Who should headline Coachella 2008? (let's try this again)

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

damn all these votes for David Bowie and Radiohead....sux we won't get them...

[Boourns]

Yeah, they got over 83% of the votes.

[MarkO]

Somehow I can see The Chems on the main stage as a main festival headliner ......

[rage patton]

Chems are definately not big enough to headline Coachella.

[menikmati]

and keep em in the sahara....such a better vibe in there.

[MarkO]

Chems are definately not big enough to headline Coachella.

Sure they are.

[betao]

big enough? Yeah probably. But should they? No way, definitely keep them in the sahara.

[Boourns]

What do you all think is the likelihood of Duran Duran or Smashing Pumpkins headlining? They are headlining V Australia in April, and while that in no way means they will play Coachella, it does mean they will probably be available to the possibility.

Anyway, from another thread, all the possible headliners I could think of:
R.E.M.
White Stripes (if Meg White gets over herself)
Beastie Boys
Oasis
Smashing Pumpkins
Duran Duran
The Killers (puke)
No Doubt
Green Day
Muse
Prince (highly unlikely)
U2 (even more unlikely)
Beck (subheadliner at most)
Weezer (ditto)
Portishead (guaranteed subheadliner)
The Verve (ditto)
A Tribe Called Quest (ditto)
Death Cab for Cutie (ditto)

I can see Oasis headlining one of the days, and Ashcroft pissed off getting second-third billing. I mean, the guy expects The Verve to headline Glastonbury.

[Boourns]

I can definitely imagine that, but hopefully he realizes that this is America, and the sunset slot on the main stage is the most magical by far.

[rage patton]

I was actually just thinking of Duran Duran the other day. Would GV get them to headline though? Most people I know, they think Duran Duran are just a joke...

[bigc1]

Beck could headline friday, but not sat or sun

[orbit]

I don't think so. Maybe Beck co-headlining with the Flaming lips

[summerkid]

I think Beck and the White Stripes coheadlining is a distinct possibility for a Friday night providing Meg can get over her anxiety issues. Beastie Boys for Saturday and well...I have faith in GV to come up with something big for Sunday. Bowie, Outkast, or Gorillaz.

[bigc1]

I don't think so. Maybe Beck co-headlining with the Flaming lips

that would be cool

[boyalien0]

Sure they are.

Um....I'm not trying to start a fight, but No. No, they're not.

[Sladokusac]

i'm seein portishead and aphew twin this weekend !!! yeaaahhhh

[Somewhat Damaged]

i'm seein portishead and aphew twin this weekend !!! yeaaahhhh

Lucky bastard. You're going to record at least Portishead's set, right? That'll make you the most popular person on this board since The Daft Radiohead Punk posted about the 2007 Daft Punk tour.

[orbit]

i'm seein portishead and aphew twin this weekend !!! yeaaahhhh

Say hi to Richard for me please. Also, ask him when he is coming to US, and if he owns an ipod. Thanks.

[Botrocker]

haha

i'm seein portishead and aphew twin this weekend !!! yeaaahhhh

we all hate and love you at the same time...please come back with a review...

[Boourns]

new songs on youtube

[psycobetabuckdown]

Deftones or Silverchair big enough to headline Coachella? I think Deftones definitely are, Silverchair probably not, considering they're Australian and all. If GV could get Stone Temple Pilots to reunite, I would cry. RATM gave me slight tears, but I think I would bawl for STP.

[pdxsg]

LED ZEPPELIN (with the Cult opening)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deftones I can defintley see as a headliner!
However, Silverchair could probably have the Crowded House slot or co-headliner slot

[tklint24]

Deftones should definitely headline one of the nights. They'd bring the punch just like RATM.

[shakermaker113]

Chems are definately not big enough to headline Coachella.

Sure they are.

I hope you're joking, else I'll have to point out that they had to get zune to sponsor their recent, very small, very un-sold-out US tour.

they are not big enough to headline.

Silverchair probably not, considering they're Australian and all.

god forbid we have an australian headliner.

but seriously, how did Silverchair even enter this discussion? they're no-where near headliner status. how low were they on the lolapalooza bill this year? yeah.

[thelastgreatman]

Zeppelin is headlining. That is all.

[mysnakesashark]

I really think Zeppelin is gonna follow The Police's lead and (maybe) play Bonnaroo, then some ENORMOUS arenas and call it quits. I may be surprised but I seriously doubt Zepplin playing Coachella.

I have heard a lot of people talk about Outkast headlining (which would be really fun and different), but how probable is it actually? Have they spoken at all about touring in 08? Just curious...

Well, Robert Plant IS performing with Alison Krauss at Bonnaroo, which I actually don't know if that would raise or lower the chance of Led Zeppelin playing. Seems like everybody but Robert Plant wants to tour again.

I'd be down for Outkast as long as they don't play anything from Idlewild. God, that album was terrible.
