Oh shit.
Thom Yorke
Hey Monk,
What about LCD Soundsystem?
COS confirmed them today.
OMG, if this is true.
Holy. Shit.
I realllllly hope that Orbital is up against Muse.
Thom fucking Yorke!
@chuchoefinca Fixed that. Forgot them.
holy shit. gorillaz, orbital, thom yorke, pavement, lcd soundsystem...please be right, monk
Are the Beastie Boys considered a headliner?
I guess this is your final prediction?
Any word on when the official lineup drops?
If this is correct I would be a very happy camper.
Where did Thom Yorke come from?
The UK.
Monklish, I remember last year, you had pretty good insight into the date that the lineup was being released. Of course this year rumors are flying that it's going to be out in a few days, which would be unusual. Any thoughts or ideas you can share about when its coming?
Negrodamus,
Can you forsee when the line up will be released?
Thank You.
I hope you're right - although if that list ends up containing the headliners, it's probably Gorillaz, Muse, Soundgarden
No Beasties they had to back out cause that guy is about to die. So sad.
Jay Reatard confirmed.
@3:52 Fuck you
tnx for the update.. monk!
ANY WORD ON:
MASSIVE ATTACK
AIR
HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR
INTERPOL
?
Any truth to coachellaleaks twitter page saying that we should get the lineup this week?
Thom Yorke! Hopefully I will be explain to a friend or two how much better his voice is than Matt Bellamy's! That would be hilarious if he subheadlined right under Muse.
Ok Monk...
Everyone has these 2 questions:
1. When does the lineup drop?
2. Are the Beastie Boys the 3rd headliner?
Headliners and subs (not in any order)-
Muse, Gorillaz, Soundgarden, The Flaming Lips, Thom Yorke, Jay-Z, Beastie Boys.
THOM YORKE!! been saying it for months, I hope you're right Monk!! great line-up so far, I'm liking it a lot...
Please, please, I pray you confirm Thom Yorke! Holy sh*t, his shows in LA were freaking fantastic! And he might play with FLEA! Flea and Joey Waronker. yes, yes, yes...
Sahara headliners and subs (not in any order)-
LCD Soundsystem, Orbital, Above And Beyond, Basement Jaxx, John Digweed, Moby, Tiesto
Any word on Scott Walker?
The third headliner is a mystery just like GV wants it to be, because it is big. Its not Beasties, or Soundgarden. Hova could be but i put that at less than 50%.
i hope it's jay z...
i mean, watch this..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xp_ge6RtP4
Scott Walker performing The Drift and then guesting with Bat for Lashes is confirmed to appear in my dreams.
jay z will not be playing. he's playing staples center 3 weeks before coachella. this falls under the black out rule.
There have been exceptions to that rule.
not only would I die to know the third headliner, though I think it's Clapton or Outkast, but I would love to see a classic Coachella gimmick or two on this line-up. I truly love when someone performs an entire album in it's entirety (like Waters in 08) or when someone huge does the tent even when they are clearly huge enough for mainstage (Madonna). So I would love to see something like that, but please don't have it be Lady GaGa in the tent (ugh) or something stupid like that. Jay Z would be neat in the tent. I would love it if it was announced that the Beasties were doing Paul's Boutique. A huge reunion for the third one would be neat, like say Clapton and Cream! Or maybe an odd combo that is not going to be a tour nor will it ever be one but rather just specific to Coachella - like Elton John & Eminem or Jay Z and Eminem....or Neil Young and Eddie Vedder or something cool and odd.....just something new to remind us how original Coachella can be!
BlakRoc? Any chance??
if Thom Yorke is indeed confirmed, I'm sure he'll have his whole new side band with Flea, Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker, & Mauro Refosco. it will be pure magic!!! Orpheum shows in Oct. were ridik!!!
I really really really hope that Jay Z is not the third headliner ! I cant stand rap music , my opinion....so there it is !
What's going to be in the dance tent this year?
^
Bassnectar
Orbital
Bazzment Jaxx
Bloody Beetroots ( i hope )
and lots of kids ....... blah !
@ Skyler Stone: rest assured, Clapton will not be in the Polo Field in April, nor will Elton John.
@ 8:37 , Jay Z would be okay , but i agree , not as a headliner , but who are we to decide ? Always seems to be that one headliner somebody dislikes , and doesnt agree should have that spot . My advise to those , go to one of the other stages and find what is more your taste in music .
Bloody Beetroots will NOT be there, they are in France that weeken
I just watched the JayZ set at Glastonbury on YouTube - that guy knows how to perform and would be great. I guess we'll see if it happens.
hey Monk...have you actually heard anything about Basement Jaxx playing Coachella?? I keep hearing rumors about them, but nothing substantial.
Thom Yorke @ Noon on Sunday
Could we consider Thom Yorke (and Flea for that matter) confirmed right now?
Lineup tonight. Tickets on sale next week.
I wish not agree on it. I think polite post. Expressly the title attracted me to read the intact story.
I polite not agree on it. I expressly intact post. Think the title attracted me to read the polite story.
Hey Monk,
Is this going to be your final prediction before the lineup comes out? Do you actually know if it'll come out next week or the week after?
Thanks again.
P.S.: Can u please find out if Massive Attack is at least a possibility?
KROQ has said to some people that they are announcing next tuesday.
Heard anything on this?
Just heard lineup on Monday "probably"
I HOPE MASSIVE ATTACK MAKES THE LIST!
I just heard (from a very reliable source) that the lineup will be posted late tonight. KROQ will not be notified, but look for a release to the LA Times around midnight.
I've heard (from two sources) that the lineup was supposed to be tonight but delayed to sometime on Monday.
I heard from a source that told me both of you were idiots.
lol @anon 423
I R THEIR SOURCE!! I r so reliable.
I just heard (from a very reliable source) that the lineup has already been posted. Listen to KROQ for clues on where to find the lineup poster, as it is hidden somewhere in the LA area.
Lineup isn't coming out this weekend.
can you debunk any more headliners Monk?
Which ones need debunking?
Monk not this weekend but TUESDAY...
No?
Rolling Stones? Neil Young? REM?
No REM.
No Neil Young.
Probably not the Rolling Stones.
I said awhile ago that I would guess that the lineup is out on the 18th or the 25th. I am sticking with that. If it is coming out on Monday, people will know that's true on Sunday. It could come out on Tuesday, sure, but we will not know that until Monday.
Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so don't expect a leak on Sunday night.
so outside of jay z, no clue on the 3rd headliner?
Monk:
Massive Attack?
massive attack is the 3rd headliner
You're also missing Proxy... who is definitely playing. Lock it.
Monk -
You're killing us...
Any idea about the third headliner? Do you have any ideas?
Simon & Garfunkle?
I heard that Simon and Garfunkel will be a late add (with special guest Garth Brooks).
Hey Monk, what about Pearl Jam or Coldplay? could they be headliner no.3?
The Cure is headlining Sunday.
Does anyone know if Soundgarden is actually confirmed?
Alec Empire will be there.
Wait for it...
(one more hour)
add japandroids to the list. a natural gap in their tour fits coachella
Pearl Jam would be great...
What's the source on the proxy confirmation? I'm excited if true!
No lineup today. Now will all you delusional fucks stop trying to brainwash people into getting their hopes up like you?
I AM AN ESCALADE
i am an escalade
Any word on Owen Pallett?
MASSIVE ATTACK???
IS IT POSIBLE?
I RENT THE ESCALADE. I RENT THEM UP.
The lineup will be shown during the end credits of Avatar this weekend but only if you see it in 3D!
What happens if I make a crime?
If you make a crime, you automatically get stabbed with aidz needlez.
lady gaga?
her dates are open...
She'll be in Japan you stupid mother fucker.
BOWIE
C & C Music Factory reunion to close out Sunday night. Get ready for it. "Just a squirrel, trying to get a nut to move that butt."
She can do a lot of things in two days you ass sucking cunt puncher.
Right. It's not like Lady Gaga has a production team and a whole stage show to bring with her.
Derrrr.
Its David Bowie.
Conan O'Brien performing that lullaby with the crazy footage reel playing on screens like he used to do on the Late Night show to close out Coachella! LOL
Muse & Jay-Z Friday night.
rusko playing with major lazor in sf on fri the 16th could def be there
KROQ ( L.A. radio ) is suppose to announce the line up this tuesday morning , so lets hope Coachella launches the new site monday ! fingers crossed
Also , seems like Gorillaz have been confirmed !
Last , but not least , third headliner.......... Ziggy returns to Earth 4/18/10 ( also fingers crossed )
10, 9, 8
^^^
i dont get it ?
My mother said to get things done, you better not mess with Major Tom.
AHHHH , yes........space oddity . NICE
Ready your bowtie, bring goliath if you must, but you gotta make way for the homo superior.
homo superior . nice shot
So,
Friday: Muse
Saturday: Beastie Boys/Gorillaz
Sunday: Soundgarden/Pearl Jam
^
so wrong
Friday: Muse
Saturday: THE THIN WHITE DUKE THROWING DARTS IN LOVERS' EYES
Sunday: Gorillaz
^^^
yepyep , i love it , i hope its true , please be true .
now , lets see if i can get this right about subs transiton into heads
Beasties - Muse
Faith No More - Bowie
Massive Attack - Gorrilaz
Could Major Tom be landing in the desert this April...Find out Midnight Early Tues... ;)
Beasties will not sub for fucking Muse.
i was only thinking opening for Muse , because id rather see Massive Attack open for Gorillaz . That would be a nice transition , but Beasties any day , any time ....im there !!! Put them in the dome for an exclusive campers only show !!! Now that that would be a party never to forget !
Fuck Muse and their overblown asshattery.
how about ???
Soundgarden - Muse
FNM - Bowie
BBoys - Gorillaz
any way it goes down , im there anyways ( already bought tickets )
its just fun to do this whole spec thing
next year , im willing to pay a nice little price to the best blogger , conditioning who is most correct about the line up , etc.
@ 424
Muse is better than Killers or J. Johnson headlining , do you agree ? Seems like the unlikely event each year lately there has been an undercard ( technically speaking ) . One of these years Coachella will be so huge they will be able to book major headliners for all three nights .
MOAR BAGMAN!
Any thoughts on the Bowie rumors that have popped up today? Same old shit or something to it?
I fuckin love this shit.
Lady Gaga CONFIRMED!!!

Such a treat!
^^
Yeah main stage for sure...
HOCKEY!
I dont know if I am late in the game in bringing this up, so forgive me if this has been squashed already, but what about KINGS OF LEON? They are great at fests and would sell tix for SURE....are they a potential surprise headliner? Could they be headliners yet or would they be subs?????
Kings of Leon arn't playing. Go away.
so let me get this straight...
the potential bands/singers for the 3rd slot are:
-The Stones
-Pearl Jam (maybe, as they are doing a fest in New Orleans)
-Thom Yorke and Flea and Nigel
-Smashing Pumpkins
-Jay Z
-Daft Punk
-Bowie (a relentless reach every yr)
-Eric Clapton
-Outkast
What about these as possible surprises? Metallica, Stevie Wonder (would fill the classic portion quite well), Eminem, or Foo Fighters?
-The Stones No
-Pearl Jam No
-Thom Yorke Couldn't Headline Coachella
-Smashing Pumpkins No
-Jay Z Maybe
-Daft Punk No
-Bowie His PR said no
-Eric Clapton NO!
-Outkast ???
Everyone should be forced to watch "High Fidelity" before suggesting Stevie Wonder. What is wrong with people?
come on Monk...!
any news?
guesses?
throw us a bone.
Saturday could be Dre Day?
Hey Monk!
So the lineup is officially coming out on Tuesday.
So, what is your final guess on the headliners and subheadliners? Give us your best shot! As I stated, it would be a "guess".
Final predictions
Fri- Them Crooked Vultures-> Soundgarden-> Muse
Sat-Faith No More-> Beasties-> Jay-Z
Sun- Thom Yorke-> Pavement-> Gorillaz
FTW!!!
^^^
I'm gonna have to agree with u on those predictions. Sounds very good
Any word on GV trying to get Suede now that they are playing a show in the UK in March? They would be a great reunion band.
As far as 3rd headliner, I am hoping whatever plan A is it works out, I like Hov but not as a headliner at Coachella.
Outkast for sure
FOR SURE
what about LOU REED?
"Bowie- His PR said no"
so? if bowie was going to finally play it'd be a big deal and they would do what they could to make it a suprise..
They would simply not say anything. Not confirm nor deny anything about him playing or not playing.
Saying nothing would be similar to confirming, you would deny.
idiot
I seem to remember all parties involved denying Prince in 08.
FRI,APRIL 16th
mainstage:
MGMT>SOUNDGARDEN>MUSE
sahara:
BASSNECTAR>ORBITAL
SAT,APRIL 17t
mainstage:
THOM YORKE>PAVEMENT>DAVID BOWIE
sahara:
SOULWAX>ABOVE AND BEYOND
SUN,APRIL 18th
mainstage:
FAITH NO MORE>BEASTIE BOYS>GORILLAZ
sahara:
LCD SOUNDSYSTEM>BASEMENT JAXX
@pillowtalk
Thats pretty much correct. Except there is no Bowie. Thom Yorke is closing the Outdoor Stage. Pavement will play in a sub-sub spot. So Sat will look like this
Beastie Boys-Jay-Z
Everything else looks good. There may be some minor changes though. But good job.
If Thom closes the outdoor theater, what day? And does that mean conflicting with a headliner? Assuming you're not full of it, obvs.
the hacker
Why does Coachella have to turn into a hip-hop cavalcade? Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Kanye West????? What has happened to Coachella?
I know Coachella is about the under card, but if Jay-Z and the crew are one of the headliners, this will be the last year I buy in advance. What about Interpol? Arcade Fire? The Pixies? Fuck...other festivals get these bands, and so what if Pixies have played in the past? What about Interpol before everyone gets them? What about Arcade Fire for the same reason? Muse is bad enough.
What has happened to Coachella? They diversified. It's called Diversity Today, not Diversity Tomorrow.
I agree with Anonymous 7:37pm. Just when you thought you had Coachella figured at getting headliners that would meet the newish mainstream act/influential nostalgia act/classic rock act headliner festival of the past two years, they changed the game again and will confuse all other festivals who've been trying to mimic them. While your tastes may not agree with it, Coachella is doing what it does best: Embraces diversity. It's already had Interpol, Arcade Fire and so on. Let the other festivals have them. You're forgetting that Coachella had them first. I'm also willing to bet that while you may not see your average Coachella festival goer attending a Jay Z show on their own, expect to be surprised at how many people are going to jump at the chance at doing so when all their other favorite indie/electronic/alternative/whatever bands are playing on the same day as him.
My problem with Jay-Z is I just don't feel like it's an original idea.
This will be a 5th Coachella, but if this is the way it is going, then I might as well stay on the East Coast and just go to Bonnaroo, All Points West, etc. I started going to Coachella because it offered a difference, and Jay-z and the Posse are not it, either are The Killers, Muse, and McCartney. And APW Sucks!
If you are at Coachella to "jump at the chance" to see Jay-Z, then you don't need to be at Coachella. Just go see him on tour at a local arena. The same goes for Killers, Muse, whatever. I'm sure a lot of Coachella regulars don't like this either. Why not bring on Snoop Dogg, Lady Gaga, and every other useless entertainment type performer.
Hey assholes, Coachella is going to be one of the only places in the world this year where you're going to be able to see the Gorillaz and anyone who says that's not original can go fuck themselves. The lineup isn't even out yet and I highly doubt there's any truth to a set from Jigga who is playing L.A 3 weeks prior to the festival. Just because Nostradamus here is saying it MIGHT happen doesn't mean it is. So you could all shut the fuck up.
^I agree! Assholes! fuckin spoiled brats! Gorrilaz will be legendary! Stop asking for shit that has already happened and your whiny about missing it! I said this shit last year! Macca was legendary! This year Somebody will be fuckin legendary! Don go if you dont like it! You just dont get it!
Macca was legendary? Why because he was a Beatle? IT SUCKED!!! Gorillaz? Oh great, some animated bullshit! Why not bring on Josie and the Pussycats!
^^^ Dumbshit
Monk are u gonna give us a final update?
"Macca was legendary? Why because he was a Beatle? IT SUCKED!!! Gorillaz? Oh great, some animated bullshit! Why not bring on Josie and the Pussycats!?"
^ What a fucking retard.
I started the Jay-Z rumor. There is no real basis to it. lol.
josie and the pussy cats would be wild
Come to think of it, Josie and the Pussycats would be wild!
Coachella always offers a band that no one else even thought of getting or couldn't pull even if they tried. Look at the last 2 years: Roger Waters, Sir Paul, Leonard Cohen, Prince, Throbbing Gristle. It is the premier festival in the US, if you don't like the lineup go chug beers and sweat your ass off at Bonarroo or Lolla and enjoy sub-par lineups. COACHELLA is gonna be great this year!
IT'S THE PIXIES.
they'll be in australia in march.......just like pavement
My final guess
Fri: Muse /Pavement
Sat:Outkast /Beastie Boys
Sun:Gorillaz/Soundgarden
