FIRST!
what about a classic rock name? who is left that has not donex it? Clapton? Neil Young? Would they bring back Waters again Monk for The Wall...i have to think not on Waters, as he is doing SO many shows here in LA and OC in Dec that it just would not be special i dont think....would two members of The Who really be The Who?? Could Paul finally score the Talking Heads u think?
and do u think that Eminem could be a potential headliner? he could do Friday like Jay Z did...he is cool , hip, edgy....been touring in the last year and has new material....and if he did do it, do u see Dr Dre doing it with him?
What about Pulp?
yea,
http://thescenestar.typepad.com/ss/2010/11/pulp-to-reunite-in-2011.html#more
please please please any confirmation on pulp?
So, so, so very excited to see Magnetic Man on that list!
I wish the Beastie Boys were taken off.
Any possibility that Beady Eye may be there?
Monk can I assume Groove Armada is Live ? ? ? ? ?
Thanks for the update Monk.
There is nothing very exciting on that list except for Godspeed You! Black Emperor. And maybe Magnetic Man if I were 16 and had just discovered E.
It's looking like it'll be LOLchella.
Groove Armanda LIVE??? I hope it is! :D
quit hating on the BB boys!!!!!!!
What are the chances of seeing the red hot chili peppers play?
The economy must really be awful if the Beastie Boys are a headliner.
Beasties are not a headliner people, relax
I hope not. The tents are going to be pretty crowded when the Beastie Boys take the stage.
YOU DON"T HAVE TO WATCH THE BEASTIE BOYS. There are so many other bands besides headliners. They'll probly be second line anyways. SHHHH baby birds.
To the people bitching already...First of all. The Beastie Boys are headlining material. They're bigger, better, and beastier than the fucking Gorillaz..no comparison in terms of legacy...and Anon @1:36 is correct...You don't have to watch them. In fact, I probably won't. But if you people want to write off the whole festival because the HEADLINERS don't include Radiohead and Bowie, awesome, because the lower tier acts are gonna be real exciting as always. Who goes to Coachella for the headliners anyway? seriously.
Groove Armada is doing DJ Sets in '11, not 'Live'
http://www.inthemix.com.au/news/aust/48091/Parklife_to_be_Groove_Armadas_lastever_live_band_tour?utm_source=rssfeed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+inthemix_news+(inthemix+|+inside+dance+music)
If you go to the festival only for the headliners...you probably don't listen to music
Who goes to the festival for headliners?
How about the 60k morons jumping up and down for Jay-Z or the gigantic douchefest waving their hands in the air for the Killers.
Give me a fucking break and stop acting like stuck up music pussies.
Coachella is a 3 day Jingle Ball that has jumped the shark.
i've been tipped by some sources that the Beastie Boys will headline if and only if the "BIG" acquisition Goldenvoice is trying to woo falls thru.....so all you dumb dumbs settle down.
like its been said go watch someone else if Beasties aren't your cup of tea, btw Coachella doesn/t need super huge headliners to fill to capacity and if the Beastie Boys follow that notion no worries, people will shell out lots of money to be there whether they headline or not.
but I can assure that GV realizes the Beastie Boys decreased popularity, they are shooting for them to be subs, maybe getting a 70-80 min set as respect but GV has something up their sleeve to restore the slight "edge" they lost for getting Jay Z as a headliner
so all you that think they have it all figured out....you don't
how bout you let it unfold and appreciate that whomever the headliners end up being Goldenvoice is going to wreck shit up with a great undercard and "surprise" acts you'll later be telling yourself "oh, gee...why didn't think of that?"
@ ballroomdancer...
Well said, and I hope so.
And for the other people who say "who goes to festivals for the headliners?", try 80% of the crowd. It's a big, big deal to finish off each day with a major act. You're kidding yourselves if you doubt that.
So does the new LA date for Godspeed lower their chances of playing?
80% of the crowd can suck it
If you don't Go for the headliners you still want the day to be a natural progression in quality of acts, musical ability, stage presence, wow factor. My 2 favorite shows last year were LCD and thom yorke and they were better than any band I had seem earlier in the day.
BB are going to be there, I'm not stoked to see them so l head to sahara and dance my brains out and hopefully come back to the mainstage after for Daft Punk. If not I'll trip my balls of get lost for a while and end up on the glow in the dark swings and have the best night of my life. So either way it's a win win.
To be brutally honest with you. I hate 75% of people who post on this blog. I thought this was suppose to be a discussion blog. Not a whiny complainer dumb pointless remarks blog.
Does It Offend You, Yeah? New track leaked on their website, and new album would be epic material live at Coachella.
Surfer Blood!
FOALS OH MY GOD DEAD
The list has the typical list anyone that follows and attends Coachella could predict, some new, some old, some...here some others I would expect and hope for: Surfer Blood, Pains of Being Pure At Heart, Suede, Pulp, Strokes, Roxy Music, Drums,
^suede pulp strokes... Now that's an undercard!
@ Jake - you mad
anon @3:50
You called 60k people cheering for Jay-Z and the Killers morons...you sir or madam, are a stuck up music pussy.
This would mark the Beastie's first show back right?
Do NOT expect Suede to be there. Swans, GBV and Teenage Fanclub will most likely be there.
On Monklish's last post, commenter Anon 9:49 said to expect these artists
Justice
Pendulum
Kanye West
Bryan Ferry/Roxy
Four Tet
Magnetic Man
Tortoise
Twin Shadow
Chromeo
Warpaint
Wavves
The National
Avi Buffalo
3 of those artists (Magnetic Man, Warpaint, and Four Tet) appeared on this updated post, and i know another on the list is confirmed but not yet listed by Monklish, which leads to the question...
How many other artists listed above are going to appear?
Pulp? Gang of Four? Roxy Music?
Also, any word on Faithless or Leftfield?
People on this blog are fucked up. Take it easy and enjoy, stop being crazy.
And..... The Killers, are like most knowledgeable music lovers would agree, not of great quality. People who refute this, simply get angry because they feel they are being attacked for the kind of music they adore----> eople, RELAX!
no one is attacking you for the music you love, just stating an obvious fact. Would you put the Killers, and let's say for sake of comparison, the Who side by side in genius?
Think about it before you start getting angry.
if not, YOU ARE PRETTY MUCH A FUCK.
How about some dick?
PS love dick?
IF anyone on this blog says the Killers suck dick (in an awesome way) Im going to give them an Alaskan Fire Dragon.
i love you monk
i blame global warming for the beasties headlining!!! :) hehehe jk they are the shit and theyre a way better headliner than the killers, jay z, or jack jackoff... love the list so far though.. keep it coming monk..
people let's all hold hands and wait for the lineup gods to bless us with their best wet dream of a lineup you could ever imagine....Coach is ALWAYS the experience of a lifetime(s).
im pretty sure a band cant suck when they are headliners, if you are saying that 80% of the crowd sucks than your a minority therefore something is wrong with you when everyone else likes something and you think its the worst band ever. any way your going to end up going if you are reading this blog so why complain just get some updates and if you like it good, if you dont good as well
Rene - You really think the Beastie Boys are better than Jay-Z?
Beastie Boys = HORRIBLE
@Monklish please don't delete your old posts
Monk, when can we expect another update? Would you ever except independent tips + proof via email?
Every year there is some headliner people bitch about. If people like bitching about the Beastie Boys, let them, because that proves they are ignorant and closed minded. The Beasties are one of THE most important bands of our time. Pioneers of punk, hip-hop and production. They headlined 'Roo a few years back and it was dope as fuck.
All I'm going to say is when they play "Sabotage", you will shit.
Side note: No Thom Yorke, Johnny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Phil Selway or Ed O'Brien......get over it.
"The Beasties are one of THE most important bands of our time."
LOL
Worst headliner ever.
Add Ratatat.
@anon1048: Sure. If it is legitimate.
monklish AT gmail DOT com
I agree that the Beasties are one of the most important bands of our time.
I also love the Killers
My two favorite bands of all time are the Talking Heads & Belle and Sebastian.
I love Bonnie "Prince" Billy
I love Usher
I love Billy Joel
I love Phantogram
I love Clipse
You people need chill the f out and open your minds.

Looks good. Proof?
Could it really look something like that Monk?
That's probably fake, as several artists are listed on the wrong days
I also think the Fleet Foxes are the greatest thing to happen since Belle & Sebastian. Seen em 6 times, excited that they're on the potential lineup again.
I posted it, it's definitely fake. Just speculating.
...& wishing
...realistically
Any list that denotes a dance act as "LIVE" is automatically fake.
haha I said it was fake
But with your knowledge any word on Belle & Sebastian turning up back at the Polo grounds? Also, any more news on Sahara acts?
Now that you're with us Monk, Daft or no daft?
Give it to us.
I don't know why so many peoe think coachella is not going to get radiohead. Greenwood just said that the new Album is almost done and that they would be doing a large tour in support. Coachella could be the beginning of said tour and then off to Europe and then back for an American leg and play la 3 months later. It makes perfect sense to me. Plus they just had thom yorke, so you don't think they already floated him an offer sheet last year for thr coming year? Supposidly GV actively pursued Blur 2 years ago and who did they get last year, Albarn's Gorillaz. This has been in the works for many many months.
Killers fans are so defensive about being Killers fans.
Blur couldn't headline a night at Coachella. They aren't big enough in the states. Subheadliner, yes. Headliner, no.
Word is that Buffalo Springfield may tour next year. This would be worth it just to hear "For What Its Worth."
DIOYY
anon 8:46 dont wish for Buffalo Springfield to be there just so you can hear "For What Its Worth" they have alot of other songs that blow that one out of the water, youre obviously a "I saw them so I could say I saw them" person.
To anon 1:50 How the fuck do you know why I want to see them? Fuck You.
Guy above me is mad.
I heard that the response to this Coachella lineup will be worse than the pedophile book on Amazon.com.
Cee Lo seems like a safe bet.
So Monk , word is Daft Punk has been signed . Contract has been signed and , they will be playing 2011 . True ?
Even if you dont say , i already know . Your cred is just better than mine .
@anon729: I did not know that Dennis Miller read my blog.
@surreal
Were good on DP.
@I'mBack We're good meaning it's confirmed? or We're good as in no thank?
no thanks*
@Anon 2:27
Patience is a virtue. But if you believe, they will come.
Realistically were looking at an great Coachella this year with amazing electronic/dance acts. There will be some Coachella veterans and Coachella newcomers.
@ Anon 2:27
I can't straight forward answer that question right now. All I can say is don't worry about it ;)
So.....Pink Floyd reunion ????
Any word on this probably happening ?
what about a classic rock name? who is left that has not donex it? Clapton? Neil Young? Would they bring back Waters again Monk for The Wall...i have to think not on Waters, as he is doing SO many shows here in LA and OC in Dec that it just would not be special i dont think....would two members of The Who really be The Who?? Could Paul finally score the Talking Heads u think?
Did you watch the super bowl halftime show? The Who are terrible these days. I can just imagine 60 thousand hipsters pretending to enjoy Pinball Wizard
It is looking good for Daft Punk.
daft punk baby. thanks monk
Goldenvoice has two months to entice pulp. Let's roll.
Monk-
So we've got Arcade Fire and Daft Punk. Who is #3?
(please don't say the beastie boys)
@Anon 9:18
DP isn't going to be the only headlining act that night. So look for 2 more.
Beasties are the co-head with daft punk. I'm sure that's gonna be Saturday or Sunday depending on the quality of the final headliner....I'm betting Floyd, radiohead, or the white stripes
anon 1:56 Floyd!? FLOYD!? How can you bet on Pink Floyd being there? I will give you $10,000,000 and a blowjob if they play next year. Fun fact: thats the same deal Paul T is gonna have to give the Floyd if they play, $10,000,000 and blowjobs for each. Never gonna happen. NEVER.
Well, if we get the white stripes it'll be the best Coachella ever.
@Anon 1:56
There will be no Pink Floyd, so don't get your hopes up.
I've been seeing Radiohead being thrown around a lot on here. So I will tell you right now. It is very unlikely we will see Radiohead at Coachella. They have been contacted, but they are still working on their album. They have decided to not make any plans about touring until their album is completely done. I'm not going to 100% debunk them as a rumor, but again, it is unlikely.
@ I'm back - who are the headliners?
Hiya Monk, what are the chances for some recently reunited bands - blur, buffalo springfield, dresden dolls. What about Sufjan or Mogwai?
Bonnaroo is going to get Daft Punk and Radiohead so unless Coachella wants to completely be upstaged this year, they better pull an amazing 3rd night headliner. Arcade Fire and Daft Punk are a great start though.
I really like Arcade Fire and I've watched their live performances on Daily Show and SNL and wasn't overly impressed, are there live shows headliner worthy? Thanks
Weezer will play a double set of the Blue Album and Pinkerton before the three remaining members of Pink Floyd even consider reuniting their legacy of a band for a bunch of spoiled Southern California hipsters.
Still no Radiohead. Holy shit people.
@ Anon 10:28
I can't answer that yet. Partly because I am not allowed, and partly because the final isn't set in stone yet.
Many speculations and rumors on this blog are going in the right direction though. So that should be a good start.
@Anon 1:59
Sufjan and Mogwai will be there.
Im Back 11:17 and partly cause you dont know shit... I like how people say theyre "not allowed" THIS IS AN ANONYMOUS BOARD
@ anon 10:12 AF is most definitely a worthy headliner. Don't judge them from two TV studio appearances
@ Anon 2:11
you ever heard of Gorilla marketing, dumb ass? they are being anonymous to us, not GV. there is no way anyone who actually knows the headliners are going to say them this early. they have to generate interest and buzz first.
HEY MONK,
WILL DEADMAU5 BE AT COACHELLA 2011?
Were playing Coachella 2011!!!
^^ There you have it!
Dont forget us!
HOLY SHIT BEST COACHELLA EVAR!!!
^^Agreed!
Arcade Fire is an outstanding headliner. They released one of the best albums of the year.
Monk - Will Daft Punk be on your next update?
Also, any word on who the 3rd headliner will be?
^you're welcome^
Fake Blood? Bloody Beatroots? Mumford and Sons?
Add Telekinesis
add rolling stones
http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/rumormill.cgi
*Rolling Stones’ touring plans, but something was then in the process of going down, whether he knew about it (likely) or not. We’ve just learned that the Stones team is very close to finalizing a deal that would bring them to Coachella next April. According to our sources, they’ll pick up a cool $5 million for playing the date; Paul McCartney pocketed $3.5 million for playing Coachella in 2009. This is the biggest booking coup yet for Coachella kingpin Paul Tollett, whose fest has served as a launch pad for numerous big-name tours in the past. Can you say “sold out”?"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I hope they have a really good DJ in Sahara playing at the same time, so I can have something to see.
I get the sneaking suspicion Monklish is keeping quieter than last year because most of the lineup is already finalized.
Monk....are the headliners most likely Arcade Fire, Daft Punk,Rolling Stones, with Beastie Boys as a safety in case Daft falls through??
The Rolling Stones?!?!?! Wtf
Paul McCartney is awesome, but come on. Enough with the geezer rock. LET DOWN
Hilarious that you keep asking her questions about who is playing as if she knows. She's got a 70% some odd accuracy rating; the board has better. Fucking sheep.
Historically, my accuracy has been higher than any other source.
Although Monk is an asshole I respect that he is giving us some info so tons of props to him for that.
When are you updating the lineup. 8 days since the last one. Curious to see it as of now without reading 120+ comments.
Monk so what's the word on The Stones?
Monk is a woman how many times does this need to be discussed
I feel like christmas arrived and my gifts royally suck.
Stones? Ugh
MONKLISH QUIT BEING A PRICK TEASE. CLEAN UP YOUR ACT OR ELSE. IPs HAVE A FUNNY TENDENCY OF FALLING INTO THE WRONG HANDS. EVIL HANDS. ALSO GOOGLE MAPS ARE OF ENTERTAINING USE, BUT ONLY WHEN THE INTENT AS AN APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION.
Well I guess that is an official Guns N' Roses Confirmation.
the pains of being pure at heart? geographer?
I'VE TRIED TO BE PLEASENT ABOUT THIS MONKLISH. DELIVER THE LINEUP TO 3249 W. ROSE STREET CEDAR FALLS, NY BY THIS TIME TOMORROW OR ELSE YOU MAY FIND THAT THE RAIN IS THE LEAST OF YOUR PROBLEMS. I WILL BE YOUR DENTIST. I WILL BE ALL THAT IS GLORIOUS IN YOUR WORLD IF YOU COOPERATE. IF NOT, YOU WILL SEE THE CURTAINS FALL, AND THE LAST CURTAIN CALL WILL DROWN YOU IN ETERNAL SLUMBER, FOR THE HAWK SEES WHAT THE HEART DESIRES TO EAT. I DESIRE VERY MUCH TO MEET YOU IN PERSON, FOR IF I DO NOT, THEN SHALL THE REMAINING OF YOUR DAYS BE FRUITFUL. GET ME THE GOD DAMN LINEUP OR ELSE.
SINCERELY,
COOKIE
PS I LOVE YOU BUT WHAT YOU ASK OF ME IS TOO MUCH
This is why you can't have nice things.
