According to the new @PortisheadClub Twitter account, there’s a possibility of Portishead playing at the 2011 edition of Coachella! This is too much for me to handle. The triple knockout of Kraftwerk, Portishead, and Prince in 2009 comprises what I consider to be the best night of music I’ve ever experienced.

(if this isn't a baseless rumor).....HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!

[obzen]

Now it's on CoS - there's a fuckin' surprise.

[sbessiso]

WTF is Portishead club and why should we listen to them

[Kyliediscope]

The official twitter account is @portisheadinfo or something like that. This is a baseless rumor.

That was in 2008 not 2009, but otherwise I'm with you. Really hope there is some legitimacy to this rumor!

[Harrisment]

I asked that Twitter account if this was based on any solid info, and this was the response I got:

Portishead4th
It's still in talks, I'll keep you fans updated as soon as I get more scoops. Right now it's 50/50. NOT confirmed, but looking good!

[Kyliediscope]

It's looking good at 50/50? This is a ploy to get followers.

[heart cooks brain]

Even though this is probably a complete hoax, my heart is racing at the prospect

[Harrisment]

Actually I just realized that the reply I got was from a different account.

The one that posted the Coachella thing was http://twitter.com/portisheadclub

The one that replied to me was http://twitter.com/portishead4th

Don't know if they are run by the same person or what.

Also just got this one:

Portishead4th
If legitimacy means anything to you, please check out the very last tweet on the bottom of @PortisheadClub. I confirmed the album release three days before it was officially announced. I have friends who have the scoops. Stay tuned!

[hobomilitia]

bullshit.

Also has time and the internet under his/her belt...

[Sleepingrock]

Everything is a lie

[microcuts]

It's true, they announced it at their Palladium show a couple weeks back. Oh wait.

[yeahfontaine]

Such bullshit and it's hilarious that COS published it so quickly and with no strong evidence.

[captncrzy]

Lol at all the sheep

Yes.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

this is the worst thread in history of the entire board.

[shakermaker113]

I'm going to start a twitter called PortisheadNotAtCoachella and start tweeting gibberish.

[Coachella Bound]

CoS needz to be shutdown.... no Portishead till 2012.

[stinkbutt]

A friend just posted on his facebook European dates this summer US in the fall, can't get the link to work though. Anyone know?

that was a footnote of their official announcement (http://www.portishead.co.uk/news.php) wednesday. that's real.

[Mak Attack]

Such bullshit and it's hilarious that COS published it so quickly and with no strong evidence.

research slows down posting time. gotta be first.

[psycobetabuckdown]

relax. it's listed as a "rumor." this is a rumor.

This is Portishead's official fan club, if I'm not mistaken. You know what happened when Gorillaz' unofficial fan club posted a rumor? It happened.

[dorkfish]

That garbage Twitter is also confirming No Doubt, so now Portishead are definitely not playing.

[GeezrRckr]

@PortisheadClub = suprefan

[shakermaker113]

That garbage Twitter is also confirming No Doubt, so now Portishead are definitely not playing.

BWAHAHA.

[ghornett]

so would they have thom yorkes spot sunday night? that would rule, with no one against them

[agenthal]

That garbage Twitter is also confirming No Doubt, so now Portishead are definitely not playing.

Is it that impossible? I thought they had a new album coming out in 2011.

[heart cooks brain]

Its highly suspect. Would Coachella really book 3 of the previous years Lollapalooza headliners (SG Strokes AF)? portishead COULD play, but this guy doesn't have any cred.

[suprefan]

;).

[shakermaker113]

;).

don't you go winking around here.

[greenbored]

portishead is confirmed at the benicassim festival in spain in july, for whatever that's worth

[FurtherDownTheRabbitHole]

boring... not going to happen. too many bored trolls with fake twitters and blogs just getting started.

/monklish

[Mr.Nipples]

;).

wink away. a portishead coachella performance in 2011 is NOT happening...

[TickleMeElmo]

Portishead most likely to NOT play @ Coachella. American Tour dates will begin in September/October.
