«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 768 Newer› Newest»not playing yr festival bc u all suck
I gave you the Killers, and to prove myself, the other two headliners have a combined total of 22 letters in their names.
Little Birdy is correct again.
"My favorite fake "insider" is the concern troll insider:
"Hey guize, I'm only giving this inside info becuz I'm so disappointed. Trust me that I know stuffs. My disappointment is big proof of that."
Fuck off and die in hell."
400 years on, and people are still shooting the messenger.
2:53, Mumford and Sons + Pearl Jam
I said "not Pearl Jam"

Please tell me that one is fake

@517, Green Day?
I want that poster to come true
Wrong. No Killers. And the total number of letters for all three headliners is 37.
the poster has never leaked on here early, they make the poster a day or two before they release it so it's not real...
but if 533 poster's was real I'd be sooooo happy.
Little bird give us solid info or GTFO
Hi guyz my name is alzo little birdy xoxo
Nah, I'm finished. This is my final post of the season. The Killers + 22 letters motherfuckers. Check back in a couple of months and you'll see I'm right.
The Killers playing KROQ acoustic XMAS and being in Mexico during weekend 1 = not playing Coachella. Nice try to. Little Birdy = this year's Walter J (who was also completely full of shit but a lot of you believed).
Killers, Kings of Leon, Depeche Mode.
Let the boardies riot!
"The Killers playing KROQ acoustic XMAS and being in Mexico during weekend 1 = playing Coachella."
ftfy
Nine Inch Nails will be there, not HTDA, and with Trent also working on QOTSA song (with Dave Grohl drumming)...2013 is looking like it will be the best!
You idiots think The Killers are going to headline on Sunday after playing the two previous nights in Mexico? Jesus, the retardation runs deep here.
Go ahead and find me a single headliner in the history of Coachella that has played their headlining slot after playing the two nights before. Oh you can't? BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING STUPID.
Who the fuck wants an exhausted band and a singer whose voice is shot being on the third night in a row? NO ONE. Coachella wouldn't allow it, and the band would be fucking stupid to do it.
Little Birdy is 100% full of shit. Case closed.
Little Birdy rapes goats
Little Birdy just sucked my cock and swallowed my juicy load of cum. He giggled as it dribbled down his chin.
^ go on...
"You idiots think The Killers are going to headline on Sunday after playing the two previous nights in Mexico? "
I don't think. I know.
"Jesus, the retardation runs deep here."
Yes, yes it does.
"Little Birdy is 100% full of shit. Case closed."
You are going to feel very stupid in 2 months
"Nine Inch Nails will be there, not HTDA"
Wrong
Blur?
Red Hot Chili Peppers?
The Killers
You can either believe history, precedent, and common sense, or you can believe a dumb cunt of a troll who also "knew" that the Rolling Stones and Daft Punk were playing in 2010.
Go ahead, take your pick.
Jesus Christ, shut the fuck up Anonymous. Stop spamming every thread on the internet!
No, I'm right, NIN will be there, if HTDA ends up there too, then that's just an added bonus!
Atoms for Peace, Blur, and Sigur Ros as subs already makes this a great lineup.
"You can either believe history, precedent, and common sense, or you can believe a dumb cunt of a troll who also "knew" that the Rolling Stones and Daft Punk were playing in 2010."
Or you can be an even dumber cunt who thinks that only one person on the internet calls themselves "Little Birdy."
Don't you get it? A "Little Birdy" told me? Eh? Eh?
I'm not going to make love to you, Little Birdy. I'm going to fuck you. Hard.
Why the fuck are The Killers playing in Mexico on April 12th and 13th, with the 14th open, and completely open the following weekend? I'm getting nervous...it's only a 2-3 hour flight from Mexico City to Palm Springs. Why would Paul Tollett do this? WHYYYYYYY?
^ He didn't. When a band headlines a major festival they are jacked up for it and want to nail that performance. They wouldn't be playing two shows on back to back nights the few days before. The Killers are also one of the worst headliners in Coachella history, they will not be there. Fact.
Except they will. There are many logical reasons why they and their co-headliners might not, but facts trump. In 2 months, you're going to be Dick Morris, and I'll be Nate Silver.
Coachella wants headliners on the top of their game, which is why they would NEVER even allow a huge name headliner to play their headlining Coachella night as the THIRD night in a row of performances.
Radiohead played Wed/Thur in Mexico, then Sat at Coachella in Wk 1. Played Tue/Wed in Mex, then Sat in Wk 2. That's the biggest name in music right now, and even they had to have at least 1/2 days off in between.
The fucking Killers are nowhere near that level, and you're a goddamn moron if you think Golden Voice would allow a third-rate headliner like them to give Coachella a sloppy thirds performance when they're barely even headliner material to begin with.
Little Birdy is either dumb as a fucking rock, or is being lied to by some bullshit "friend" who claims to know shit. Either way, ignore the dumbfuck.
Every single available sign and piece of information points the other direction. Deal with it.
Radiohead A)has high expectations of their own performances, and B)has fans who also have high expectations.
The Killers A)fucking suck and can mail in a performance the same as nailing a performance, and B)have fans who wouldn't know the difference.
"The fucking Killers are nowhere near that level, and you're a goddamn moron if you think Golden Voice would allow a third-rate headliner like them to give Coachella a sloppy thirds performance when they're barely even headliner material to begin with."
GV signed the Killers to headline before, and have signed them to do so again. Do all facts make you this angry?
just for fun...
Jack White + Yeah Yeah Yeahs = 22 letters
Red Hot Chili Peppers + (Tool or Muse) = 22 letters
Mumford and Sons + (Green Day or deadmau5) = 22 letters
Math puzzles?
Anyone know if The Knife is playing this year?
Monk
tell us who is NOT gonna be there....
The fact that the Killers headlined 4 years ago -- and are widely regarded as one of the weakest/worst headliners in Coachella history -- is better evidence that they WON'T be there in 2013.
The expansion to 2 weekends requires BIGGER AND BETTER names, not a rehash of a previous shitty headliner that is FAR LESS POPULAR AND RELEVANT today than they were in 2009.
All the evidence surrounding the Killers points to them not headlining, and it's going to take something more than an anonymous nobody to change that.
Next!
I think we can all agree that sigur ros will be there. http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/
"All the evidence surrounding the Killers points to them not headlining, and it's going to take something more than an anonymous nobody to change that."
How about a lineup announcement?
I can't believe this discussion is even taking place.
In order to believe The Killers will be a headliner, you also have to believe that Paul Tollett and the management of Coachella are unbelievably desperate and stupid, that there are no other bigger names for Sunday they could have gotten, and that they completely misread the popularity and status of the Killers (which is 2nd tier at best, probably 3rd tier, and absolutely at a point far lower than they were 4-5 years ago) in today's music market.
Any reputable music journalist or label head could have told you before Battle Born dropped that it was not expected to be big, and that the Killers star had faded far enough that they're no longer in high demand. You really think Tollett isn't also aware of that fact?
If you buy that reality, then sure, the Killers are a headliner. Only an idiot would buy that though. The Coachella track record is filled with many successes and a few random failures, of which the Killers were clearly one of those failures. To think they would repeat that failure so soon after it occurred and get burned again by the same fading band with zero buzz in an era of 2 weekends which requires massive names? Ludicrous.
The Killers = Portishead
Daft Punk = Prince
i shot up with kiedis. n a lil birdy told me they were playing/
Just discovered this blog, and it's hilarious. You people are really worried about The Killers headlining?
Jack Johnson has better odds.
I lied about everything.
...
I kinda disagree with everyone saying that the Killers couldn't potentially headline. They did it before, and if Tollet needs a cheap headliner if he went out and spent a lot of money to get a big name another night it could be possible. I think they would more likely co-headline a night like the Strokes did. Plus, Coachella almost sells out now in the presale and the lineup has almost become irrelevant now. It's a bummer but it's the world we live in now. Coachella has become hipster and trendy.
No way the Killers headline, Coachella always saves either the currently biggest name to headline or the band that is a rare get.
2012 - Dre. (Rare)
2011 - Kanye (had the album of the year)
2010- Gorillaz (were a rare performance)
2009 - The Cure (legend fuckin dary)
2008 - Roger Waters
I won't go one because I haven't been to other Coachella's. No way in hell the Killers close Coachella. Anyone honestly that thinks that, has no idea what they are talking about. Mumford and Sons would be a better closer.
"Coachella almost sells out now in the presale and the lineup has almost become irrelevant now"
This one gets it.
"Mumford and Sons would be a better closer."
Right. But The Killers have seniority, so Mumford is billed below them.
"You idiots think The Killers are going to headline on Sunday after playing the two previous nights in Mexico? Jesus, the retardation runs deep here.
Go ahead and find me a single headliner in the history of Coachella that has played their headlining slot after playing the two nights before. Oh you can't? BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING STUPID.
Who the fuck wants an exhausted band and a singer whose voice is shot being on the third night in a row? NO ONE. Coachella wouldn't allow it, and the band would be fucking stupid to do it.
Little Birdy is 100% full of shit. Case closed."
Exactly. Anyone stupid enough to think otherwise needs to kill themselves in a most spectacular fashion.
If that happened, there would be no more Coachella. No more Goldenvoice at least.
But keep on setting yourself up for epic failure if you insist.
Never in the history of lineup speculation has an actual "insider" been right when they end a post with "you'll see in two months."
Me thinks little birds is lonely, sad, and needs attention.
I just took a huge dump and now my loins are quivering.
So have we transitioned from anger to bargaining?

My alter ego will be along shortly to confirm I'm right.
^ Little birdy is correct. I have multiple friends in the industry and unfortunately this is the shit lineup we get this year.
the killers closing sunday...u sir are a idiot
sigur ros is basically confirmed, correct?
9:27pm - you nail it on the head. Wonderful way to kill the notion the Killers will be anywhere near Indio next April. Praise the Gods.
I haven't run the numbers but doesn't the "big and best" fake poster end up being just as accurate as Monk? If yes, 2013 should be fantastic but Atoms for Peace as a headliner is a stretch. NIN also seems too easy a pick to be real. Ahhh fuck, I'm bored.
"9:27pm - you nail it on the head. Wonderful way to kill the notion the Killers will be anywhere near Indio next April."
...until January
All this talk makes me glad that after going 05 06 07 09 10 11, I gave it up because it started to SUCK. When bands like the Killers, Gorillaz, Dre and Snoop are headlining then its time to move on. Austin Psych Fest here I come.
@5:19 Kill yourself
my dick is headlining friday night.
Austin Psych Fest lol
Not a bad choice if you want the Black Angels to headline your shitty festival year after year.
With that said I'll keep Coachella. Fuck Austin and it's "we wish we were LA" ways. Nothing's worse than a city full of small town wannabes turned hipster all because they didn't have the financial backing to become a University of Texas frat boy. So instead you joined the cheapest, shittiest, gimmicky frat of them all.
Austin Psych Fest. Get that shit out of my face.
AHAHAHAHA. You don't know shit about Austin.
Everyone knows Austin sucks. It's cool. Plus it's in the "Lone Star State." Don't you guys pistol whip gays? Get your backwards ass state out of my face.
@1036
You obviously don't know shit about the rest of the world if you're still living in Texas.
And Mac Brown is an asshole.
something about steers queers and george bush jr.....
daft punk comes from france
You are so cute when you're angry.
I've prayed to fuck every night since the election that Texas secedes. That happening would be the greatest moment in our nation's history. Get those mother fucking pea-brained Longhorn rednecks out of the great U.S.
Oh, and ban them from Coachella, too, please.
I'm really looking forward to this future post from Little Birdy:
"I was actually right and The Killers WERE booked at one point, but then things fell apart and it ended up not working out. That's why you don't see them on the poster. But believe me, they were definitely booked when I made that claim."
The excuses are coming. Oh, yes, they are coming.
No they aren't, and neither is your tail-between-the-legs post when it's announced that The Killers are headlining. Move past denial.
HARDWELL is confirmed. If you go to his tour dates on his facebook page, he has coachella listed.

HEADLINERS:
Daft Punk
Eminem
Pearl Jam
SUBS:
Blur
Queens of the Stone Age
Deadmau5
Skrillex
Stone Roses
Wu Tang
Hot Chip
Mumford and Sons
Phoenix
Fiona Apple
Garbage
Violent Femmes
Underworld
Johnny Marr
none of u know SHIT. there are soooo many possibilities for headliners this yr its insane. To say that any of us know who the 3 to 4 headliners are, is just STUPID. Really. SOO many options this yr as so many people are heading out to tour and so many with new material!
The headliners will be from this list below, there are no other options. Tell me if I missed someone, but I think its pretty thorough.
Potential Headliners:
Eminem (new album due in 2013)
Watch The Throne (new album due in 2013)
Muse (new album)
The Who (on tour and doing a specific album ala Waters doing Dark Side in 08)
Pearl Jam (new album and 20 yr anniversary of doing polo fields)
Nine Inch Nails (teased that they are gonna do more shows)
Mumford and Sons (new album)
RHCP (just released an album)
TOOL (new album out next yr)
Depeche Mode (tour announced and no LA dates)
Tom Petty (could happen any year now)
Green Day (THREE new albums, i hope they would be considered too Lollapolooza but who knows)
No Doubt (ugh, I hope not, but new album and Orange County peeps love 'em)
Rolling Stones (they announced final shows, two in London, two in NYC and well.... Chella could fill the two for LA area...??)
Jack White (some say he is a sub, but I disagree, he could headline or co-headline ala Strokes & Kanye)
Atoms For Peace (they could easily co-headline with Jack actually, that could make sense)
Stevie Wonder (tours constantly, only a matter of time before he does Coachella - has done Outside Lands and Bonnaroo)
Beastie Boys and Run DMC final shows (I could see them making Sunday a night dedicated to MCA, I really could. Imagine if they had Run DMC, Q-Tip, Biz Markie and DMC filling in for MCA's lyrics and shit!! That would be amazing. DMC just did Fun Fun Fun Fest and apparently it was a blast. These guys toured together in the late 80s and it could be a nice full circle thing showing what the Beasties and DMC did for rap and thus the headliners that have already done Chella. I could see this. Ad Rock is doing a solo show in LA at Largo in December, so that is one of them getting back out there. Lets see what happen, but I would not rule this out. It is topical, cool and they could do it the way the Dre night was all about showing just how many people got their break due to the Doctor!! I think they could make it a Beasties presents show and just fill it with special guests and do Beasties songs!! They would not do the cheesy hologram though. They'd do it cooler and classier).
NOT POSSIBLE:
Led Zeppelin (come on...)
Pink Floyd (nope, nada)
The Killers (Mexico thing doesn't make sense and no one liked their set in 09)
Bowie (dude is SICK)
The Smiths (get over it)
Talking Heads (nope, will not happen)
Beyonce (just does not fit, could sub maybe, but not headline)
Kings Of Leon (why are people actually listing this as a possibility???)
GNR (never happening, just ask Slash)
Ok I'll ask Slash.
"none of u know SHIT. there are soooo many possibilities for headliners this yr its insane. To say that any of us know who the 3 to 4 headliners are, is just STUPID"
Wrong, I and Little Birdy and one other know the headliners. They have been posted in one of these threads. They include one of your "NOT POSSIBLE"s.
The Three headliners are...
Outkast
Nine Inch Nails
Daft Punk
You're welcome.
Big Boi will be promoting his sophomore effort in 2013. There will be no Outkast with 2 years.
@626
The Killers aren't headlining dumbass.
Yes they are, dumbass.
"The Three headliners are...
Outkast
Nine Inch Nails
Daft Punk
You're welcome."
We can all hope that's the case in 2014, but the kids would be all like "who?"
@912
You love the Killers don't you?
@912
I'm a dumbass? Have you even checked out the Killers dates lately? They have shows in Mexico both April 12 and 13th? So you're trying to tell us they are closing the festival on Sunday following 2 straight gigs on that same weekend?
GET REAL YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT!
Killers are OFFICIALLY OUT.
Pearl Jam
Eminem
Daft Punk
@912
Dumbass.
"@912
You love the Killers don't you?"
No, I've never been able to stomach enough of their music to really even be able to tell you what they sound like.

Yes, I've checked the dates, and yes, I'm trying to tell you that, because I know it to be a fact.

From this point forward, anyone that mentions the killers as a headliner, no one should even respond to them, because it is just destroying productivity on this blog.
There is no productivity on this blog until the next lineup update.
And the dolt touting The Killers as a headliner is just a random tool that saw their tour dates and knows nothing about Coachella.
Rather than looking at them and realizing they immediately eliminate them as a headliner -- as anyone with a fucking brain would do given Coachella wouldn't allow a headliner to play their festival on the third of three nights in a row -- this dumbfuck stepped in a pile of shit with his prediction and now feels like he has to keep defending it even though it makes no fucking sense on any level.
Look at how mad everyone is about the Killers.
"And the dolt touting The Killers as a headliner is just a random tool that saw their tour dates and knows nothing about Coachella."
No, I learned they were headlining before their dates were announced.
Dumbfuck.
it's the Killers Conumdrum
So they scheduled the two Mexico City gigs AFTER they signed Coachella?
NOW you're making sense!!
dumbfuck!
some people in here have old information. from what I understand, the Killers are a backup headliner. they were on the short-list, but much bigger fish have now been caught...
Monk, it's about time to drop another post! please!!!
"some people in here have old information. from what I understand, the Killers are a backup headliner. they were on the short-list, but much bigger fish have now been caught..."
some people don't understand how contracts work
Given The Killers status as minnows, it's pretty much impossible to believe that GV was unable to secure bigger fish and settled for a tired retread when the ascension of the festival relies on booking whales.
tell Portishead how contracts work.
"Given The Killers status as minnows blah blah blah..."
http://www.nme.com/news/the-killers/67149
No way Goldenvoice would book the Killers as festival closers even if they had two months off before the show. It's fucking Coachella:
Rage Against the Machine
Roger Waters
The Cure
Gorrilaz
Kanye West
Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg
The KILLERS (promoting an album that's had their weakest sales to date).
Sure that makes sense.
Past performance is not an indicator of future results.
Y'all are overthinking this. You really only need to ask yourself one question to determine if it's plausible: When was the last time Coachella had a headliner that would be as shitty and disappointing as The Killers would be this year?
Oh right, it was the FUCKING KILLERS in 2009.
No further debate necessary.
"http://www.nme.com/news/the-killers/67149"
Guess who else played Wembley? TAKE THAT. Must be a Coachella headliner.
If they were playing Texas Stadium, it might be relevant.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Wc07-audtk&noredirect=1
Daft Punk new song
enough about headliners
lets make some reunion talk and rare gets around here
i know everyone has a hard-on for Stone Roses and Blur and both do seem likely, but what else?
Tom Waits would be a cool get.
What about The Fall? They could be there, Jeff Mangum just picked them to be at All Tomorrow's Parties last March.
"Guess who else played Wembley? TAKE THAT. Must be a Coachella headliner."
The Killers, a nominally "indie" (check their song title) band from Las Vegas, are a headlining arena act in America with sales of nearly 5 million records on the strength of 13 charting singles WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY HEADLINED COACHELLA.
Take That, a boy band from Manchester, has charted just once in the US, in 1995, has never gone gold here, and whose last attempt to get any sort of gig in the US, a bid for a one-off opening slot at a Kylie Minogue show at the Hollywood Bowl, got denied when Kaskade was invited instead.
Are you going to tell me next that Radiohead isn't a Coachella headliner because they play the same venues as NKOTBSB? Idiot.
"Past performance is not an indicator of future results" -> TRUE
I have to poop.
Past poops are no indicator of future poops.
don't feel bad, the Killers make us all want to poop.
everyone needs to stop freaking out about The Killers...seriously, they ARE NOT coming back, no need to worry
you heard it hear two hundred eightieth!
I think that Blur would headline over the Killers at this point.
People should stop caring if The Killers headline because there are other stages... or you can simply leave early and beat the traffic / go back to the campgrounds. Shut the fuck up.
If you think Blur can headline then you're a fucking retard.
lolz...oh you.
"The Killers, a nominally "indie" (check their song title) band from Las Vegas, are a headlining arena act in America with sales of nearly 5 million records on the strength of 13 charting singles WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY HEADLINED COACHELLA."
Latest record, opened at #3 (113k in sales) Billboard and then sank like a fucking rock with squat for radio airplay, currently at #98, 8 weeks later.
Comparable with an actual headliner that dropped a new album around the same time:
Mumford - open #1 (600k), 7 weeks later, still at #7, airplay out your ass.
That's the gap between headline material and sub-head. Learn it. Live it. Love it.
Killers haven't had a radio hit in half a decade. The fact that the Brits still care about them doesn't mean shit in terms of Coachella.
The Brits like Blur even more than the Killers :D
"That's the gap between headline material and sub-head. Learn it. Live it. Love it."
What are you going to do when you learn that the Killers are headlining and Mumford are a sub? Throw yourself into the 100-year wave? Shave your head and join a monastery? Write "I am a moron" 100 times in a comment thread?
Mumford subbed 2 years ago, and has skyrocketed since then. Killers headlined 4 years ago and sank like a stone since then.
You make no sense, but keep repeating the bullshit to convince yourself.
Congratulations, you've convinced yourself. And NO ONE ELSE.
Let me explain this to you.
You are trying to figure things out.
I am telling you what is actually happening.
End of story.
hey buddy, I believe you. I will feel better about the Killers, RHCP, and Muse headlining if the subs are great. Do you know if Underworld, or Prodigy, or any other legit electronic artists have been signed?
Hey everybody, Dick Morris is telling us what's going to happen. Everybody listen real close!
Hilarious.
Little Birdy = Dick Morris
Killers tour dates = current poll data.
Buh. Bye.
Muse have two dates at Staples in January. They headlined in 2010. Their tour dates are all on the East Coast in April.
No chance.
AIRPLANES
lol, i think it's funny that anybody would believe someone posting anonymously on some second-rate blog. 0 of the information posted in here is meaningful at all.
"I will feel better about the Killers, RHCP, and Muse headlining if the subs are great."
Coachella would not put 3 alt rock bands together as headliners in the same year. The odds of that happening are about the same as Eminem, Watch The Throne, and Lil Wayne all headlining the same year.
100% not happening.
Why is anyone arguing with the dude saying the killers will headline? He's obviously trolling.
My brother-in-law works for William Morris, who represents the Killers, and he had a good laugh when I asked him about them playing Coachella.
Coachella aside, has anyone heard anything about The Knife? I know a few years ago they said album in 2012 but has there been any news since then?
props to this killers troll, fucking dedicated
"Coachella would not put 3 alt rock bands together as headliners in the same year. The odds of that happening are about the same as Eminem, Watch The Throne, and Lil Wayne all headlining the same year.
100% not happening."
Hilarious
We need a new post listing Sigur Ros, Nick Cave, Hardwell, etc
"Hilarious."
Hilarious.
i fucking hate that band, but its hard to write them off considering theyre headlining lollapalooza brasil and playing mexico with an open coachella date right after. scares the piss out of me, and i really hope it doesnt happen, but i wouldnt write it off. subs at best nowadays hopefully. i just dont see how in the fuck coachella would have them close the festival. especially how bad they suck/how bad they sucked at coachella, and the track record of closing artists over the years. just doesnt make a lot of sense.
On this Thanksgiving, I'm thankful to know that Little Birdy and everyone else who thinks the Killers are headlining, are spending the holiday together sucking and fuckin each others butt holes
^^Amen brother. Don't forgot lathering each other in peanut butter and stroking each other's tiny cocks while listening to the Killers.
Is that what people at GoldenVoice, AEG, William Morris, ICM, CAA, and Q-Prime, etc. do in their spare time?
Wish someone would lather my tiny cock up with peanut butter and listen to the Killers with me.
"Coachella would not put 3 alt rock bands together as headliners in the same year (...) 100% not happening"
Just look between Coachella 1999 and Coachella 2009 headliners... now say "I'M SORRY" and leave.
YOU REALLY MUST BE NEW HERE
THE KILLERS ARE NEVER COMING BACK TO COACHELLA, NINE INCH NAILS ON THE OTHER HAND...
Depeche Mode and Blur are for sure.
"Just look between Coachella 1999 and Coachella 2009 headliners... now say "I'M SORRY" and leave."
Hey fuckface, in the 3-day, 3-headliner era (2007-2012) THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A YEAR WITH 3 ALT ROCK HEADLINERS.
Now go suck a bag of cocks in hell and die, you stupid douchefuck. No one gives a fuck if there were ever 3 alt rock bands in the entire lineup, that's not what was referenced. I'm talking HEADLINERS, asshole. And in the 2-day, 2-headliner era, it was fucking IMPOSSIBLE to have 3 headliners period.
So go choke on your daily ration of dicks and shut your fucking piehole.
Mmmm, pie. Can't wait for Thanksgiving!
"in the 3-day, 3-headliner era (2007-2012) THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A YEAR WITH 3 ALT ROCK HEADLINERS"
Oh beginner, let me say something:
This year, the sunday headliner was Black Sabbath, but they cancelled around 2 days before the line-up announcement so GV needed to look a replacement: Dre and Snoop.
Originally, 2012 Black Sabbath were going to be at the first line on sunday, no Dre and Snoop.

So you go choke on your daily ration of dicks and shut your fucking piehole.
Ahahahahahaha. As if Black Sabbath is alt rock to begin with. Holy shit you're fucking dumb. They're fucking metal you douchbag. Not to mention THEY NEVER HEADLINED.
So take your shoulda woulda coulda fantasy scenario which never came about (and which wouldn't even qualify anyway with a goddamn METAL band) and shove it up your vagina.
Still waiting for those 3 ALT ROCK bands headlining in the same year. Tick tick tick tick tick...
Not to menion this in the link YOU GAVE: "It's unsure who of the three eventually announced headliners Radiohead, Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg and The Black Keys were called in as the last-minute replacements."
So you just cherry-picked the one headliner you wanted to replace even though there's never been any confirmation of it, and you still couldn't make the fantasy work.
Fucking dolt.
What kind of moron thinks that even one of the headliners is "alt-rock"?
Come on Monk, this is a poor effort even by your standards. The actual lineup's only a month and a half out, can't we get some sort of Thanksgiving update?
buncha whiny crybaby bitches.
Feel free to plug "alternative rock" followed by each band's name into Google and watch your head explode.
I heard Coachella is going to be the Killers playing all their albums over 2 weekends. Death Grips will open each night playing free flowing Jazz. You can all exhale now.
Monklish is losing her edge...
You fags ready for SOUNDGARDEN???
This fag is definitely ready. I'm ready to take numerous cocks in me butt if SG makes an appearance.
FRIDAY - Depeche Mode
SATURDAY - Jack White/Atoms For Peace
SUNDAY - Run DMC w/ Ad Rock and Mike D (and many special guests, big MCA send-off)
Straight from GV employee^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
NO DAFT. Very sorry to report this. They do not have the album ready. FACT. :(
Deadmau5 closing mainstage on Friday, Mumford is just a sub. So is QOTSA, Wu Tang, Fiona Apple, Blur, Stone Roses, Garbage, Yeasayer, Sigur Ros and The XX and Phoenix.
I will not say the reunion as he/she would then know I posted this, as he/she has def not told anyone else. It's a great reunion (its on par with Iggy and Stooges and Pixies - all will be happy).
Eminem dropped out. Not ready. NIN is doing summer shows in Aug. I bet Lolla will get them.
Hilarious that any of u think Killers are coming...
Why has Spacehog never been asked to reunite and play the outdoor theater?!?!?!?!?
SPACEHOG!!!!!!
What older acts/legends can we start talking about that have yet to do it? In the Leonord Cohen/Willie Nelson/Sly & Family Stone category...?
Tom Waits has been discussed here ...
I think Aretha Franklin would be cool.
Chuck Berry would be amaaaazingly cool.
Really odd that The Wailers have never done it.
Also Elvis Costello.
And what about Parliament in the Mojave??
Who else? Let's discuss!!
Sheriff, everything sounds legit (as in possible) except the Sunday headliner. Run DMC and 2/3 of the Beasties (even with special guests) really wouldn't get many people excited. Hell, the full Beasties with MCA still alive wouldn't have been much of a headliner.
Also wondering about Jack White. He's been a festival whore for the last year, and I'm wondering if Coachella wants to get the tail end of that train.
What about jamiroquai?
that would be fun in a tent...they make people DANCE
WHY LANA? WHY?
Dude. People would ABSOLUTELY get excited about a special guest-filled extravaganza like last year's Dre and Snoop (with Kendrick, 50 Cent, Eminem, Warren G and Wiz).
Imagine who the Beasties and Run DMC could bring out?? Biz Markie, Tribe Called Quest, Mix Master Mike, etc. And shit, Run could bring out Steven Tyler, Pete Rock and more.
And yes people care about both bands. One started hip hop and one made the first band to do hip hop in a slick, hip, silly way!
People filling in on MCA's lyrics and also cutting to shots of him doing it himself (ala how they cut to Nate Dogg last yr during Dre's set) would be cool.
Run DMC just headlined Fun Fun Fun Fest last wk in Austin btw. And Beasties were pegged to come back to Coachella the yr after they were gonna do Putside Lands in 09 (they cancelled due to MCA starting to slide downhill).
They also played there when Chella started to grow in '03.
As far as Jack White, GV does try for the most part to get that one "how'd they get them" rare-y type act every yr (Gorillaz, McCartney, Prince, etc.), but they every year there is someone that is not a rare "get" and they're on the road and are just there cause they are purely "relevant" (Killers, Muse, Kings Of Leon, Arcade Fire, Black Keys). And as far as them not wanting to grab someone that has been on a festival victory tour, well, they grabbed the Black Keys after having them actually at Coachella the previous year as subs... they also had Arcade Fire and The Strokes and The Black Keys in 2011 which was only 8 months after Lollapolooza had the same acts. There is a ton of sharing amongst Outside Lands and Bonnaroo and Coachella these days. Radiohead did Bonn and Chella this year (also The Shins, Bon Iver). Jay-Z did Chella and Bonn same year. Sometimes they get whoever at the start of their festival touring and sometimes at the tail end..
Trust me, hipsters would love Run DMC. And who does not like the Beastie Boys and who would not wanna send MCA off with an amazing cap to an amazing wknd?
Count me in.

lol
The only problem I have with the fake lineup above is that no way deadmau5 would close the main stage after Depeche mode...that's electronic sacrelig
"And who does not like the Beastie Boys and who would not wanna send MCA off with an amazing cap to an amazing wknd?"
Everyone under the age of 25, which is 75% of the Coachella audience.
Look, I get your point, but I just think you vastly overestimate what young people know about Run DMC and how much they care about sending the Beasties off with a bang.
You realize that out of these names...Biz Markie, Tribe Called Quest, Mix Master Mike, Steven Tyler, Pete Rock...the ONLY one young people recognize is Steven Tyler, and that's just because of American Idol and not Walk This Way, right?
The comparison with Dre/Snoop is a poor one. The younger crowd knows Dre and Snoop because they were more 90s and early 2000s. Run DMC/Beasties hit their peak in the 80s, when most of these kids were in diapers.
"Everyone under the age of 25, which is 75% of the Coachella audience."
Going to be a big shock when everyone who thinks NIN, Depeche Mode, Outkast, etc. are headlining realizes that they are now officially old.
Thanksgiving Day! We deserve a new post!
Fuck 27 is confusing. Am I young? Am I old? I know who Dre is. I know who Run DMC is. I know Steven Tyler as American Idol judge, stage diver, and even jerked it to videos staring Alicia Silverstone. I'm fucked.
"Straight from GV employee^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^"
Just because you said it, now I believe you, FUCK OFF!!
you know why there will be no "mca sendoff/blow out"..
gv would not copy dre/snoop performance style simply with different people....
coachella would become the place to "send off" the latest performer to have sadley died... no one wants to see that, let the beasties rest in peace dont bucher mca's performances with people doing it for him. gv knows this
I don't know which evening, but Skrillex will be playing the main stage at some point over the weekends. Be afraid.
New sheriff - Depeche won't play Coachella again. They hated it in 2006. You lose.
Mumford and Sons
Nine Inch Nails
Daft Punk
Shut up, Suprefan, you know nothing.
Suprefan is right, I know, Charlie Brown told me after he kicked a field goal tonight.
