[kingdumb]

if you would like a fun mix of dance and hardcore DEFFF check out ENTER SHIKARI on saturday!

their soo0o0o much fun!

[JoshTheBoyd]

obviously, unless you hate electro, try to see justice (although theyll probably be up against roger waters and gogol bordello, both of whom are awesome live too)

as far as smaller acts go, man man and holy fuck are both awesome. check em out.

[Astrid]

man man, madness, fatboy slim, kraftwerk, portishead, roger waters, hot chip, mia, animal collective, slightly stoopid, justice, the streets....lots and lots.

[Kateski]

Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip - HIGHLY recommended! They play quite a lot round where i live (east end of London) and they put on a fucking crazy arse show with some great songs

Try 'Thou Shalt Always Kill' or 'The Beat That My Heart Skipped' from their MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/lesacvspip

Datarock and Cafe Tacuba

[christian]

Kraftwerk
Roger Waters
Death Cab
The National
Portishead
Battles
Spiritualized

If you liked Rage and RHCP (and if you also like Tool) you'd probably like these bands:

Roger Waters
Flogging Molly
Dredg
Enter Shakari
Rogue Wave
Slightly Stoopid
The Breeders


but i'm gonna tell you (and everyone else) to go see:
Jack Johnson
Death Cab For Cutie

Hey there

Les Savy Fav are an excellent live act too.
Bonde do Role are pretty awesome if you like brazilian punk hip hop.
Battles are quite impressive. So are Holy F*ck.
Turbonegro is great fun, as well as Gogol Bordello.
Spiritualized is fantastic in a very Pink Floydesque way.

[quicksand]

don't you dare miss Animal Collective

[rage patton]

Madness
Kraftwerk

Both rarely play the States so do.not.miss.either.

This mean speaks the truth. If you plan on missing Madness or Kraftwerk, you might awell not even attend Coachella.
I will also add Portishead to the list. They don't have any US dates scheduled in the future. This may very well be your only chance.

obviously, unless you hate electro, try to see justice (although theyll probably be up against roger waters and gogol bordello, both of whom are awesome live too)

as far as smaller acts go, man man and holy fuck are both awesome. check em out.

Gogol Bordello will not be up against Roger Waters. They were against Bjork last year and A LOT of people were upset they had to miss Gogol for Bjork, especially after hearing how amazing they were. Im guessing Gogol will have an late afternoon/early evening set at the Outdoor Theatre.
With that being said, Justice playing against Roger Waters would make a lot of sense.

In summary do NOT miss Gogol Bordello.

[Mockingbird73]

Do NOT miss:
TurboNegro
Gogol Bordello
The Horrors
The Verve
All four put on spectacular performances, especially Turbonegro, The Horrors, and Gogol Bordello

Other bands not to miss:
Madness
Portishead
Kraftwerk
Love & Rockets
Spiritulized
Roger Waters
The Bees
VHS or Beta
Black Mountain
AutoLux
Sandra Collins
Justice
Junkie XL
Hot Chip

I am sure there are many others I could add to this list in the months leading up to Coachella, but it's gonna be hard enough to see everything that you want to with the scheduling so just have fun!

[whynotsmile99]

dont miss Flogging Molly

[thedevious]

If you stay in the Sahara all day Sat you should be fine!

[nationocean]

it is really impossible to 'go see' all the bands. once you get there, let the festival take you around and soon enough, it will be day three and all those experiences will just fly by. hence everyone getting uber excited about the next year and the next year... etc.

cuz i find if you have too strict of schedule you are just losing out on the rest of what the festival has to offer

[MonsoonSeason]

gogol bordello and kraftwerk and boyz noize

[MonsoonSeason]

actually dude I don't know because I hate rhcp and rage :/

maybe scars over broadway but I dunno

[C DUB YA]

C DUB YA's 5 do not miss acts - (other Coachella vets can back me on these...)

GOGOL BORDELLO
KRAFTWERK
JUSTICE
PORTISHEAD
BATTLES

and if you have conflicts: MAN MAN or SPANK ROCK

[MarkO]

.......... cuz i find if you have too strict of schedule you are just losing out on the rest of what the festival has to offer

Yes & no. I had a pretty tight schedule last year for myself and enjoyed every minute of it. I was solo though and didn't have to consider anyone else.

[Swiss Misstery]

Hot Chip was awesome last year. I figure this year they will play later than last year which will be nice cuz it must have been 120 degrees in that tent.

[PrettyRagdoll]

Yes & no. I had a pretty tight schedule last year for myself and enjoyed every minute of it. I was solo though and didn't have to consider anyone else.

That was my experience as well.

Check out...

Flogging Molly
M.I.A
Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip
The Streets
Gogol Bordello

Seriously.. Don't miss these if it's at all possible!

[GnarVee]

DREDG..........BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!

Whoa whoa whoa whoa ... first off I want to know what your personal issues were. THEN I'll tell you who to go see.

[nbvwes]
