing, no evidence to steer my statement towards fact.
But deadmau5's currently does have something that could easily be utilized on the main stage.
To be fair we have no idea if Justice might be working on a new elaborate stage set up to go with their new album/tour....remember deadmau5's stage production prior to Coachella 2010 was nothing to lose one's shit over.
Beach House anyone?
Coldplay < Radiohead
I can't stress this enough.
Can anybody enlighten me as to what Walter J has said that gives him such widespread credibility? I want him to be right more than anybody, but he's not. Radiohead as a fallback plan to Beasties and No Doubt? No trace of dubstep in the Sahara? He's just a very clever music fan who is listing a convincing mix of genres for Coachella (including posting many acts right after they are posted as wishlist items on the Coachella boards), but it doesn't add up. Sorry guys.
lets all just get along and hope

@7:26: word. I feel like he doesn't have his own blog so he can just disappear if he turns out to be wrong so he doesn't have to take the heat for his info. At least Monklish isn't a coward about it.
Anon @7:26 & 11:26
First and foremost, I dont visit the Coachella message boards.
If you feel like discrediting my intel because some of it coincides with some people's wishlist or educated guesses then by all means do so.
We'll see once the lineup is unveiled come January who in fact was in the know.
Concerning starting my own blog or google account as I've stated I prever contributing in this manner to protect myself and as well as my sources...I'm not here for notoriety or accolades...I'm just a Coachella goer with a bit of info willing to share if that doesn't suffice your standards I'm not here to convert you...
I think if Walter were legit he wouldn't be so defensive about things. He could just let his accuracy speak for him whenever the lineup does come out. I happen to know some of his "confirmations" are, in fact, incorrect. People with real information don't leak it.
Let the numbers speak for themselves when in fact the lineup drops.
I'm not defending Walter J but we are too far removed from an actual official line up to know for sure if in fact his intel is bs or truth. I think we should all take any info from whomever with a grain of salt or just ignore his posts.
Honestly, if Walter J is real, then the lineup looks to be amazing. If he is a fake, to so what. The guy is doing a great job at getting me stoked about the festival again after the whole 'two weekend Goldenvoice money grabbing sceme.' A lot of the artists he has mentioned WILL be there, if you think logically about things. So honestly, just have some fun with things and don't be so uptight.

That's the first round of final confirmations. Walter J is right on.
Neutral Milk Hotel? Try doing a little research before throwing down a hoax list with a pipe dream like NMH. For the record, Jeff Mangum will be solo touring in the first half of 2012:
http://www.mergerecords.com/blog/2011/06/jeff-mangum-announces-new-tour-dates-releases-additional-tickets-to-sold-out-boston-show/
Erasure might be the token 80's act next year.
Look what date the first leg of that tour ends. Walter J and whoever posted that list could be right.

Pretty lights? Just move to colorado where you can see that nonsense 200 times a year.
Placebo, Morrissey, Nick Cave, David Bowie, The Cure, Depeche Mode
GUYS. DAvid Bowie has NOT even HINTED that he is going out to do a tour AT ALL. it is not happening. he is not like Prince in that he will just come over here to the the west side and play for money. The dude has plenty of that. he would have to WANT to do it and at his age and with his health the last few years? he is not going to come over here for ONE show. GET IT OUT OF YOUR HEADS. I have worked for him before, he is not that guy to just do it for the cash grab.
Outkast is not happening.
Radiohead is in, so is Coldplay, but the 3rd headliner is going to disappoint ALL of you.... Kid n Play
Pearl JAM!!!!!
will U2 ever do it anyone think?
Nobody is even saying Bowie...I think even the biggest pipedreamers have given up on that booking...
Okay kids, here's some conversation for your ass 8/19/11:
Radiohead
David Bowie
Daft Punk
Portishead
Blur
Pulp
At the Drive-in
A Tribe Called Quest
How to Destroy Angels
The Knife
Boards of Canada
Aphex Twin
Scott Walker
William Shatner
Jeff Mangum
Burial
Brian Eno
^ What a fag.
The earlier we all realize that Daft Punk, Outkast, and Bowie aren't doing it and begrudginly accept that Coldplay is pretty much a lock, the easier it will be to swallow when the lineup comes out.
At least The Black Keys won't be back to bore up the place until 2013.
First of all, Oasis? Sucks. Haa. Maybe it's just me. I like maybe two of their songs. I know, I know. Everyone likes them. I have seen there name on this blog too much!
Some of u keep saying Stones, BUT, I just do not think that there is going to be a Stones tour next year at all, so therefore I do not expect them at Coachella. There just has not been enough chatter, except from all of us that would love to see the Stones do Coachella, to believe that it is going to happen. They are old and live overseas, so they aint gonna come over for ONE show.
Bowie? Well shit..I want it. WE ALL WANT IT. But again, with the health issues that I hear he has and again the lack of evidence of a new album or tour - I just don't see it. I see it when I get high and listen to Space Oddity, oh yeah, I see THAT, but I don't see us getting him in Indio.
I stand by the findings thus far, as Radiohead just released their latest and there is talk that it is in fact the first half to a double album and the 2nd one will be out before the tour that will start at Coachella. Coldplay is a lock, they just are. I promise you. And those two alone, are the largest acts from GB that we can import, other than U2 (who I just don't see doing it) and the aforementioned Stones.
I think Foo makes sense, as they are just a hugely current band that is doing a victory lap for sureI did hear that Grohl swore to never do Chella again... Dying to know why...
I think it's a mistake for us to expect a larger than normal list of headliners, as they just seem to be shying away from that. We all thought they were going to go extra big for the 10th anniversary and they did not. We all thought they HAD to go big to modify it to two weekends, but that's just not true anymore. I hear they are more than 2/3 sold out for BOTH wknds and that took place WITHOUT a lineup!!! INSANITY, right?
Coachella is no longer about the headliners, or even the line-up it seems. It is a damn vacation destination. Like Memorial Day in Vegas or 4th Of July at Lake Havasu or New Year's Eve in NYC...people just want to be there no matter what now. People are going for all other kinds of reasons (daytime sponsored pool parties, getting that hot profile pic by the pool at the condo you rented, reshooting Mac & Me by the solar windmills).
They have not even had a crazy headliner in a long time really. This year alone they booked people that were and are very over exposed and just currently "on fire" (Kanye, Kings Of Douche and Arcade Fire). You can almost grab two of Lollapolooza's headliners any August and those two artists will surely be at Coachella the next spring. The idea that they are going after these insane headliner "gets" anymore isn't really true anymore. The last time they really got someone that doesn't usually do fests was Prince in 08 and they dusted off Rage in 07 for that amazing reunion. But other than that? It really always is people that are currently hot and on tour (See Beasties and RHCP in 03, Radiohead in 04, Coldplay and NIN in 05, Tool in 06, RHCP and Bjork in 07, Jack Johnson in 08, Killers in '09, Muse and Jay-Z in '10)...only three times have they gone crazy 80s dust-off (The Cure twice and Depeche once) and only twice have they given us classic icons in the space (Sir Paul in 09 and Roger Waters in 08). I guess Gorillaz was an out of nowhere "get" kind of...er, maybe?
So it makes sense that three HUGE bands that are on tour around then (Foo, Cold and Radio) would be the headliners. I would not expect Talking Heads (unfortunately), Outkast, Bowie, Stones, Eminem (his tour footage has been NOwhere near as good as Kanye's btw), Dr. Dre, Daft Punk and definitely no Velvet Underground.
Simply put? They do not need to spend big anymore, the audience is there and ready and they would go if the headliners were Lady Gaga, Incubus and Kid n Play...and for all we know at this point, that's exactly who it is..
I don't think GV has intentionally strayed away from booking "gets" for headliners. Although I also tend to be cynical about profitability trumping art, Paul Tollett has proven that he IS focused on providing the best possible experience and curates the festival very intensely as opposed to just throwing shit at the wall (Lollapalooza).
That being said, a festival can only book the artists that a) want to play, and b) are available to play. For the undercard that's not problem, there are literally hundreds of amazing acts that would jump at the chance to play. But when you consider how many acts are realistically big enough to headline, it really probably narrows down to 20-30 at any given time, many of which do not have new material or a tour production ready to go. Not only that, but there is no "formula"...it used to look like there HAD to be a classic rock act, then like there HAD to be a hip-hop act...I'm willing to bet next year will have neither. They really just book the best acts they can.
I remember when they announced KOL/Kanye/Arcade Fire last year (cause who really counted The Strokes as a headliner) and everybody was incredibly disappointed...but then no other festival had a strong set of headliners either. There were just not many headliner quality acts that were ready to tour so they took what they could get.
Now if GV could book Bowie, Daft Punk, Radiohead and OutKast in one Coachella they would jump at the chance. But part of what has given these acts their "legendary" status is their scarcity in the first place. The chances that any of these fictional dream headliners would be available for a Coachella performance is a stretch.
That being said, Radiohead is looking very, very good for next year (and they are by far my least favorite of the "mythical" headliners, so this isn't really wishful thinking). I'd almost be willing to say Radiohead and Coldplay are locks. Throw in a readily available but less big act (Foo Fighters, Beastie Boys, My Morning Jacket) and you have your headliners for next year, guaranteed. Let's not blow our expectations, the undercard is always where it's at anyway.
" Coachella is no longer about the headliners, or even the line-up it seems. It is a damn vacation destination. Like Memorial Day in Vegas or 4th Of July at Lake Havasu or New Year's Eve in NYC...people just want to be there no matter what now. People are going for all other kinds of reasons (daytime sponsored pool parties, getting that hot profile pic by the pool at the condo you rented, reshooting Mac & Me by the solar windmills). "
Couldn't have said it better.
^ Boo fucking hoo.
tl;dr
Anyone still claiming that Radiohead's King of Limbs might possibly be the first part of a double album shouldn't be taken seriously.
I know Radiohead keeps coming up but what makes everyone so sure they're playing?
It's WAY too early for all this. Time is going to crawl.
Walter j, were are you?
Remember when Coachella was free of all Indian headdress wearing kids just there to be cool?
I saw some dbags wearing them in 2002.
School started last week and I've had a ton of homework.
As soon as I can come up with some cool bands I'll post them.
Walter J @ 6:25
Actually I'm not a student, and no new contributions from my end isn't from lack of trying but rather from no new info from my sources.
Nine Inch Nails are booked.
@anon 102...almost all of your information is incorrect. First off, the last big get they had was in 08? Ummm, do you remember them getting a BEATLE in 09? Someone who's never done an American festival before? Yeah, that's Paul McCartney. What other festivals did Gorillaz headline before Coachella? What festivals did Roger Waters do? Also the first festival Kanye headlined was Coachella. So they do still get "gets".
Nobody has mentioned Oasis but you. Anybody who thinks Oasis is a proven moron. The bandmates are SUING EACH OTHER now. they are not going to tour probably ever, and if they do it's not going to be within the next 5 years.
The King of Limbs is not a 2 part album. That was wishful thinking. We've got the 12 songs that were recorded during that session now so you really are out of the loop on that one.
And Radiohead says they have no definitive tour plans, and Coachella has said they already signed the headliners, so really Radiohead isn't a lock. I don't expect them actually. But I do agree that Coldplay is a lock.
And please dear god do not have Foo Fighters headline one day. Please I beg you.
Coachella could easily be a one off for Radiohead.
Radiohead is a lock. They will sell out the remainder of the tickets in hours, no one else would. Most people that are interested in going to Coachella already have their tickets.
Ok everyone, I've got some additions to update you on.
8/22/11:
Baths
Belanova
Black Sun Empire
Calvin Harris
Calyx
Datsik
Fatima
Islands
Lord Huron
Scuba
Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks
The Fresh and Only's
The Shins
Thanks, more to come.
@Walter J, so where are the "great" additions? These are a yawn and a half. Why would Islands be there and not Mister Heavenly?
Spoke with guys from Grouplove the other night. Go ahead and count them in as a confirmed act!!!!
Walter J, with your last update, it seems more and more that your lineup is matching up with the random poster on 8/17 at 5:36pm. What have you heard about the likelihood of those big acts such as Neutral Milk Hotel, the Flaming Lips, and the Knife confirming?
so, Monk
throw us a line here will ya?
anything you've heard remotely near to some of the predictions being thrown around?
it is YOUR blog, why don't you start contributing? who knows, it might just stir up the pot and provide more hits :)
Cibo Matto?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PKSlMpkw28&list=FL48fpNgxO-k1yGwoLuJDYzQ&index=4
So a James Murphy DJ set is definitely happening!!! In fact he's already booked. See ya in the Sahara!!!!
juan maclean live
Word On the street is, Coachella might be pushing the dates back to august. You'll see in a few weeks.
August in Indio would be perfect.
What street are you talking about you moron?
Coachella would never move to August. As if it is not hot enough in April, having a festival in Indio during August is almost a safety hazard.
I've already got my ticket in hopes or Radiohead. Please let it be true.
Walter j, were are you?
Any updates?
Friday: Eminem
Saturday: Radiohead
Sunday: Tool
you should never get your ticket to Coachella in hopes of any particular band, especially a band as big as Radiohead. Chances are that any given band isn't playing, and you can see them on their tour anyway. Coachella is awesome regardless of lineup (which is always good anyway)
@851 I doubt it, but Sat and Sun would be awesome in that scenario
Foo Fighters
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Lady Gaga
Deadmau5
Florence & the Machine, Vampire Weekend, TV on the Radio, Justice, Franz Ferdinand, Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, MGMT, The Shins
^ lol
Arguably the worst Coachella ever.
Yeasayer is booked! See ya at the outdoor stage!!!
@Walter j
What about flying lotus?
@ Anon 10:31
Is that the MTV VMA lineup or something you are actually hoping for?
Radiohead & TOOL are confirmed. Coldplay not happening. 3rd headliner Beasties/Eminem.
Will not be there: Radiohead
Coldplay
Daft Punk
Beastie Boys
Rolling Stones
Foo Fighters
That's my prediction. I guess we'll have to wait and see if I'm right.
OK so maybe I didn't entirely get my ticket based on hopes for Radiohead but that doesn't mean I don't HOPE! It's going to be a blast regardless of Radiohead attending.
Lineup form anon at 10:31 is pretty horrendous but would not be surprising after this year.
more updates???
monklish is fucking retarded
Fun fact: Bjork will be there with her pendulum.
go back to Pakistan faggot spammer
HOW ABPIUT We beg Monklish to write something?!
We miss u! lets send her some positivity and get her to come back and tell us SOMETHING...is any of this true Monk? your last post says u will be back for us this fall, but please dont make us wait til fall proper (i think that is sept 23rd or something like that)....most of us consider fall to begin labor day wknd...SO that being SAID, does that mean we will be graced with your presence soon my dear?! WE MISS YOU....PLEASE!!!!
MONK! MONK! MONK!!!
come back, some of us are very thankful for you! :)
mooooonk

pleeeease
if u watched the VMAs tonite, u would know that YOUNG THE GIANT just confirmed themselves as a band for the 2012 line-up #fact
what up with all the bands with "The" in the middle?? Foster The People, Cage The Elephant, and Young The Giant??
Monk won't post anything until windish starts listing acts as touring in april and other sites start confirming acts in interviews and features or boardies start stalking bands and asking them if they are playing. Then she can finally swoop in with the confirmations and scoops of others and give no credit for any of them, plus her own guesses. And in later posts quietly delete the guesses that turned out wrong so she can claim a higher accuracy rating.
Been about a week or so since my last update. What I lack in quantity, I make up for in quality
8/29/11
The Knife
Underworld
I'll keep the updates coming as the information becomes available!
Monklish does not have the internet's highest accuracy rating. Math, bitches.
It's obvious that Monklish doesn't just "copy and paste from the message board" like some of you idiots think.

No Adele???? Hard to believe tha lineup with no Adele and no Huuuge reunion
Neutral Milk Hotel isn't a huge reunion? Also, Outkast could be one of the hip hop artists that that post is leaving out
Walter J @11:50
False
That duplicate lineup is WAY too stacked. Not happening
Walter J, it would make life for all of us much easier if you would just make a Google account.
It's not a Neutral Milk Hotel reunion, it's just Jeff.
Any lineup that doesn't include TOOL is inaccurate.
Bjork
RHCP
Tool
yup...
TOOL doesn't even have a new album and there is no way they are going to have RHCP there for the 3rd time when there are headliners like Pearl Jam and Foo and Outkast and tons others that haven't done it yet.....also if they did get either Bjork or RHCP. They would not get both, they would get one or that would be a complete repeat of two headliners from 2007!!!!!! They woud not be that lame and repeat 2/3 of a headliner lineup....they just wouldn't .....especially for the year they go to two in one wknd
NMH is releasing a box set and Jeff is touring right now. It's not out of the question to think that Coachella could get them for 12. Fuck another Bjork, RHCP, or Tool performance.
Bjork, RHCP, and Tool would sell out both weekends easily...
What's a google?
Walter J with a google account @ 6:18
Just another imposter, pay no mind to any of his input.
I have stated that I wouldn't make a google account nor do I plan to do so.
This person just jumped the gun and created one so people will listen.
Thread carefully.
Goldenvoice is obviously trending towards more contemporary artists see: Jay-Z, Muse, Gorillaz/Kings of Leon, Arcade Fire, Kanye West, The Strokes. It's not going to be Tool or Bjork.
My input is summarized well in this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdBn5G7Y2RA
@Anon1041 in 2009 you'd have said GV is "trending" towards older acts. they had Prince/Roger Waters/Paul McCartney/Morrissey. They don't trend towards anything. They get the best available lineup without being too repetitive.
@Anon821 I'd be down for Tool but logistically it makes no sense. APC makes more sense than Tool.
contd from above
@WalterJ 12:26 that's perfect. couldn't say it better myself.
@ Anon 9:34 Tool has a new album out in May. Just saying.
Also, word on my well connected block is the TOOL rumors are true. If what I'm hearing is true the headliners are:
Bjork
Radiohead
TOOL
2 3rd time headliners in one year? not happening. Plus, Tool's new album has been "coming out" for 2 years now.
Back with an update, and it's a big one

ummm skrillex?. . .again?
I wouldn't be surprised if Skrillex was booked again.
whats the whole hype about Pulp anyways? their not that great.
lol to Skrillex playing again
Walter J @1:15 is an imposter.
I will have an update for sure tommorow though.
ditto bout Skrillex.
@6:03, their reunion tour shows have been universally acclaimed as fantastic. After the shameful crowds at Faith No More and Pavement, I doubt we will ever get a reunion of that caliber again; maybe the occasional budget reunion that nobody really asked for in the first place.
Maynard rumored to perform twice each weekend.
APC as a sub on Friday & Tool headlining Sunday.
OFWGKTA, Lady Gaga, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Spoon, Beirut, Postal Service, Modest Mouse, Lupe Fiasco, K'naan, Jay Z
Having Tool and A Perfect Circle would definitely sell a ton of tickets. Maynard fanboys are crazy like that.
Tool fanboys are almost as bad as Rage fanboys....vomit!..Fuck this presumption of a 2006/2007 rehash.
As Goldenvoice has demonstrated, they are moving towards creating new headliners from a contemporary standpoint. Fuck this Bjork, RHCP, Tool noise.
Foo Fighters, My Morning Jacket, Coldplay seem like logical safe bets...and I'm sure we'll get one of the following as a headliner.....the other two? Well lets just say that as a whole the entire trending thought process will be seriously upset.
Expect a lot of the obvious and expect to be surprised simultaneously.
Ryan Hawezzzz, there is no formula. They book the best available headliners. No "formula" (there has to be a classic rock headliner, there has to be a rapper, there has to be a up and coming band) ever lasts for more than 2 years. Plus Paul Tollett has already stated in the Desert Sun article that this year's headliners do not skew young like 2011's did, and that they don't skew young like 2008's. This likely means very established bands that are not yet "classic rock" status, and while I don't think Tool or Bjork will be there, those fit into his clues nicely.
Eminem/Beasties
Radiohead
TOOL
It's happening.
There's nothing "logical" about My Morning Jacket headlining. Get over it.
"But they headlined Sasquatch!"
So did Ween and Massive Attack. They're not headliners either.
i know how you get your sources!
shame on you Walter j
Now we know why Walter J didn't make an account...so when he makes mistakes he can go back and say "oh that wasn't me." I think people were pretty much over him to begin with and that's the nail on the coffin. You had a good run there though man.
Sorry if my reasoning for not opening a google account doesn't satisfy you but anyway...
As promised here is an update.

Avicii

thanks for the patience amidst all the imposters and doubters
Remember when Walter J said No Doubt was headlining until all of us were like "No dude, that's just dumb, nobody wants to see No Doubt" and he defended it for a while until he realized nobody would believe it and then he said Radiohead was chosen to replace them? Yeah, that should have discredited him from the beginning. Anyone was still believing him is gullable.
Wtf Monk?
RHCP are booked...but don't worry kids, so is the Knife and I foresee a very fortunate conflict that night :)
Trolling
No:
Bjork
Coldplay
DP
Skrillex

Radiohead
TOOL
Lil Wayne
MMJ
Wild Flag
Monk! Ou est vous?
Please start a new post.
There's no way this much of the lineup is booked this far in advance. You're all so completely gullible.
^ With this being a two weekend affair this year, I am sure bands are excited to book early. This is TONS of exposure for up and commers. I am sure GV is holding a few spots at each level for "hot" bands as we approach April, but I am sure that by this point, 60-70% of the talent is booked. GV even said the headliners are cemented already, so why not get everyone else? You sir are the idiot.
Walter J, didn't you say Coldplay, Outkast, Beasties, and Radiohead were headlining? Is this still the case?
Outkast is absolutely not playing. Sorry, folks.
@Anon 8:17:
I don't think you understand how Coachella booking works. The headliners have already been booked for months straight out of Paul Tollett's mouth. In fact, headliners are sometimes booked a year in advance...Arcade Fire was booked for 2011 before 2010 even ended.
Next they work on the undercard. By this point, all headliners, undercard, and major reunions are at least booked or in the final stages of negotiation. Acts base their whole touring schedule off of major festivals.
Walter J is still pulling things out of his ass, but if 75% or more of the lineup is already booked I wouldn't bat an eyelash.
If the headliners are already booked, then does that mean they are all good? I imagine acts like Foo Fighters, Coldplay, and RHCP would be backup options if they can't get someone better?
Re:
anon @9:39 yes, as far as I'm concerned.
anon @10:59 I'm in agreeance minus the part about making up all the acts I've contributed as confirmations.
I, however will be willing to admit in the case that my source has provided me with inncurate information.
Any list that doesn't contain Garbage is incomplete.
All three headliners will be third time headliners.
In the Desert Sun article Tollett says he expects to have the lineup complete by the end of September, so it's not out of the question that 75% of bands are already booked.
Headliners:
TOOL
Lady Gaga
Radiohead
outkast, madlib, the wailers, pete rock vs. dj premier, fatboy slim, beats antique, cotton jones, shabazz palaces, the roots, doom
Any word on Kasabian or Tribe?..
Metallica and Lou Reed.
Unfortunately you heard it here first...
so, whats the word on the street Walter j?

Walter J lies. How can Soda Stereo be already booked if their lead singer and guitarist is in coma?. That's messed up.

Red Hot Chili Peppers
My Morning Jacket
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Bon Iver
TV on the Radio

^coachella is the center of the universe and so is this blog.
Does anyone have the link to this desert sun article about coachella 2012 with paul tollett??
Radiohead-Coldplay-Beastie Boys
Foo Fighters-RHCP-Bjork-The Flaming Lips-TV on the Radio-Bon Iver-Fleet Foxes- will all probably be there...
I would freak out if The Knife, Justice, or How to Destroy Angels are on the roster.
Also Underworld, Massive Attack, or Aphex Twin would be nice;)
