Sleeper Acts

[McFearless]

Which band do you think will surprise the audience with a great performance?

Kings of Leon would be my guess.

[Proadict]

Circa Survive and Arcade Fire

[Blackvelvet]

I'm guessing Cornelius- I just got bought Fantasma and wow, its good!

[kreutz2112]

I am going to say...?...?...?...!!!

[ttboy80]

!!! is a fucking party- at least it was when I saw them. LCD sounsystem?? Hotchip is another great show.
I wouldnt say Arcade fire is a sleeper band- they are known for putting on a great show

Circa Survive and Arcade Fire

Saying the Arcade Fire is a "sleeper" act is like saying Roger Federer will be a sleeper at Wimbledon ...

After their 2004 set, where (sadly) three quarters of us left Gang Of Four to see one of the most amazing sets the Polo Fields have ever seen ... I can't see HOW you'd call them a sleeper.

[AEversW]

Explosions in the Sky

[fober]

Rufus Wainwright, Regina Spektor, Lily Allen, The Decemberists, Damien Rice.

EDIT: Never mind. I thought you meant acts that would put you to sleep.

[bonerfromgrowingpains]

although i am a k.o.l. fan, the live performance pretty much sucks...of course both times i saw them they followed secret machines...talk about kicking yourself in the nuts...

[mob roulette]

lotta people sleeping on Travis...

not giving props i mean...i bet it's a stellar set.

[Yablonowitz]

Andrew Bird and Manu Chao

[woogie846]

Rufus Wainwright, Regina Spektor, Lily Allen, The Decemberists, Damien Rice.

EDIT: Never mind. I thought you meant acts that would put you to sleep.

[MarkO]

The Frames ... ye heard it here first.

[Californicator]

Busdriver.

[summerkid]

Justice is going to blow people's minds. Honorable mentions Gogol Bordello, VNV Nation, and CSS

[gaypalmsprings]

Hot Chip

[MrAmeche]

Fri-Digitalism
Sat-Fields
Sun-The Coup

[RickeyinLA]

I must agree with three posts up - Justice is going to tear up whatever tent they play on Saturday and they'll be on early so don't be tardy. I like my coffee black just like my techno (visit their myspace and check Phantom Pt. 1 and Waters of Nazareth).

Holy crow, I just went over to the Busdriver mypage and that's something special too (taste Kill Your Employer).

[Matty22Fatty]

Friday - Stephen Marley
Saturday - Pharoahe Monch
Sunday - Mika, Teddybears

[woogie846]

Rage Against the Machine.

[John Peel is My Co-pilot]

Rage Against the Machine.

Are they new to the lineup - I don't think I've seen their name mentioned here...

[bmack86]

I bet Justice'll rock the house.

[John Peel is My Co-pilot]

Sleeper act of Coachella?


Scotland's very own Fratellis.

You heard it here first. Altogether now...."got ma nuts from a hippyyyy"!

[CuervoPH]

I don't know if these are real sleepers or not, but I think both The Coup and Rodrigo y Gabriela are gonna kill on Sunday. They are two of my absolute must-sees for the entire festival.

edit: and above poster reminded me that I need to check out more stuff by the Fratellis

[jtovar21]

Friday: Digitalism
Saturday: Justice
Sunday: Soulwax Nite Versions

[celisnet]

Of Montreal
Hot Chip

BE THERE OR BE SQUARE.

[PassiveTheory]

I'll go out on a limb and say:

CSS
Silversun Pickups
Circa Survive

[Kiefer]

CSS... i don't get it. they're like a wal-mart version of le tigre. really.

[ttboy80]

In response to some of the above...

The Frames fucking KILL!

Hot chip is a party in my pants!

Of Montreal is craptastic.

Kings of Leon are good, but not great.

I am looking forward to Explosions in the Sky blowing my ass out! My cash goes to girl talk and Gogol Bordello (of those that I have not seen)
