I would be down for an Oldchella Weekend in Indio in the fall, but I guess it depends on how one defines "old". I'd be up for a fall "Oldchella" that would include the likes of:
AC/DC
Aerosmith...

I'd rather have Soundgarden. Or Screaming Trees. Your mileage may vary.

Yeah, actually, you're right come to think of it. I bet Paul McCartney's "Live and Let Die" were up there in price, as well as Roger Walter's pyros. I guess I never really thought it through....

I just read that Friday night's headliner sought special permission from Indio Fire Department to use $250,000. worth of pyrotechnics during their performance. What act would use such a large...

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned a possible Led Zeppelin reunion (with Jason on drums) as a possible headliner.

Who are you Psychic Friend? Show me a sign! I'd love to buy you a beer. Or seven.

Whew!!!
Glad to know you're still with us.*

*and prone to your same old mood swings.

Peter Buck & Richard M. Nixon
Ride
Budgie
Slade
McCartney & Starr (together)
Michael Nesmith
Ministry
Dr. John
Adicts
David Lindley & El Rayo X

Nope, seriously.

Other than substituting Neil Young & Crazy Horse for Eminem as the Friday headliner, I like the fake poster line-up quit a lot.

Well, it's pretty certain The Monkees won't be appearing at Coachella this year. Davy's dead, for one thing. A pity Golden Voice didn't book these American icons while all original members were still...

That

Anyone here ever attended Voodoo Fest (The Voodoo Experience Music Festival) in New Orleans? Comments? Insights? Any idea who is playing there this year?

I was told by a member of the band that they, "...will never play Coachella again. It's not our vibe....but we're not going to badmouth the promoters. Golden Voice was great, but Coachella is just...

This is totally f--ked. I've be in "waiting" for an hour and 20 minutes,. only to get a red banner message that states week 2 "regular" tix are sold out. F--k this.

My 2012 Coachella Wish List (So Far):

Current 2012 Wish List:
1) Iggy & the Stooges
2) David Bowie (maybe as a cameo for a couple of songs with Iggy, if nothing else)
3) David Byrne solo or...

Made you open the link, didn't it?
:<P:lool

Not true. What has been posted on other sites is that the people booking The Monkees show for 2011 did not ask David/Micky/Peter ahead of time about future gigs after the Greek Theatre show is LA....

Worked.

A TRUE Monkees fan would never utter a word like DILDOS. They would selectively choose to use a less offensive synomym like TALLYWACKER or BEANPOLE.

Thanks for the link. I missed it. I still think Van Halen w/David Lee Roth might be a fun muse for Coachella 2012. Like I said earlier, I saw them on their first tour, back in the day, promoting...

Are The Flamin' Groovies still alive? Do they still tour? Just askin'. I think they're Rolling Stones wanna be stuff is pretty cool. Roy Loney rocks.

Yeah, this ain't gonna happen. But I thought I'd start this thread just to piss people off. Just remember: "Don't Call Them Twinkies". (Inside joke, you wouldn't understand.) Next.

When I read some of these posts, I just wanted to roll up into a big ball and cry. (Thank you, Frank.) Oh, the horror. Oh, the hatred. And I betcha not one of you--NOT ONE OF YOU--have ever, ever...

So with all this talk and rumored speculation about a Van Halen tour with David Lee Roth in tow, what about a Van Halen show at Coachella 2012? Appropriate, or no? I saw Van Halen back-in-the-day...

Multiple sold-out shows across the USA and Canada in 2011. New dates (rumored) to be scheduled in the spring/summer 2012. Huge cult following. Recent deluxe reissue boxed sets on Rhino Records...

I don't even like Metallica, but I do like Lou Reed and it might be fun seeing the two of them together. According to Rolling Stone magazine, Metallica is supposed to make a major announcement in...

I saw Eric Burdon recently and he nailed it all the way. I also hear that he calls Palm Springs, CA home nowadays, so it would be an easy "do" for him.

I keep hearing all about these guys called Occupy Wall Street. Do you think they're popular enough to play Coachella next year? What kind of noise do they make? Are they any good?

Now.........was that snide remark REALLY necessary? :<{

You can go back to your mother's basement now.

My 2012 Coachella Music & Arts Festival Wish List:
1) Lady Gaga
2) Kate Bush
3) Yoko Ono & the Plastic Ono Band
4) The Monkees
5) Jane's Addiction
6) Iggy & the Stooges
7) Bruce Cockburn
8)...

HEADLINER #1: Lady Gaga
HEADLINER #2: Kate Bush
HEADLINER #3: Mott The Hoople
REUNION ACT #4: The Monkees
5) Jane's Addiction
6) Iggy & the Stooges
7) Bruce Cockburn
8) Young Fresh Fellows
9)...

In serious doubt that REM will play 2012, although it is not a total impossibility. Stranger things have happened. The break-up of R.E.M. reminds me of my own mortality, and I guess that what sucks...

Support / A "Yes" Vote

R.E.M. Could really rock Coachella's world, like Paul McCartney did. Not that I'm saying R.E.M. are as big/popular as McCartney, but as people thought all McCartney would...

THIS THREAD MAKES ME LAUGH. You'd think The Beatles frickin' reunited er somethin'. Well, if you like these guys that much, more power to you.

Has Golden Voice ever added any late adds but didn't tell anybody so it was a total surprise to attendees? If not, that might be a cool idea, if it's never been done before now, and I don't recall it...

Well, Golfwang, I can't agree with the rationalization that The Baseball Project can not even sell out a 350 seater, therefore they should not play Coachella. That just does not make sense to me. Are...

Hey, have you tried Hangar from Redlands, CA (USA)? Their Pale Ale and Orange Wheat microbrews are to die for. I, also, wish Coachella would bring-in some decent microbrews. I understand the...

Logistics Question: Have any of you purchased vinyl from ZIA Records at Coachella? I mean, it can hover around one-hundred degrees. It goes without saying that vinyl does not like extreme heat....

Well, this is one of those rare instances where I hope they DO require a signature for my tickets/wristband package and DO not SIMPLY LEAVE THE PACKAGE AT MY DOOR! Unfortunately, the house next to...

...AND SOME NEW TOUR DATES:
(AND THERE'S STILL ROOM FOR COACHELLA)

THE BASEBALL PROJECT

The Baseball Project
Scott McCaughey, Steve Wynn, Peter Buck and Linda Pitmon

Mar 11 - Star Bar,...

--bumping the thread--

With the various cancellations we've had this year, and no real "big name" adds, I still say The Basebal Project would be a decent add. They're on tour, they've got a new...

What he said.

Wire is one of those bands that really got me into the whole punk movement. Wire, The Saints, The New York Dolls, and--of course--The Ramones.

I'm bringing my mom to Coachella this year, and she's 72. I betcha she'll be the oldest "rocker" there.

Downloading sucks. Period. If new, factory pressed CDs were around $5.00 a pop, I'd think the music industry would move a lot more product. Heck, I find myself buying tons of used CDs simply because...

You kiddies just go ahead and mosh your hearts out. I'll stand back and pogo.

I still think it would be a great add, especially since they're already touring the area. It can't be that expensive to add them, and it would be a nice "thank you" to fans.

It's official: The Monkees are reuniting once again to celebrate their 45th Year Anniversary. BELOW are the U.K. dates. April is still open. They'd be great as a late add for Coachella w/Nesmith in...
