«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 768 Newer› Newest»@6:20, so did Fever Ray in 2010
Nobody fucking cares if they liked it or not last time they were there. Money talks and bands always listen.
Please, first off 75% of the audience is not 25 or younger, second NIN isn't any older or less relevent than Radiohead, Dre/Snoop, Gorillaz, The Cure, Paul McCartney, Prince, Roger Waters, Bjork, RHCP, or RATM. Coachella only panders one headliner a year to the younger crowd, younger audiences don't care about 2/3 of the lineup every year. I'm sure they were all going nuts for Pulp and Leonard Cohen too.
"first off 75% of the audience is not 25 or younger"
Have you been to Coachella lately?
Post a fucking update you bitch!
she's dead
Monklish was killed by Coachella's secret service 3 years ago, now they control this blog and post Daft Punk as a rumor every year to sellout tickets in minutes.
Depeche Mode
Daft Punk~Phoenix
The Smiths
^Keep dreaming
Drugs are confirmed.
I am taking a dump right now.
Me too. It's better than this year's headliner lineup.
despite the rumors Daft Punk is still not ready yet
Bjork
Mumford & Sons
Nine Inch Nails
Can we get a going into December update Monk? Even if there is really no change.
She cant post anything until suprefan tells her to.
YYY's are apparently going to be there which is good news.
Bjork just had a successful surgery on her vocal cord polyp, I'd love to see her there.
It's getting close to that time!
I'd love to see some more names posted.
Can't wait!
Twin Shadow
Yeasayer
Beach House
The xx
Moonface
Local Natives
Lineup in January sometime?
When will tickets go on sale?
maybe a week after the lineup announcement
Last year the lineup dropped January 9th and tickets went on sale that Friday. So I'd be ready to purchase by the 7th assuming tickets would be on sale that friday or the next.
Everyone here can go finger-fuck themselves to death. Fuck you fucking fucks.
^ Thank you, I was waiting for permission
Are we going to get a November update? There have been plenty of confirmations this month that you can claim.
lets try to make our own list of bands confirmed this month
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE BLUR AT COACHELLA!
THIS IS MY INSIDE VOICE!
IM NOT YELLING, THIS IS HOW I TALK....HAVENT YOU SEEN MY MOVIES?
No update for almost a month during peak speculation season! WTF
@5:44 AM - I think GV-Team killed her...
I'm thinking about hitting up Coach and the farm this year.
Anyone on here ever been to Bonnaroo? How in depth do they search you as you go in? Similar to Coach?
I also see that Glowsticks are on there not allowed list, are they serious?
RIP Monklish
Bonnaroo is a gigantic pile of dusty shitfest. Avoid at all costs. I wouldn't go back if they paid me.
Monk is also Indiechella so shes trying to promote both sites by keeping this one dead forcing you to the other...genius strategy
Bonnaroo isn't for pussies.
And yes they have drugs there.
9-11 was Monklish's fault.
This.
What up, monky
Indiechella is a fucking board member that doesn't know shit.
Indiechella knows more than any of you on here as well as the boards, they got like 80% correct last year, so STFU.
@1:20 PM:
Where I can find the Indichella predictions for last year?
Indichella is a fraud who constantly edits their list to appear as if they know shit.
are you saying indiechella is monklish?
Everyone who posts here has aids
I only have HIV
Fuck monklish and fuck everyone who posts here including myself.
The demise of Monklish and her shitty blog is near!
Indiechella is just. A fan Facebook page. Just doing what a Coachella fan would do
Whattttt!!! Is it true about The White Stripes?!?!?!????
Yes The White Stripes are confirmed
Yes, the White Stripes have confirmed that they have broken up.
The White Stripes were horrible the last time they played. Why would anyone want them back. They didn't even make it through Jolene before Meg was dropping her sticks. UGH.
Come on Monk...this is getting a bit embarrassing now. A month til the lineup drops and still no update?
RIP Monklish
Monklish organized the Columbine shootings.
This useless mother fucking comment has been deleted by the cunt who posted it.
Monklish is taking time off to have her hysterectomy and will return fresh as a daisy. Get well soon Monkster!
Monk is going to drop a doozy of an update tomorrow ;)Happy December everyone!
RATM is announcing shows soon.
Let's bring back Day 2 1999. Rage --> Tool.
Monklish is missing :(
I guess this is proof monk was pulling shit out of his ass all along.
It was fun while it lasted.
Well that was one doozy of an update.
Hey if you're interested in dogforts and pictures of ghostbusters, you should really check out the Coachella message boards. Man, those are some interesting people.
And by interesting I mean fucking retarded.
You guys! LED ZEPPELIN will headline!
Who would of thought :)
You guys! DAFT PUNK will headline!
Who would of thought :)
You guys! THE ROLLING STONES will headline!
Who would of thought :)
You guys! MY SMELLY COCK AND HAIRY BALLS will headline!
Who would of thought :)
I could care less about those first 3 rumors, but man, I'd love to see Smelly Cock and Hairy Balls at Coachella. Like a dream come true.
I'd suck it down and slurp it up and swallow it whole, all while I'm rubbing my taint with peanut butter and listening to The Killers on muh headphones.
Little Birdy and MotorAve are not the same person. But they both know what's up.
MotorAve is always watching just in case someone on the internet doesn't think that the Killers and Muse are headlining Coachella.
"Little Birdy and MotorAve are not the same person. But they both know what's up."
Of course they're not. Just a coincidence they're selling the same line of bullshit in the exact same manner.
MotorAve REALLY cares if you believe him or not. It is very important to him that you know what he supposedly knows.
Watching Monklish flounder like this is absolutely delicious.
I usually don't ask for an update Monk because I know that when you have sufficient updates you usually update, but this is a very long delay for you. It's December, drop a new list even if there are 5-6 new names, otherwise I have to read comments about the Killer's headlining which is ridiculous.
Just saw one of the LA No Doubt shows last night. That set up really looks festival ready. If you attend one of those 7 shows you know what I mean. I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if they show up at any or a few festivals next year.
@7:41 yeah because Coachella totally needs a band to play that has just played 7 fucking shows in LA.
ALT-J WILL BE THERE!
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Phoenix Skrillex Yeah Yeah Yeahs MGMT
Muse
Deadmau5 Vampire Weekend Pitbull The Stone Roses
The Killers
Blur The XX Eric Prydz Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
^^^^^^
WORST SHIT EVER
Monk is just being lazy. Unless she found out that NIN/DP have backed out and doesnt want to deal with the backlash I dont get the delay. There are at least 5-10 bands you could add based on tour dates/self announcement and other non insider info that would beef up the list for an update.
Jesus. Skrillex AND Pitbull? Cancel my ticket.
oh yea i forgot only people from LA go to Coachella? i forgot how exclusive Coachella is. Go to one of the ND shows this week and tell me this isnt a warm up to a festival trek, then come at me
MotorAve don't know his dick from his balls
www.daftpunk2013.com/tour
there it is.
That is so phat.
This is MotorAve, and I did not post that upthread, but I can confirm at least 9-10 of those acts.
"Unless she found out that NIN/DP have backed out and doesn't want to deal with the backlash I dont get the delay"
She never "found out" that NIN/DP were in, because nothing of the sort was ever discussed.
MUMFORD & SONS
Deadmau5 ends main stage
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
How To Destroy Angels
NINE INCH NAILS
Queens of the Stone Age
Phoenix
Eric Prydz
DAFT PUNK
Sigur Ros
Wu-Tang
The xx
hi robot, I'll take two north face jackets please. thanx.
PROTIP: anyone who posts a headliner list that doesn't include RHCP is wrong.
You could do much worse than RHCP as the "friday before the dance act " headliner. Anyone who says they wouldnt be more enjoyable than mumford and sons, phoenix or (insert trendy radio play band) is either 12 years old or a cynical douchebag. Plus if youve been to coachella more than once you recognize headliners dont matter and that your specific musical tastes will be met at one of the other 4 stages. Every year people think they have the possible headliners figured out to a t and every year Coachella throws curveballs. Noone saw Dr. Dre + friends as even a possibility until it happened, and while for much different reasons the same goes for the Black Keys. So everyone chill and trust that the best festival in the world is going to deliver some epic shit regardless of what the boards, monklish or indiechella say
Yo monklish what about sigur ros isnt that obvious? YOU MUST UPDATE SO I CAN BE EXCITED AGAIN:) good job monk
mumford will not be at coachella
RHCP killed their set at Lolla,
As Did Sigur Ros and I had to watch the set standing in 4 inches of mud that smelled like excrement, so I can't wait to see Sigur Ros at night on the polo field.
"Monk is just being lazy. Unless she found out that NIN/DP have backed out and doesnt want to deal with the backlash I dont get the delay. There are at least 5-10 bands you could add based on tour dates/self announcement and other non insider info that would beef up the list for an update."
a) or that NIN/DP were never booked in the first place
b) you sound like an idiot. MAKE A NEW BLOG POST UPDATING WHAT WE ALL ALREADY KNOW SO WE CAN HAVE A NEW THREAD TO TALK ABOUT SHIT IN.
fucking dumbass
Like 2011 and 2012, the Vive Latino festival tells us the next confirmations for Coachella:
Blur
Japandroids
Morrissey
Mala Rodriguez
Silversun Pickups
Tame Impala
Underworld
Yeah yeah yeah's
I hope LOS FABULOSOS CADILLACS will join the Coachella line up
Silversun Pickups are utter shite
^you are utter shite, Silversun Pickups are the best shoegazey rock band since My Blood Valentine, and no, I didn't forget about The Smashing Pumpkins, they have always sucked and Billy Corgan can lick my balls
I swear I want to kill this fucking bitch, UPDATE THIS SHIT!
fuuuuuuck Silversun fucking Pickups. and fuuuuuuuck you Mr. Wiggles for mentioning them in the same sentence as MBV. you are a piece of shit.
Alt-J? They'll be in the northwest early April.
which means they'll be in the southwest later in april...
fuck you, MBV sucks
I hope Underworld plays against the shitty headliner.
And I agree with someone who posted earler. Despite the fact that from what I'm hearing RHCP is not going to be at Coachella this year and truly will be done touring after Mexico, there are far worse options than RHCP, especially if RHCP has a Frusciante reunion.
In any case, if Underworld plays vs RHCP I don't care.
Debunk this...
do what u will...
But i work for an important individual and yes I check this site cause i have been going to Chella since before I worked for him and just love this time of year before it is released!!
The facts are this...
no Killers
no RHCP
no Eminem
no Muse
no No Doubt (thank GOD)
no Blur as a headliner ( L O freaking L btw people, seriously)
no Stones (this ain't a festival that needs to pay for stuff like THAT anymore)
no My Morning Jacket (see Blur)
no Depeche Mode
no TOOL
no Neil Young (wrapping up his current schedule in fact - we work closely with him, not FOR him, but closely).
no Sigur Ros (only because their people fought on a co-headlining billing since they knew about Atoms' same thing... they reasoned that they have ONE album and it is even unreleased and that they crushed the polo fields last time and that they have been around forever.... they bailed due to this, dead serious, it is why the dates line up HOWEVER they bailed due to their peoples' urging - FACT).
no Wu Tang (come on, Paul would only book this act if he wanted to let people down ala Sly and Family Stone - they never ALL show up and half are always to fucked up to perform properly).
Your headliners:
FRIDAY - Mumford & Sons co headlining with Atoms For Peace (Deadmau5 closing mainstage)
SATURDAY - Daft Punk
SUNDAY - Rage Against The Machine
Subs - QOTSA, Jack White (on Atoms' night and there will be a slight collab here ala Bonnaroo), The XX, The Replacements, Twin Shadow, Armin Van Buuren, Blur, Ben Folds Five, Headhunterz, Skrillex, Iggy and The Stooges, Bad Brains, Stone Roses, Above & Beyond, Sufjan Stevens, Morissey, Phoenix, Underworld, Steve Aoki, and David Byrne/St Vincent.
Famous story that those-in-the-know-know-of:
GNR with Slash was offered Smiths-esque money and TURNED IT DOWN vehemently on all sides. One thing is for sure - this band will never play Coachella. Not because of them, but because they have been banned due to the letter that was received from Axyl. Nastiest thing u ever read in your life and it was rude to all parties (not just to the other band members but to execs that "even thought of doing the worst thing ever om this fine planet" - exact quote).
There is one reunion that everyone on this site says is impossible (and is oddly on the lower end of Saturday's bill btw) and it will get people excited on here but not many others (why you guys pray for it even is beyond me, it's sub-par at best). Starts with "T", and is two words. i will respond to good guesses (first word is one syllable and 2nd word is two).
Literally do not care if you think I am full of shit.
See u 2nd wknd!!!!!
The Pixies?
Wait there's no THE before Pixies.
THE FUGEES??
Thin Lizzy??
Nice try, 11:36. For your next bullshit tl;dr, keep these points in mind:
1. Your Friday is too stacked. Two coheadliners followed by a dance closer? No.
2. That scenario would have Jack White at 7pm at the latest.
3. Sufjan Stevens is scared of big festival crowds.
4. Mumford & Sons would have to be Saturday because of their tour schedule.
5. Sigur Ros' people don't expect them to headline Coachella, just playing at night.
6. 2ManySubs
yeah, that dude's obviously full of it...not even a nice try.
you know who's full of shit is Monk. One real update during the whole rumor season, what a fucking joke. Thanks for absolutely nothing this year
All that effort @1136 and the fact that Mumford is playing Thursday in Europe means no Friday for them which means your entire post is crap.
Focus on the details next time when you're writing fantasy.
Also, Tom Morello said its unlikely Rage will be performing anytime soon.
confirmed.

@10:34
wrong
Madonna did not headline in 2006. There is no way she will headline next year.
@10:34 AM
Refundchella
@11:11
you're saying Madonna is not big enough to headline Coachella?
don't be stupid.
Justin Bieber is big enough to headline Coachella. That doesn't mean he would or should.
^ that's even dumber
The Kinks.
Madonna had a weak performance, was billed 3rd on her day and is only older and less relevant now. It's not opinion she can't headline Coachella, its a proven fact.
@12:30
11:11 isnt stupid at all.
youre stupid lulz
Monk were one month away from the lineup drop and youve given us 1 update. If youre not going to do the blog at least give the common courtesy of saying so instead of just hibernating all rumor season
You do realize Madonna had one of the most hated sets in Coachella history and GV regretted booking her, right? That she forced them to close the Sahara for her and showed up 30 mins late and played about 4 songs all off her new album, right? That she didn't even headline over Tool in 2006 and has only gotten less relevent since then right?
1136, we don't have to wonder if you're full of shit or not, tour dates rule out some of the acts you have there.
And lol to Coach getting GNR
mumford & sons
daft punk
led zeppelin
sigur ros
deadmau5
the fugees
Monk, even if you found out your list had inaccuracies, you should still continue with your efforts.
Do you guys even remember the year Madonna was there? She was added late, she wasn't on the initial line up. She was touring the Hard Candy album at the time. Coachella were selling single day tickets at the time when they announced her, none of those days were sold out. They announce her and that day instantly sells out, because people thought they were going to beat the system to see a cheaper Madonna show (I believe the cheap seats were still cost more at a Madonna show than one day at Coachella - fact check that one) Any way Paul Oakenfold opened for her and warmed up the crowd, She did 6 songs, half new, but for those there she did Everybody, a song she never plays. The set was good till you realized that she was done after the 6th song. That's where the back lash came from. Even on the poster it advertised "special appearance by Madonna." She was not the headliner, never the headliner, and she sold out that day for Coachella. You can argue she paved the way for acts like Prince and Paul McCartney, bigger than life mainstream acts, that followed. Sure that year was also Daft Punk, which tops Madonna's performance, but she plays a much bigger part in Coachella's history than you are giving her credit for. But then again you were probably still in diapers when this all happened, so your ignorance is excused.
So yes Madonna could headline Coachella so go cry about that.
Wow, so much wrong with that post its laughable.
No one said Madonna isn't a huge draw, and no one said she isn't extremely influential on certain artists. Plenty of big draws and memorable coachella performances have happened before the sun even sets, so that argument is moot.
The topic of discussion was can she headline. You brought up when she was announced, single day ticket sales but never addressed the fact she was billed 3rd on her day back when coachella really needed star power to sell tickets. The fact is no matter how much that set meant to you or coachella, it was nothing close to a headliner set. And now that shes on the wrong side of 50 and has to slum around Avicii making drug references to stay relevant I know for a fact that she cannot headline. Not then, not now, not ever.
And while the condescending bullshit makes you seem really tough, the fact is you were prancing around at Madonna instead of getting prime real estate for Massive Attack and Tool like the rest of us who were there in 06, fucking loser
Who is bringing the beats to Coachella? CHRIS BROWN
lol at Madonna can't headline. she already had a big draw one year. you think if she's on the poster everyone is going to be like, "damn, she sucked in 06!" No. they will go check her out. who cares if she didn't headline. headliners were fixed. she was a late add. you think if they bumped her name up a line that they would sell more tickets, no.
imagine her name under a headliner like the Killers or Jack Johnson. never happen. just cause you don't want her doesn't mean she's not extremely popular with people who attend Coachella. likely, no. deserving, of course. it's Madonna you twat.
keep hearing about relevance. al least she's made new music since she played before. unlike artists that people ask for every year. like Daft Punk. how relevant are they really?
she's touring. selling out arenas worldwide. has been for like 3 decades. but according to you, no one likes her.
The average Coachella goer was born after Madonna lost her relevancy. No way it happens.
^ agree. plenty of people would go see her at Coachella that would not pay to see her on her own.
Madonna can not headline Coachella at this point in time. You guys are about as dumb as the people thinking the Killers are a headliner this year.
certain acts do not need to be relevant, and are simply classic enough to headline whenever. Prince, Macca, Waters. Madonna is one of those. Just as logical as the Stones. sorry if you don't like her, but i think the only proven fact relevant is that she damn popular. maybe she did have a bad show in 06 (i don't know i was watching something else) but she's not typically known for giving bad performances or putting on bad shows. i think she would fit the bill perfect. do i think she'll be there, no. but to call her irrelevant or not worthy is just ignorant. the only reason you people are saying she is not worthy or relevant is because you don't want it. plain and simple. there are plenty of people who would want it. deal with it. you live in a world where people like Madonna.
NO
Can't decide who is stupider--the people here that don't think Madonna is a headliner or the people in the CMB thread that are still arguing the logistics of Muse being a headliner.
I mean, it's really a tossup.
Madonna is not fucking headlining you cum-faced twat.
Update please
Please with an update!
I want an update!
Must.have.update.
I can haz updates?
updateupdateupdateupdate
You guys don't know shit.
THE CURE & MUSE ARE HEADLINING. LIKE IT OR NOT. THIS COME FROM THEIR AGENCIES WHO ARE SEEKING FOR THE DATES THE WEEK BETWEEN BOTH COACHELLAS.
SORRY NIGGAS
Add Kinky to this list... is confirmed
I don't know what fantasy world you live in but in 2012 Madonna is popular like Justin Beiber is popular. She has a rabid fanbase of diehards and sells tickets to said base. She is not anywhere close to the living legend status of the others you mentioned. She's a fading pop star who you are comparing to some of the most influential names in the history of rock and roll. Is she a huge influence? Yea, on Lady Gaga, who has a better shot of headlining than Madonna. Madonna shouldnt even be in the same breath as the Stones. One is a act that Coachella would be so lucky to have headline. The other is at best subheadliner playing the last outdoor slot.The fact you would mention Madonna in the same breath as the Stones, Macca and Prince shows how little you know about Coachella
this whole madonna thing is dumb as fukc. yes she is a icon. and that icon status got her a 2nd line spot in 2006 when the festival wasnt anywhere near as big.
Madonna=/=headliner so everyone qft
MONK HOW ABOUT AN UPDATE PLEASE
Madonna with a full show could EASILY headline Coachella. This is obvious and there is no question about it. She wanted the DANCE tent in 2006 because of her DANCE album. With that said, Madonna is not headlining Coachella 2013.
She's more than big enough, but she's too costly, shitty, and irrelevant for GV to bother ever booking her as one. End of discussion.
"bigness" isn't the only thing a festival considers when they book an act. Plenty of acts would love to play Coachella who are more than "big" enough but aren't relevent to the scene. Rihanna Usher, and Katy Perry have all showed up at the last two Coachellas. Any of them would LOVE to play Coachella. They are all huge, more relevent and known to today's crowd than Madonna, and sell out arenas all over the world. But guess what, none will ever be a Coachella headliner, or most likely even be offered anything other than a David Guetta guest appearance. Just because Madonna is big doesn't mean she's ever going to be a headliner.
Sunday headliner is a Diddy comeback gig with Lil' Kim, Ma$e, Foxy Brown, Faith Evans, The LOX, Grace Jones, T.I., Drake, Lil; Wayne, Tinie Tempah, Jimmy Page and more, and a next level Biggie tribute
I just think if they were going to headline Madonna, they'd rather just headline someone like Beyonce, who's probably cheaper, more "now", and doesn't come with any baggage.
Madonna has one of the top grossing tours this year. Selling out every single arena she decides to book. Fact, you fuck.
Coachella goers would tolerate Madonna over Beyonce, Gaga, Timberlake or Rhianna.
or Ursher or Katy Perry.
I'd say Monk is looking right again...Phoenix likely sub or headliner. I would guess with the main stage being closed by an electronic act. Probably the Mau5 man.
http://consequenceofsound.net/2012/12/phoenix-to-release-new-album-in-april/
no way...fuck Madonna...
Timberlake > Gaga > Beyonce > Rihanna > Madonna
I hate you Mr. Wiggles.
"She wanted the DANCE tent in 2006 because of her DANCE album"
because MDNA is what kind of album?
P Diddy and friends is the worst headliner idea yet.
Puff Daddy - Where Did It All Go Wrong?
I hope RHCP, Bjork, and RATM don't come back...
There will be no RATM, RHCP or Bjork.
Your wish is granted.
"I'd say Monk is looking right again"
You mean suprefan
From USA TODAY...Outside of Madonna, the biggest acts on the bill are Depeche Mode and Tool — though successful, hardly on the superstar pop level of Madonna. Others include the punk rockers Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Orthodox Jewish reggae singer Matisyahu and the electronica dance duo Daft Punk.
Certainly Madonna's appeal is universal and organizers are pleased as punch to have there. She brings with her, however, a magnetic megastar effect — some will want to see her simply out of curiosity.
Coachella's website message board heated up when Madonna announced she would play the festival, prompting some unseemly posts like "I hope Madonna chokes on a crumpet."
Some fear a logjam of humanity at the smaller stage where she's set to appear — the Sahara dance tent, catering to an audience and a feel more in line with the her recent works rooted in the same electronica genre.
How exactly did The Madonna Factor come into play? Paul Tollette, co-founder of Goldenvoice, the company that puts on Coachella, said he was still looking for a big name for the popular dance tent and they started considering one of the biggest names of them all.
"We didn't have anyone for the second night. We got to talking and we said, 'What do you think about Madonna?'" Tollette recalled. A few phone calls and mutual friends later and Madonna was a go for Coachella (Madonna declined to be interviewed for this article).
Tollette acknowledged that adding Madonna to the bill has presented some logistical challenges — more people craning their neck to see her. To address that, he's put in place some spatial changes at the Sahara tent to accommodate more people — more than the thousands that usually fit inside.
To maintain the integrity of that plan, Tollette chose not to elaborate on those changes, but he's well aware the magnitude of Madonna commands full attention.
"There will be some people here specifically for her," Tollette said, adding the caveat "They'll be overwhelmed by Coachella people." (It's worth noting that he drew a distinction between the two camps).
There are no main stage acts going on at the same time as Madonna, but there are some acts on smaller stages during her set. Tollette predicts that there will be plenty of people taking in those other acts while Madonna does her thing.
Is Madonna the biggest act to ever hit the stage at Coachella?
"That depends on your definition of big," Tollette said. "She's probably sold more records than anyone we've had at Coachella."
Tollette admits many people can't understand why Madonna — whose summer tour this year is perhaps the most anticipated — would play there.
But Tollette added: "She knows a lot of the DJs that have played the Sahara tent, so this isn't anything new for her."
World renown DJ Paul Oakenfold plays on the same night as Madonna in the dance tent. They're friends, have toured together, and Oakenfold has done several well-received remixes of Madonna's songs.
He said Madonna likely could have requested to play on a big stage at Coachella, but wisely choose to stick with the electronica-themed "Sahara" tent.
"That's an incredible boost for the electronic scene," Oakenfold said. "To choose the less is more. It's a smaller situation, but it's going to be unbelievable."
"I think this is extremely cutting edge for an artist of that pedigree," he added. "It's going to draw a lot of attention to that tent."
And who does USA today sell papers to? Mainly people who don't go to coachella. Coachella is not mainstream. Put Madonna's name on any mainstream anything it will sell. And Tollette's comments seem like he really wanted to be talking about Madonna. He ever questioned the "definition of big."
He is embarrassed to have used her to sell tickets.
^ this is poorly written commentary. what the hell is your point?
i think it's been established that not only can she play the festival, but can easily headline if that is the direction the festival wanted to go. the only question that remains is taste. understandably, many people would rather have someone else, but any idiot knows that the main stage would be packed for an act like Madonna.
Coachella isn't worried about tickets sales anymore. it sells out. as long as the line up is stacked, they can choose any headliner they want. sorry people but Paul T doesn't share your low opinions of Madonna. you people would bitch with the same arguments if it was Bjork, someone who headlined twice.
9/11 was an inside job
of course it was. everyone knows that. but we're talking about Madonna.
for the of god, 9/11 was not an inside job haha take your stupid bullshit conspiracy theories somewhere else...like the CMBs
madonna's grey, sagging meat curtains did wtc
Shut the fuck up about Madonna. No one gives a fuck.

"electronica dance duo Daft Punk"
soon...........
I'll be damned...Monklish nailed the two biggest headliners almost a year in advance...she doesn't need to make another post this season.
I hope you are right Inside Man. i was a doubter of NIN and boom, new NIN info comes out.
some people act like because Coachella sold out the past couple of years it's a 100% guarantee it will always sell out until the end of time. They do care about ticket sales, and they do need to keep having good lineups if they plan on continuing to sell out the fest. Lame lineups the next two years would cause sales to drop.
wack headliners or acts do not = wack line up.
one band does not stop people from going to the festival. plus, they sell a bunch of tickets before the line up even comes out.
what new NIN info?
