Leaving Daft on. Interesting.

So is this the big 'final prediction' we've been waiting for? Or are you still leaving a little room to drop Daft Punk at the last minute?

you mentioned in a previous post that you were given a 30-minute warning ahead of the lineup release in the past - did that just happen? and did you just post your final prediction list because you received a hint that it was on the way?

DAFT PUNK IS NOT FUCKING PLAYING!

Monklish said...

This might not be my final list, although they could post the lineup before I am finished compiling a final one. I am waiting for a last confirmation or two. I still do not have any clue when the lineup is coming out.

And you can't just post those one or two ones you're still waiting on with a note saying "Hey, still waiting on a confirmation for these acts. Don't get your hopes up, but keeping y'all updated"?

In all honesty, if this is true (meaning that Daft Punk is for sure one of the headliners - which I really do not think is the case) then I would not be disappointed with this. I could see a lot of cool stuff while the lame-ass other two headliners are going on. But...that is contingent on Daft being one of the headliners.

@4:44 - Of course the undercard is important, but I think it's the thing that will be a decision-maker. Most people will think the undercard is good, but seeing Daft Punk or some other legendary performance there will push their decision over the edge and allow them to buy the tickets.

It's dumb to say "there are 100 other bands you don't have to see the headliners". Yes, that's true. It doesn't mean we can't hope for good headliners. Besides, last year the tents were all so crowded (I know that's bc of the weather) that the outdoor and main were the only two enjoyable stages after 10 pm.

@4:55 PM

Monk pull off Daft Punk in 2011 because they said they still weren't ready for a live shows. That's the reason. They were out.

Monk in 2012 didn't bold headliners cause Black Sabbath cancellation was a 'last minute emergency' so GV called Snoop and Dre to put that live performance together, so she wasn't sure who was headlining that time.

In 2011 Monk didn't bold The Strokes as headliners cause GV put them in the first row as a 'last minute' decision.

Anonymous said...

She left daft on because we called her out on taking it off last minute. Its wrong though and she knows it. Lineup late tonight board is going down in about an hour

Anonymous said...

hey idiot at 5:58, if she knew they werent ready for live shows why would she list them up until 2 days before the drop? Or then after pulling them claim they still might DJ set or guest appearance? Oh yea because she doesnt know shit. Just like this final prediction list has the "they are still finalizing hopefully i get you my list before they send the lineup" caveat built in. monk is a fraud and calling the postal service a few weeks before everyone doesnt make up for glaring lack of knowledge on everything else.

Anonymous said...

weren't ready for live shows? are you kidding? It's two years later and they still aren't ready for live shows. Clearly they never had any minute intention of touring or doing anything in 2011.

I dont think daft punk will be there (and if not) the other artists suck, even not the biggest festival in mexico can bring blur, phoenix is just a band of sissy boys who just had been here since 2007, nothing for a heavy weight slot

"A few of us on these here coachella boards got together and thought it would funny to troll people... by basically posting the random confirmations that would come in.. then the blog got all popular because actual news sites were quoting it.. you know like the same way this board has trolled ryan seacrest and just recently with the fake LA Times article.. I tell ya, these people are all pretty stupid. anyway.. for some reason or another now only 1 board member posts as monklish because the rest of us got bored or busy.. people seem to think a fake profile about a woman makes that legit.. again, pretty stupid people..

So... most people just believe it is some insider girl who posts almost accurate info by just posting confirmations from bands we already know pretty much one way or another.. rinse and repeat each year.

There's the story of monklish."

You guys, they're working on Bowie. They try every year, and suddenly, he re-appears. There are articles stating that nobody knew about it until his birthday recently. THEY ARE TRYING TO NAIL DOWN BOWIE. There is no other possibility. Daft Punk would have said yes or no a long time ago. The Stones said no.


It's Bowie. We're just waiting to see if he says yes or no.

Barcelona primavera festival? www.primaverasound.es lineup announced 2day

LockNes said...

The coachella boards are fuckin circle jerks. They count how many posts they have and lube their dicks and asses with them when they run out of peanut butter.

The delusion is that people on the boards are "knowledgeable or cool" if they have tons of posts.

REALITY
They are big fuckin tools who have no real friends constantly checking the messages of other douche bags.

If a comment is made by douche bag "b", douche bag "a" looks at their number of comments made. If douche "a" has more comments, they talk down to douche "b." If they have less comments, they post pictures of dog forts and say that douche "b" is awesome.

Sometimes they ask if they want to meet up at the festival and "rage together at postal service." Usually they agree to meet by a churro stand. (They do this because they hope that one year, the churro stands will sell peanut butter to dip their "churros" in to.

for those complaining about the electronica...yes, Bassnectar & Pretty Lights headlining is pretty effin' weak (even though I actually like both & think both put on a damn good live show). but if you look at the dj's, I don't seen how you can't be impressed. they replaced all the bro-stepping douchebag dj's (Afrojack/Guetta/Avicii/SHM/Sebastian Ingrosso/Kaskade/Calvin Harris/Alesso) w/ real quality like Jamie Jones, Maya Jane Coles, Roni Size, Four Tet, Richie Hawtin, Jamie xx, Julio Bashmore, Seth Troxler, Simian Mobile Disco, Beardyman, etc. even some of the more mainstream peeps (Prydz, Wolfgang Gartner, Tommy Trash) are preferable.

it's the most anti-bro dance lineup they've had in years...be thankful that you might not feel the need to run from the Sahara like it's on fire this year yo.

Anonymous said...

All the edm artists that you named suck. Thats your version of quality? You have worst taste than people who listen to guetta. Let me guess you also wear skinny jeans and dislike anything that is remotely close to mainstream.

Mr. Wiggles said...

Wolfgang Gartner, Tommy Trash, Knife Party, Dog Blood, Nicky Romero, and Eric Prydz are enough, im so glad theyve grabbed Maya Jane Coles, Julio Bashmore, and DISCLOSURE!! there will be much less bros this year thankfully, this lineup reminds me of old Coachella lineups like pre 2007, since the RATM reunion its only gotten more popular and mainstream with rap headliners and such, it's nice to see that they are taking a step back for a change, my only complaint is no legendary headliner one night, like Roger Waters in 2008 or Paul McCartney in 2009

peeler said...

It has to be said that if Lolla or ACL had such lame ass headliners, the PBC would be laughing at those festivals.
Coachella gets those weak headliners then its 'look at the undercard'.

Let's tell the truth, they are sloppy headliners that played a lot in 2012-apart from Phoenix, who are a sub headliner.

Anonymous said...

First of all, I think that the undercard for all three days is very good with a lot of quality acts. Its enough to convince me to go.

BUT the headliners are totally disappointing. Mostly because there is none "HOLY SHIT! HOW DID THEY DO THAT" which is a Coachella tradition, except for one year or another. But also because all the names will be playing other festivals or played recently.

Im too lazy to search, but did Coachella ever got a headliner that was on top of the Lolla poster on the previous year? Isn't supposed to be the other way around??

Not to mention that there are big and major names playing festivals in places with less tradition than Chella (from the top of my head, PJ and QOTSA on Lolla Chile and Brazil).

Its pretty clear that somebody backed out (99% chance) or they still have some kind of surprise late add (less than 1% chance).

kinda feel like Coachella did this on purpose to get us back to hipster-chella and away from bro-chella. Expect more lineups like this in the future.

And if DP is indeed going to be added in front of Phoenix, I doubt it would be closer to April. I think they'd add it before tix went on Sale on Tuesday unless they want to make scalpers very happy. In other words: not happening.

But....did anyone notice deadmau5's mysterious tweet yesterday? I honestly think there's going to be one big add. Not Daft but possibly mau5.

LockNes said...

Yeah, I also think the Mau5 man is being added.

Anonymous said...

You guys are all idiots. There are around 170 artists, up 30 from last year. They already have GA sold out and there are enough people to sell out the rest. They aren't going to add anyone of note. Even if they wanted to add someone, it would have to be someone of legendary caliber to make it worth it. Its pretty obvious that all the artists of that caliber turned them down.

And please shut the fuck up about Daft Punk. They were obviously asked and said no. They arent going to suddenly decide in the next 4 months to join the lineup. If they were ready/willing to play Coachella they'd already be on the poster, so please let that dream die.

Coachella 2013

The year Monklish just gave up!

Sky said...

Columbia Records just signed Daft Punk and the release of the album is May. These facts are now available to all. And soon, the rest will be too.... ;)

The reason that the lineup was released later than they wanted to this year was because The Stones did in fact back out, that much is true, but the reason that the lineup is still light is because Daft (like Madonna and Prince) were always going to be announced later after the lineup release and on-sale. If you recall that Songkick fiasco where The Stones, Daft Punk, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Phoenix were leaked as the headliners for Coachella? Well, that leak was true. As we all can see, Phoenix and Yeah Yeah Yeahs are both on the bill. And due on the bill was Stones, but again, money caused them to back out VERY VERY late in the game. Well, Daft Punk is and always was going to be in. They just wanted to dance to the beat of their own... remix.

Let's talk about artists being announced late for this amazing festival in the years past. Now Prince in '08 was announced late cause he was called in a 11th hour desperate attempt to save their asses from their mistake of having such a low wattage band as Portishead be chosen to lead their always popular and busy Saturday headliner slot, and they will never have a lower tier band headline Saturday again rest assured (hence Killers, Muse, Arcade Fire & Radiohead doing Saturdays since then). They learned their lesson. Big time.

SO, if u think the lineup is done, u are mistaken.

Now Madonna, however, was NOT announced late to save them, it was cause it took a beat to close the deal and she wanted to be announced later than all for more attention and to drive up excitement toward the lead-up to the festival.

Well? Daft Punk is the same kind of artist that likes to do things on their time and in their own unique fashion.

(Cont from above post)....

Daft will be the only mainstage EDM act this year and close it out (ala Swedish House Mafia last yr or Chemical Bros in '11 or Tiesto in '07) and they will do so after their pals Phoenix (whom also hail from France and whom they came up with - both members of Daft were in a band with Phoenix's guitarist (Laurent Brancowitz) called Darlin' - however the guy that posted a couple wks ago in this very comments section that Phoenix and Daft were actually going to be at Coachella but not as their respective bands but rather play AS Darlin' ??Yeah, that guy could not have been more wrong, I believe he cited both not wanting the pressure of playing as themselves and something about not wanted to compete with what they have already done?? he basically painted them both as bands in shock with some sort of creative block?? Um, that is crazy. Both are pro bands and would rather NOT go out before they go out and do something people are not rooting for them to do like a band that very very few have heard of and even fewer are asking for to return - FACT).

The reason that Monk is being quiet is because she is praying that she was not wrong about her Daft post. Well? She is not wrong. I am here to tell you this Monk. You, mam, are not wrong.

She is staying quiet (and that is not something she has ever done post lineup release I might add) and she always posts the the real lineup as a long list once it is out and she has not done that this year YET, and probably will not until they announce Daft publicly, which is around the corner and any freaking day now.

I am truthfully surprised that they have not announced this treat BEFORE the tix go on sale. Shocked to be honest.

I was under the impression due to some insiders I know that it would be definitely be announced before tix started in order to make up for the recent press articles that said the top of the bill was not heavy this year. Some actually thought it was done to make two waves of excitement and to keep people guessing, but I guess they are banking that RHCP can sell well still in SoCal and these young kids that now attend have never seen this classic band (which is definitely a "classic" band to a younger person, sad but true and we are all OLD).

Harder. Better. Faster. Stronger. Peeeeople! It is happening. TECHNOLOGIC.

Monk will rein supreme AGAIN and u will all bow down. Although I cannot tell if she just merely guessed again that they would be here for the 90th time or if she actually had insider info that tipped her off this time around the sun...

Either way - she was right or guessed until the numbers went her way.

See u Indio and I hope you like ROBOTS!!!!!!!

wasnt Daft Punk added late in 06 as well?
i feel like they were not on the poster the day it came out

anyone know?
i can find anything on the web about it

Yes. Daft Punk was a late add in 2006 as well. Actually everyone mocked their appearance saying they were already irrelevant.

Sorry - meant to say addition not appearance.

PAGING LITTLE BIRDY!

Hey, remember that time you said The Killers and Muse were headlining, and I told you what a fucking idiot you were? Yeah, those were good times.

Funny how you disappeared when the lineup came out.

JUST LIKE I SAID YOU WOULD.

Human After All came out in March 05, Daft did a "test" show at Coachella in April 06 which wasn't even announced until a few weeks before the fest.

We don't even know for sure that they have an album coming out anytime soon. Rumor is May...so IF that's true, after they are done with their album they have to plan their mixes/songs/audio for the live tour, get all that set up. When they are done with that they have to get their light show (which will be massive) set up. That is going to take over a year.

The earliest there is even a 1% chance of Daft Punk playing Coachella is 2014. I don't think they are even going to tour until Summer of 2014, so they will not be at Coachella next year. This is, of course, assuming they even want to do festivals.


Daft Punk at Coachella 2013 = 100% not happening. Sky is a moron.

Coachella dosent want to announce them just yet until they sell out. Reason is because if they put them on the list right now scalpers will take all the tickets so all u people that are saying that dp aint showing up just calm down and relax I hope u got ur passes

Thank God that Coachella has come to its senses and put together a list that harkens back to the original intent of the festival: The Stone Roses, Blur, New Order, OMD, The Three O'Clock, Palma Violets, Savages, Sigur Ros, XX, Johnny Marr, Beach House, Smith Westerns, Purity Ring, Lou Reed, On and On...Indie Chella returns!
