Franz Ferdinand in 2009

[Jman4321]

For better or for worse depending on your taste (as they usually appear to be a very polarizing band) Franz Ferdinand has an album coming out around April of 2009. Methinks they will make an appearance on the main stage.

[bluemamba]

Im down for that as long as they play Outsiders. I see them very likely to play at Coachella 09.

[Jman4321]

Yeah what snippets I've heard from the new album has gotten me pretty excited. I've only heard that they have a pretty powerful live show so it's one of the big ones I'm gunning for in the '09 lineup.

[humanoid]

I totally think they will play '09

ya, polarizing is a good way to say that, not sure why though, seen them 4 times i think, and they always put on a great show ... over the pond, they are bigger, but then the brits seem to be always on the edge and well just weird on who they like, but i seem to usually agree with them ....x****

[mvanwinkle]

I would catch them at coachella 09 for sure

[fatbastard]

Say what you want about them, they are a great band. 2nd stage would work for me. They did great on the main stage.

[sbessiso]

I will start an underwear thread for sure if they play. I them like you wouldnt believe, got their debut album on vinyl autographed @ Coachella 06, it hangs framed and proud on my wall.

A million times YES to this! If you know my wishlist (and I know you do), you'll remember that I have them playing sunset right before Beck and Bowie on Sunday night. a boy can dream

[Foucault]

This is a no-brainer: they'll be there (as long as their new release doesn't totally bite)

[bartelby]

became a big fan of theirs after their last coachella show...i would be very pleased with their inclusion in the '09 lineup

[indietron]

Id absolutely love to see them... i have never gotten the chance to yet but have only heard good things

[frozen pilgrim]

...enh

[Sushov23]

I would rather that Arctic Monkeys come back.

[Boourns]

Set was good in 2006. They should do their "Mis-Shapes" cover at every gig, though.

[sbessiso]

they make me wet

[chairmenmeow47]

Set was good in 2006.

i actually found it pretty boring and slipped into the oasis tent to be pleasantly surprised by shy fx's normally-boring-as-well-ass. franz started the boring that continued with depeche mode.

I would rather stab rusty fucking scissors in my ears than have the Arctic Monkeys come back.

[Memorial_07]

I never listened to much FF, but from what material I've heard from them they can have a slot next year.......

that doesn't mean it's a good thing.

I agree completely. Their set was mediocre at best. By the time Sigur Ros came on, I was half asleep.

Thank fucking god for Daft Punk a couple of hours later.

[amyzzz]

I really liked Franz Ferdinand a lot back then although I'm not sure how well that translated to the main stage at a festival. I remember enjoying it back then, although I haven't listened to their music in a long time now.

hear hear!

sigur ros was before franz i believe as it was a sunset set and i remember it being dark for franz.

and yes, thank fucking god for daft punk a few hours later. i almost posted that myself, lol.

[amyzzz]

That explains why I watched Sigur Ros (who were pretty good as it turns out).

I say bring Franz Ferdinand and Arctic Monkeys back. I love that shit.

[chairmenmeow47]

i actually like a lot of stuff by franz, but i was really disappointed by their coachella set. they've said themselves they like making music that gets the girls dancing, but unfortunately they didn't get my toes tapping once. i would love to see them in a small, indoor venue though. maybe it would be a better set.

Ahh, you're right.

My memory is not as sharp as it once was.

[stinkbutt]

Sure put them on the main as long as Squarepusher or The Knife is in the tent at the same time

[amyzzz]

The Knife would be cool.

[stinkbutt]

They are a necessity for this year. Have you seen the live vids? So awesome they are my #1 wish and this is the year they are off hiatus

You probably didn't watch them in the first place. One of the tightest, best sounding bands I have seen.

Really I think most of us would do the same if Gogol came back
