holy shit monk. Orbital???!!
dont play with my heart monk. how sure are you on this? I assume pretty sure to put it on the list.
Monsters of folk are off is that another misspeont or are re not at coach?
No Gorillaz? :(
are you still sure about Pavement, Monk?
yesssssss!!! & to all the haters: Monk has been right about the line-up for atleast 2 of the years that I have gone to Coachella. SO YAY glad to get a reliable source on the line-up speculation
Just talked to Kim. Soundgarden rumor is bullshit.
http://blogs.seattleweekly.com/dailyweekly/2009/12/dont_blame_the_bearer_of_bad_n.php
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd wait that one out.
@Jason: Not a "no", yet.
@anon342: Probably won't be there, now.
@anon339: Sure enough to put them on the list.
Will Soundgarden be a headliner?
No.
Hey Monklish...have you heard anything about Delorean?
Delorean will probably just play their own LA show while Miike Snow is at Coachella.
any idea about when the line-up announcement will be?
you dumb fack
http://blogs.seattleweekly.com/dailyweekly/2009/12/dont_blame_the_bearer_of_bad_n.php
tad slow on that one. what's a fack?
instead of being cute why don't you address the article monk?? Does this mean you are wrong? are you going to take off soundgarden? are you going to keep them up and explain why you are?
Monklish, if you could do us all a favor and organize your list the way you did last year, putting the bands that you guarantee will be there in their own list, put the bands your unsure of in their own list, etc. Just a suggestion, I'm sure you'd get a lot less comments asking how sure you are on a particular band. Anyway, thanks a lot for all of this and disregard the haters.
Little Dragon?
THANK YOU!
@anon452: Already addressed it. You skipped over it. You should feel silly, but you won't.
@Jebadiah: I'm doing it this way this year, because my last year's format (which I agree with you was much better) caused too much confusion. This is more or less my 99.999% guaranteed list from last year with a couple of the stronger "perhaps" people to spice things up.
So, we still only know 2 of the 6 headliners (3 main stage, 3 Sahara) Muse and Orbital. Thanks for the post Monklish but is there no one you can even speculate as a headliner. Give a group of 10 bands and just let people know that all they are is a generalized list of probables/possibles/hopefuls.
Hey Monk, anyone word about the rumor of Novoselic, Grohl, Smear, and Chad Channings nirvana tribute doing Coachella since Them Crooked Vultures will already be there?
is this your final post before the actual lineup. lets be honest this lineup's pretty weak. i dont expect you to know everyone thats playing, but lets just hope that coachella has some tricks up their sleeves.
no Dizzee Rascal?? no Thom Yorke (w/ Flea, Nigel Godrich, etc.)?? no Beastie Boys?? no Gorillaz?? would Orbital really be a headliner?!?
@ anon 344 Pavement is OUT for now...
what does bold indicate? confirmed?
Nevermind my question Monk I figured it out on another post...
For those that dont know Bold indicates a newly added artist..
Hey Monk I'm sure you're getting tired of this question but what about the Gorillaz? Have u not heard anything or are negotiations still going on? Or is the rumor just bullshit?
@anon539: The list of ten names wouldn't surprise most people that follow the rumors.
@anon244/@anon637: I have yet to see anything credible that shows Pavement won't be there.
@anon500: I will ask. They are available, but I am sure that you have seen their availability already.
@anon622: While I doubt that Thom Yorke is playing this year, I am trying my best to stop saying the "No"s this year, because they bum people out too much. If they are not on my list, perhaps I just have not heard anything about it, yet.
@Samy: Probably Jan 18th or 25th.
@anon546: I doubt that they ever do a tribute show, but if they do, it wouldn't be at a major for-profit even like Coachella.
@anon618: I am sure that the lineup will be more impressive than my blog suggests.
@anon713: Only thing that I have heard about it is from that Gorillaz fansite, and they are not willing to discuss their sources.
Thanks for ur replys Monk. Any word on the Beastie Boys?
@anon755: Scenestar seems pretty sure that they are playing. I have not received a final word on that one yet.
"@anon452: Already addressed it. You skipped over it. You should feel silly, but you won't."
"i'd wait that one out"
excellent thanks.
i was wandering if you could say more about it when the Nirvana bassist, who i'm sure has inside sources as well, is saying he looked into it and says they won't be there. I respect your insight and in all honesty I'm would bet money they would be there, it's just that you do not have to be cocky and blunt when you don't have to be, just give a couple more insightful sentences more.
hey monk, will A Place To Bury Strangers be coachella since The Big Pink is too?
@anon815: I delete your post, because it made no sense to copy and paste my list.
@anon818: Probably, but I am not aware of this yet.
@anon814: Krist could be correct, but from what I know, I am not backing down until I am told it is not happening.
So are u hearing anything about the Stones?
Monk,
First--thank you for your blog.
In my opinion, if Soundgarden would reunite at Coachella...it should follow that Matt Cameron and his current band Pearl Jam would be a headliner. Do you agree? Also, what about The Who as the rock legend headliner this year?
Thanks and happy holidays.
soundgarden not a headliner??
what would be better then "black hole sun" to close one of the nights
Don't get me wrong...I think that The day I tried to live would sound incredible on the polo fields...but isn't Cameron still committed to Pearl Jam? Also, they (Pearl Jam) are going to be touring around that time as they are one of the Jazz Fest headliners. Maybe I dream too much but Soundgarden sub in to Pearl Jam would blow my mind.
any word on 311, they will be touring near coachella
I'm gonna throw this out there Monk....
Stevie Wonder?
Here are the ones Monk hasn't mentioned yet that Goldenvoice is currently in talks with:
A Place To Bury Strangers
Aeroplane
Above and Beyond
Animal Collective
Bat For Lashes
Beastie Boys
The Big Pink
Booka Shade
Boys Noize
The Dead Weather
Echo & The Bunnyman
Fever Ray
The Flaming Lips
Gorillaz
Grizzly Bear
Jason Collett
Jay-Z
John Digweed
LCD Soundsystem
The Raveonettes
The Smashing Pumpkins
Steel Train
The Strokes
The Temper Trap
Tiesto
Vampire Weekend
Wilco
"Pretty Noose" opener at sunset would make me shoot loads all over the 90s face.
what about postal service as the surprise\reuniting band? (pavement and soundgarden do absolutely nothing for me).
it's probably just a prayer but i got optimistic when i heard they're working on a new album for 2010. what better way to get some buzz going for them again then by playing coachella? it could happen, right?
If thats the case with Postal Service, then they would probably play Coachella 2011. I would love to see them also.
Need to add one more to the list above:
Arcade Fire
One more in talks:
Green Day
hahah greenday??? if they were announced as a headliner people would not just upset, there would blood shed.
@anon1158 What do you have against the word "be"?
Monklish, what do you know about some of those bigger bands that the Anon poster above mentioned as being in talks with GV?
Arcade Fire
Green Day
Beastie Boys
Echo + The Bunnymen
Fever Ray
Flaming Lips
Gorillaz
Grizzly Bear
Jay-Z
LCD
Smashing Pumpkins
Strokes
Vampire Weekend
Wilco
there is no way Fever Ray is even in talks. Karin stated that 2010 she would be working on material for the Knife and be back in the studio. Even a recent article in CoS confirms that.
Grace Jones?
Bat for Lashes and Grizzly Bear need to be there.
That long anon list is pretty baseless. Some of those will probably be there, but the vast majority will not. To use the phrase "in talks", this late in the process about A Place to Burh Strangers, Digweed, etc pretty much solidifies them as a liar.
beachhouse????
@anon1024: probably, but I'm not 100% on them yet.
@anon734: probably, but I'm not 100% on her yet.
@anon556: Arcade Fire (probably not), Green Day (probably not), Beastie Boys (fairly likely), Echo + The Bunnymen (not sure), Fever Ray (probably not), Flaming Lips (probably not), Gorillaz (not sure), Grizzly Bear (not sure), Jay-Z (probably not), LCD (fairly likely), Smashing Pumpkins (not sure), Strokes (not sure), Vampire Weekend (likely), Wilco (probably not)
@anon626: if you're physically holding a copy of their new album in your hand in March or April, then sure, but otherwise, expect zero chance of touring from them
@anon522: I would be all for Stevie Wonder, but I have not heard that as a possibility.
@anon136: 311 are probably due, but also charge too much for the yearly reggae/So Cal sublime-sound spot, so I would not count on it.
@anon832: They are definitely a possibility.
@anon1000: I agree.
Steeeeviiiie Wonder?
Hey Monk any chance of Fat Boy Slim being there?
Sade?
Fatboy Slim just played in '08. He wouldn't be back so soon.
Gorillaz ARE playing. They are headlining.
You can't confirm that??? Who are your sources, Monklish?
This is not a rumor. THIS IS HAPPENING. And this isn't from a fansite either.
Perhaps if you ask the right reps (i.e. those in the know) they will point you in the right direction, Monk.
How about The Stone Roses, Monk? I can sense you would love that as much as I would.
Gorillaz are absolutely not headlining. Who are your sources?
The headliners are pretty much set already, and I can tell you they will please many people.
More in talks:
Busta Rhymes
Basement Jaxx
Monklish:
Scott Walker?
anon:544p
who are the supposed headliners then?
born ruffians will have a new record any word on them or any of the Valarie acts
@anon216: a Christmas miracle! (probably never)
@ Anon 5:44, who are these "set headliners" you speak of? If you know and don't want to reveal it on Monklish's blog, why not start your own and leave us the link! Thanks again Monklish, this blog keeps me sane.
Can you list a top 10 for headliners?
it isn't too hard for anyone to come on here who has inside information and tell what they know. there are MANY people who have this type of info, most just decide not to share for whatever reason. the problem with coachella is that they consitently low ball artists every year, which makes way for things like the 08 disaster....compare any other domestic festival's lineup from that year and you'll see that the lackluster lineup was not due to a lack of tours. they WOULD have had a stellar lineup this year, but again, they're are more repeats than i would care to mention, and the headliners are even less deserving that those who have been deemed less that headliner worthy. get ready for a letdown. this festival is coming to an end, all points west it GV's focus.
no orbital, NO PAVEMENT, muse headlining two nights. you heard it here first.
Fri- The Strokes
Sat-Rolling Stones
Sun- Van Morrison
Say what u want about GV but they always bring something for everybody to Chella.
Thanks for the great christmas news anon311. Bah humbug.
@Anon 314- Incorrect
@Dr. Disco- (band headliners only, no DJs)
Here is a good starting point, but I can't guarantee all options are on there.
Beastie Boys
The Flaming Lips
Gorillaz
Green Day
Jay-Z
Muse
Pavement
Pearl Jam
The Rolling Stones
The Smashing Pumpkins
Soundgarden
The Strokes
To Anon 3:11 and 3:13, the 2008 lineup was fantastic at Coachella! Prince, Roger Waters? If you don't like these two artists then you have no appreciation for music at all, they defined psychedelic rock and funk.
you can all go fuck yourselves
@anon311: You are absolutely incorrect in about mostly every thing you have said. Goldenvoice doesn't consistently low ball artists. Performers make more at Coachella than just about any other appearance on their entire tours (including other festivals).
As for calling 2008 a debacle, compared to Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo, if you discredit the repeat artists that you don't care to mention, the difference in headliners was that they had Kanye, Pearl Jam and Metallica. I would take Prince over any of those. If you are just a disappointed Radiohead fan, then measuring success of festivals is never going to be your forte.
^^^
U tell him Monk! So on ur next update are u gonna post the headliners?
yeah coachella 2008 had a terrible, train wreck of a lineup...hahaha.
Coachella 2008 had the only Prince festival performance I am aware of, Aphex Twin and Portishead's only US shows since I was maybe 11, probably the largest production of Roger Water's DSOTM tour, Fatboy Slim, The Verve's first US reunion show, Justice, MMJ, KRAFTWERK, and a great under card of Animale Collective, Battles, Holy Fuck, The Cool Kids, etc.
2008 was incredible. So many good bands, and the crowd was awesome. Possibly the best Coachella.
Yeah 2008 was probably the best Coachella. I don't know what the fuck that idiot was talking about.
oh can i confirm beach house? their tour should be announced soon
any news on other headlining Sahara artists , besides orbital if they do attend ?
What words... super, a remarkable idea
I've gone to the last 3 coachellas and 2008 was definitely my favorite.
2008 Coachella certainly DID NOT suck. In fact, I'm worried that no Coachella will ever top 2008 for me.
2009 was a big snoozefest, aside from some obviously amazing acts.
Here's hoping for a kick ass line up in 2010!!
Thanks Monklish - keep it up :)
@Anon 6:26
All that I know of right now is:
Above And Beyond
Basement Jaxx
LCD Soundsystem
Moby
Orbital
Tiesto
YAY lets hear it for COACHELLA 08! which was my favorite Coachella too, but let's face it...I've never had a bad time at Coachella not even close. Hell i've already lay-awayed my ticket without knowing the official line-up......& as far as that one dude who said "fatboy slim played in 08 so it isn't likely they will be playing again"...uhh HELLO coachella repeats ALOT of the same artist's even back to back....Perry Farrell Anyone??
Monk, what about Massive Attack? They said they will be doing the festival circuit once they finish their Euro tour early next year.
How serious of a contender are the Strokes for one of the headlining spots? I think they would be a great opener for the Stones if GV was able to snag them.
It depends who else is headlining. Either The Strokes will be in The Killers spot in 09. Or they would open for someone bigger like Morrissey did for McCartney, or My Bloody Valentine did for The Cure in 09.
Based on who GV is talking to, it is unlikely they would get a headlining spot. Unless money became a big issue. Because I am sure they are cheaper then many of the other possible headliners.
Roger Waters (2008) was by far the best Coachella performance... Its stupid to say that 2008 was weak.
Massive Attack/Air/Hercules and love affair for 2010!
Yes, Coachella has repeat acts, but not repeat Sahara headliners two years apart. We aren't talking about a last line act that is moving up and therefore has earned another spot; we're talking about a major act here. Perry isn't a major act-he's mostly a Coachella joke at this point.
shut up Coachella-goer, who hit your buzzer as know-it-all??? and there are plenty of acts repeated year to year, and it's not necessarily because they are "last line acts" that are moving up. Just saying. I'm sure that isn't news to you though seeing as how you most know every years line-up by heart.
Monk - is there any truth to the U2 rumors? ugh i hope not, WASTE OF MONEY... if you ask me.
ugh, I hope not!! so sick of U2... most overrated band of ALL TIME!!! Bono is a #2! (South Park anyone?!?)
Hey Monk how long b4 we start hearing about a Soundgarden reunion on a major website? I think everybody that keeps up with the Chella board knows about it. But it would be nice to really have some hard core evidence. Early January?
You're a fucking moron if you think The Strokes could headline Coachella.
i heard today on the radio that some of the band members of Soundgarden arent ready for a reunion , but Chris is for it . hopefully they do get together for a tour , starting with Coachella !
Charlotte Gainsbourg?
Charlotte and Beck please!
Cry much, anon1005?
Charlotte and Beck please!
I second this.
So when is the soonest we can expect a new update? Surely sooner than a month, right? By then KROQ and Ryan Seacrest will be announcing the lineup. And Beck would be very nice.
^^^^
I would say prly next week. Everybody is on break right now. Im sure a few websites will start to shape up the headliners by next Fri.
you going to update before seacrest does monk??
official line-ups generally don't come out until like January 21-22 sometime around then...it's been that way for a few years
Yeah, what's your point?
Krist Noveselic lied!!! Soundgarden reunion in 2010 mofos :
http://www.soundgardenworld.com/
You were right, Monk..you were right..
Fuck off to all the monk haters, u suck
Before everyone gets antsy and impatient about the lineup, here's a history of past lineup announcements:
2009: January 31st
2008: January 22nd
2007: January 22nd
2006: January 31st
2005: January 31st
2004: February 8th
2003: February 19th
Let history show that we could still be waiting another full month to get the facts, so there's no point in setting yourself up for impending disappointment when the names don't come out by the date you think they will.
My guess for the release date is on the 25th.
monk , if your guess is right then we will all know for sure that are legit , not that i ever doubted you . thanks for your blog
Monk,
When you gonna drop the Headliners? Even if you aren't 100%, any chance you could drop your 6 headliners over the next 3 weeks, maybe 2 a week, one sahara and one main stage? Thanks, you have been keeping me sane, or insane.
Muse
Beastie Boys
Rolling Stones
god I hope not
Lineup won't be out 'til February 4th.
Somebody posted this on CoS:
Muse
Beastie Boys
Rolling Stones
Soundgarden
Gorillaz
Pavement
Public Image Ltd.
Massive Attack
Interpol
LCD Soundsystem
Daft Punk
Orbital
I hope it's true. Monklish, return! I crave info!
Gorillaz would headline over the beastie boys or Muse in my opinion, and there is no way Daft would play the Sahara again, they would be main stage.
Your opinion is fucking retarded.
Daft Punk would def be main stage and Beastie boys would absolutely headline over Gorillaz.
So if Daft Punk is gonna be there I bet the days would look something like this:
Fri: Muse, Orbital
Sat: Beastie Boys, LCD Soundsystem
Sun: Daft Punk, maybe a pretty big band like gorillaz open for DP.
Daft Punk seem to have been pretty clear that they aren't doing shows in 2010. But a boy can still hope...
Any word on Massive Attack and AIR?
i hope that tiesto doesnt make the line up, he was horrible on 2007, a waste of money for that act.
http://www.nme.com/news/the-rolling-stones/49080
Stones are out.
^^^
well this news sucks ! so , Bowie probably wont play , Daft Punk isnt touring , RHCP just lost their guitarist ( so they are out ) , i dont think Gorillaz are ready ( but better than J. Johnson ) whos left that is headliner material ?
Smashing Pumpkins ?
Pearl Jam ?
Flaming Lips ?
U2 ?
The Gorillaz performance will be legendary.
Hey Monk u got anything new to add? I hate the dog days of January lol
MONK WHERE ARE U!?
Only think I can think of with Stones out is.. .
Fri: Muse / Pavement
Sat: Gorillaz
Sun: Pearls Jam/ Soundgarden
ARCADE FIRE
Fri: Muse / Pavement
Sat: Gorillaz
Sun: Pearls Jam/ Soundgarden
Sounds pretty reasonable to me. And if they have LCD Soundsystem, Orbital and maybe Royksopp or DeadMaus
I really hope the lineup comes out a bit earlier this year. Have u heard anything that may push it back this year Monk?
Pearl Jam is out
come on monk throw us a bone..
any guess of what the headliners will be... we dont see to many options
Monk, throw us a bone.
What about Pearl Jam/Soundgarden co headlining?
Any word on Massive Attack?
Gorillaz?
No big updates yet. I have just a few smaller bands that do not need a full update. By next week, I hope to have another good update.
@anon447 Do not expect the Arcade Fire to play.
@anon922 Do not expect Massive Attack to play. Not sure on Gorillaz
Pearl Jam and Soundgarden and Smashing Pumpkins would be a total 90's overload!
@anon728 The Rolling Stones should not be counted out just because they have not announced tour dates for 2010 'at the moment'.
Not headlining:
Daft Punk
Beastie Boys
Arcade Fire
Green Day
The Flaming Lips!
Beastie Boys and Daft Punk not Headlining or not playing period?
No Soundgraden at Coachella.
Yes to..
Gorillaz
Orbital
Fever Ray
Beastie Boys
Thom Yorke
Pavement
Yes that Jay-Z
No Massive Attack makes me very sad. Specially after listening to their new album.
R.E.M.?
Blur?
Goldfrapp?
okay monklish , you said dont expect Arcade Fire to play , then you say not headlineing . im confused . also BBoys not headlineing ??? whats going on ?!
If Beastie Boys were at Coachella they wouldn't subheadline.
Daft Punk DJ Set
I wonder what's up with Massive Attack.
I did not say that Massive Attack will not be at Coachella. I just do not expect them to be there. I can easily be wrong.
However, Arcade Fire and Daft Punk definitely will not be at Coachella.
@anon951 hmm
That would be shocking if the Beastie Boys were there and DIDN'T headline.
BBoys can sub headline . i dont care , as long as they are there . who could they open for though that would be a good transition ? any ideas ?
actually that wouldn't be so shocking. The BB's aren't as big as they used to be. Plus, Coachella is a much different festival then it was in 2003. They could always "co-headline".
Paul T, said last year that they dont have that many options of headliners or subheadliners..
If the beastie boys are saying that they want to play in coachella, i dont see why Paul T doesnt make that happen...
and Massive Attack with their new album and tour coming to the US and Mexico... dont see how can they just pass on them
I would not be surprised to see Beasties and Gorillaz co-headlining. If Massive Attack isn't there, it's because they delayed their original tour plans and will instead be at other festivals later in the year.
yeah, the obvious transition of co-headliners for one of the nights that makes the most sense is Beastie Boys and Gorillaz, with the Gorillaz getting the superior later set time. I've seen both live multiple times and as far as the overall spectacle of entertainment, and by that I basically mean production value, the Gorillaz can do a lot more. trust me.
as of right now, I can see Beasties & Gorillaz co-headlining the first night, Muse the 2nd night, & Soundgarden the last night. never was the biggest Soundgarden fan, but those headliners ain't too shabby in my opinion.
^^
I can definitely see Gorrilaz and BBoys Co Headlining a night. I'm sure once Bboys release there album they'll be everywhere on tour. I'm not to sure about Gorillaz. This would prly would a lot of ppls time to see them live. So I could understand if GV was to does this.
lots of y'all seem to be very cautious about the Gorillaz for some reason. not sure if you're just not into their music or whatever...but don't fool yourselves, people...the Gorillaz are SICK and can hold a headlining set time down just fine at a place like Coachella. Damon Albarn is a pro's pro & they will turn that main stage area into a full-on dance party! not to mention they use a lot of guest stars & musicians on various tracks, which is always awesome for festivals. we should all be stoked at the possibility of them headlining a night...even at the Beasties expense!
^^^
i agree , i would be happy if both were there the same night , makes since to me , these 2 on the polo fields would be a party indeed !!!
OUTKAST !!!???
Monklish, any comment on the color change of the coachella forum? Lineup this week?
http://blog.lp33.tv/festivals/coachella-2010-lineup-leaks
Do you know anything about this?
@anon555 probably not
@anon608 it is very black and green. probably not.
@anon705 they're right about some of the list. seems like they just took the Consequence of Sound list and added in a few guesses.
Yeah that's what I thought
Hey Monk are u still sticking by Soundgarden not headlining? Or has that changed...
If Beastie Boys are not headlining, they would open for someone BIG. Like Morrissey did in 09. Any ideas? Are Rolling Stones still out of it?
Hey Monk,
Great job as always. Any truth to the R.E.M talk or can we dismiss them as well? What about Grizzly Bear?
Dont think Soundgarden could headline... they are definitly a sub-h
As Monk has said a couple of times
when are you going to post your final predictions Monk? W/headliners? Line up should be out shortly.
Monk, you forgot that Passion Pit was just confirmed.
hey monk,
im bringing a tour over there from Australia, around 30 of us. need to update our website....when does Golden Voice release official lineup??
Also i heard rumours of....
Daft Punk
Blur
Chilli Peppers
Led Zeppelin
could you help me out!?
Coldplay
No Doubt-Outkast
Radiohead.
