First
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?
Pheonix, Blur and Wu-Tang??
GOING TO SASQUATCH
You forgot Depeche Mode.
NO QUEENS?!!! easy pickings Monk!
Everything seems very plausible... except for Daft...
so it's blur / deadmau5 / phoenix / and daft
not bad - not great but not bad. Well if daft is playing i guess it's great.
But really??!?! Still daft!!
My God, still DP? Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!?!
Looks solid. Thanks for your efforts.
Phoenix, WuTang, Deadmau5, Blur all about on the same level, curious who gets the headline spot
Any fest with Blur, Daft, the Knife, and Sigur Ros wins best lineup of the year.
supre
**Baauer
Hm... left DP on. Curious. Possible headliners seem to be:
Daft Punk
Blur
deadmau5
Phoenix
Wu-Tang Clan
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Maybe double up liners?
Phoenix - deadmau5
Daft Punk - Blur
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Wu-Tang Clan
Thanks Monk! TEED, 2bears, OMD, awesome!!!! No idea who's Bauuer, hopefully not the CTU one, youtubing that shet now!!
Left Daft Punk on.
There is hope!
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!
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"?
have you heard anything at all about Depeche Mode?
Monk are you waiting on an act that could be a headliner, or is it listed allready?
thanks for responding. any reason to believe that depeche mode is headlining?
Nothing about Depeche Mode.
Monk, no QOTSA, or other big rock band? thnx
Postal Service = Headliner
Anything about Bowie?
thanks Monk!
Rage Against the Machine? Monk?
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.
how strong is your source on the Knife?
I have only one question about Daft Punk.
Have they been confirmed for months or did GV up the offer to get them on board in the last few days?
4:35 thats how a lot of people feel I could do with 2 bad headliners if DP is there.
DP usually requires good performances :D
Do you have peanut butter in your ass right now monk?
There is more than one hundred bands to enjoy and some morons are still asking for three "headliners"....please guys reset your brain!....My personal headliners are the postal service, new order and blur....i do not really care about who is leading a F!@#ing list.
New Order needed a teleprompter to remember their lyrics in 2005. Nuff said on them....
Seriously how sure are you on The Knife and Daft Punk. Those two would make everything else irrelevant
@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.
I have peanut butter in my ass.
Daft is not going to play, monks "real final list" will exclude them just like 2011.
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.
HEY EVERYONE. WE GOT A SECOND WEEKENDER IN HERE COMPLAINING ABOUT CROWDED TENTS.
How about Pearl Jam or Tool?
hopefully all of Coachella's money is going to Daft Punk because the rest of the prediction line up looks like SHIT
Just ran into Justin Chancellor of TOOL......I asked if the band would be making a Coachella experience and he gave me a "no comment". I'd say they're in.
Maya Jane Coles is playing
Beyonce is headlining. Sorry.
Blur*Deadmau5
Yeah Yeah Yeahs*Phoenix
Rage Against the Machine * Tool
I have a hunch TOOL will be there as well. Read their last newsletter.
I told you guys, BLUR, PHOENIX, AND WUTANG
get used to it.
line up is up on kroq
fuck off, I'm not even gonna check KROQ.com cuz I know you're fucking lying, troll.
@503 - actually I was talking about weekend 1 (hence the weather comment), but that's probably too much logic for you to follow.
They should do Sunday like '99 Rage ---> Tool
hahahahah @ 5:31...u mad brah
Phoenix / Depeche Mode / Daft Punk
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST
Prince (Purple Rain)
Phoenix
Daft Punk
Wu-Tang couldn't even headline FYF.
it's not coming today, is it...
@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.
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
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.
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
http://www.coachella.com/forum/showthread.php?59876-Monklish-final-list&p=2633548&viewfull=1#post2633548
"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."
cuntlish got burned
@6:15 that sounds pretty spot on and good idea for a blog for that matter - after all if it is "anonymous" who cares... hahahah I find all of it pretty interesting - patience indeed nowadays a virtue - funny thing the more we feed it like Kroq teases and all those the more they keep doing it knowing they have the attention - good marketers indeed hats off ...
Monklish leaked the Postal Service before any of those PBC cunts. Credit where it's due.
Message board / blog rivalries are for fucking retards with no lives.
@6:15 and @6:24 is the same person. Quit agreeing with yourself.
You're pretty stupid if you believe @6:15. Just wait for the lineup. Relax & get outside or something. There's fresh air to breathe.
Actually, someone from the Coachella boards talked about The Postal Service before Monklish predicted it, but nice fucking try.

Hey man sorry to inform you but you are actually already wrong. Animal Collective is 100% PLAYING. Sorry but it's true, and it will be amazing. Thanks, good bye and good vibes.
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
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.
They are obviously douche-bags, especially losers like TomAz and that Guedita person. What the fuck is up their asses?
You're not allowed to be excited about anything!!! Pithy comment! Sarcasm!
Ya that was me (Wazzzzzup928) who posted that about The Postal Service. And of course some asshole from the PBC has to go and post some garbage to try and refute my claim. Bunch of assholes, all of them.
Monk have you heard that the lineup won't be released til the first of Feb?
I'm still cool, right guys?
Yea LocNes because whining about people who post on a message board in an anonymous comments section makes you so much better than them. Way to go buddy. Most of those idiots on the boards are tools but you defending Monklish at every turn and crying about the PBC is infinitely worse. Feel free to jump into oncoming traffic.
So what exactly are the PBC doing with said peanut butter??? I assume they are putting it on or in their asses...but why? for animals?

So what exactly are the PBC doing with said peanut butter??? I assume they are putting it on or in their asses...but why? for animals?
Let me be the first to say. Minklish can eat a cock. No Daft Punk
Line-up guys!
Lineup is out
Stone Roses/Blur
Phoenix
RHCP
Daft Punk hahahahahahahhaha!!!
Wu-Tang a headliner? No way. They regularly play venues the size of House Of Blues or Club Nokia, and their shows are reportedly hit or miss.
Can we have Monk's lineup instead? :(
:(
LINEUP IS OUT AND ITS THE WORST HEADLINERS OF ALL TIME
RHCP
PHOENIX
STONE ROSES AND BLUR
FUCK YOU PAUL TOLLET
FUCK YOU
I'm sure Monk will be defending the 2 out of 4 headliners prediction as a great success. Despite getting going for Rolling Stones, NIN and constantly pulling for Daft Punk.
pretty deep lineup, really fucking weak at the top though. geez, 3/4 headliners shouldn't even be subbing.
fuck you monk theres no Daft Punk on the lineup
at least Dam Funk is on the bill :(
Damn you Monk. No Daft Punk, No Knife..
Increíble lineup... Who cares Of the headliners?
the under-card is fucking incredible.
HAHAHA YOU DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS!!! BLUR IS HEADLINGING! SUCK A DICK AND EAT A PUSSY!
The good thing about RHCP headlining Sunday is you can leave early safe in the knowledge that you missed a bagoshite!
Worst-Chella
Thanks again Monk. You've really done a fine job.
And for all those boardies who insisted on a Timberlake headlining set, go fuck yourself.
very underwhelming and disappointing
a headliner obviously dropped out...
this is so upsetting. Pitchforkchella, so uninspired. Way to blow the momentum you had going GV
haha remember NIN/Daft Punk?
Embarrassingly fucking awful.
I give the lineup a B- compared to last year's A-
where in the fuck are Gessafelstein and Brodinski????
shocked at the lack of deadmau5...seemed too obvious.
The best undercard Coachella has ever had.
This is perfect. All the bros will be like "yo this sucks where's tiesto, where's RATM, where's Rolling Stones" and the smart fest-goers will appreciate this undercard and the crowd will go back to being what it should be a la 2011.
MOTHERFUCK deadmau5, we got Jurassic 5!
no daft punk AND no knife :(((((((((((
obviously, monklish is full of shit and is not to be trusted. run by the PBC. should've known. THANKS FOR A PLACE TO POST WHILE THE BOARD IS DOWN ASSHOLES.
The undercard is the worst part.
The only decent undercard is the 2nd line every day, then it falls off quickly.
Where is the electronia? Bassnectar closing the sahara? That's attrocious. Pretty Lights closing the festival, even worse and I like Pretty lights.
Phoenix looks all alone and pathetic on Saturday. That was going to be the Stones.
This is going to be Coachella the way it used to be!
undercard is awesome
FUCK YOU GV
SERIOULSY
KILL YOURSELF Paul
this SUCKSSSSS
:(
i am NOT going
thanks GV no deadmau, skrillex!! well done!!
Stone Roses into Blur on Friday night is going to be 3 STRAIGHT HOURS of music which 95% of the entire Coachella crowd doesn't have a fucking clue about.
Fine for the gobi, but not for the mainstage headliners.
Unbelievable how stupid GV is.
hahaha i love this line up. less brahs for sure!!!
GV prides itself on NOT repeating headliners...so instead they give us RHCP for the THIRD TIME. Guess it doesn't matter to them when they have our money 10 months in advance...
If anon @ 925 isn't going, I'm not going!
I fucking love GV!!!! trolling all the bros and brohos!
Burn this blog to the ground. It has failed us all.
finally a coachella without the attendees that started coming in 10!!!!!!! The Fields are back !!!! Thanks GV!!!
Friday night is the best night and the strongest undercard then its all downhill. Sigur Ros should have headlined over Phoenix.
new Phoenix album will be better than their last. GV def got an advanced copy before elevating them. Expect another top ten single or two before the show.
https://twitter.com/coachella/status/294680006930620416
For all you PBC conspiracy theorists that read way too far into that polo ball picture.
Nice^ Anyone who thought that was a stone was a god damn idiot
Undercard is insane. I was wrong about blur and phoenix monk. You were right. Well done.
@LochNes
Maybe it was a stone near the Rose Gardens?
What a horrible lineup. Lol. You poor souls who actually think this is undercard heavy. This could be the worst lineup of all time. There is absolutely no diversity. Monk stop deletimg my posts. Your just mad because youve been exposed for the phony fake fraud you are
Hey Monk! what are the chances that Phoenix are Portisheaded for Daft Punk?
No Cibo Matto? Fuck this.
WHERE ARE ALL THE SICK DROPS BRO? Fuck off, this lineup is pretty damn good. Hopefully this will cleanse the fields of all the douchebags that inhabited the sahara and seemed to pull a train of 30 through every show i was at last year
BWAHAHAHA!!! This lineup is almost completely BRO FREE! Seriously! RHCP, and what else, Pretty Lights? but Pretty Lights isn't even that bad. Bros will be taking shitty rolls and partying at the hotel!
It's Coachella. There will still be plenty of BROS.
I can't even imagine how empty Stone Roses is going to be. Is hot chip or Sigur Ros playing AFTER Phoenix?? The line below Phoenix is like insane. XX, Postal Service, Sigur Ros, Hot Chip, and NEW ORDER?!?
They are going to have to figure out the two weekend thing. Obviously in terms of headliners it blew up in their face. Either they are going to have to pay up or figure something out.
Except Skrillex will be there...as Dog Blood..
yeah, Saturday night will be a ridiculous cluster-fuck.
the headliners are the worst in Coachella history...no doubt about it (& I actually like Blur & Phoenix).
but anyone who says the undercard isn't stacked like a mother fucker is a moron. look at Sat. alone: Sigur Ros!!, Postal Service, the XX, Hot Chip, Grizzly Bear, Two Door Cinema Club, Yeasayer, Moby?!?, Violent Femmes?!?, Simian Mobile Disco, Bat for Lashes, Portugal. The Man. I mean, I would see every single one of those acts (not that there'd even be time to).
I still remember when COACHELLA had great legends closing the festival.. Sunday is not that good
but anyone who says the undercard isn't stacked like a mother fucker is a moron. look at Sat. alone: Sigur Ros!!, Postal Service, the XX, Hot Chip, Grizzly Bear, Two Door Cinema Club, Yeasayer, Moby?!?, Violent Femmes?!?, Simian Mobile Disco, Bat for Lashes, Portugal. The Man. I mean, I would see every single one of those acts (not that there'd even be time to)."
I have seen 7 of those bands at Coachella in previous years. You listed 12.
BroNECTAR
Rumor from a friend who often works with GV: Daft Punk will headline after Phoenix (like the MSG show but a full set) and it will be announced closer to April
You really dropped the ball on this one huh?
ha. the sad thing is, people will STILL believe that Daft Punk is going to be added, all the way up til Apr.
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.
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.
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
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.
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).
Monk, no comments? Can you tell us how RHCP ended up closing Coachella? We saw them at 08 on Sat and that was back when they were doing really good stuff. How did they get the closing gig now?
Rolling Stones backed out. They were available. End of.
Remember when I told you that it was all Euro festival garbage and the RHCP?
Daft is going to do a suprise appearance after phoenix just like in 2010 in new york
^^^except that was just a cameo and not an actual daft punk set. if you watched that phoenix video with them in new york and thought that was interesting then you have obviously never been to a daft punk show.
Another year, Another ball dropped. Good one. Line up still slays though. Fuck the headliners (except Blur and Stone Roses of course)
Aside from NIN & Daft Punk & The Knife, Monk was pretty good. Sounds like RHCP was a super late add
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.
Yeah, I also think the Mau5 man is being added.
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.
^^^daft is palying!!!!
Daft Punk just signed a deal with Columbia Records for a possible Spring release.....
which 3 more months of hearing about how Daft Punk is playing haha
If Daft Punk release their album this Spring, then they're for sure playing Lollapalooza.
Wow Coachella what a shame to accept that
Actually last time daft punk released an album they didn't tour for over a year....so you don't know what you're talking about
monklish has a hairy pussy

Coachella 2013
The year Monklish just gave up!
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.
(Continued on next post)...
(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

Thanks Monklish for doing this. I think you are awesome. Fuck everyone that bitches at you.
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!
