So what happened with Neil Young?

[Boourns]

He was so heavily rumored and, well, obviously he isn't on the lineup. Or any other lineup, for that matter.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

they decided U2 could sell more tickets.

[Jon Blazed]

He's dead. RIP Neil Young

[Boourns]

Yeah, they can, but they'll never ever play Coachella. And Neil Young was apparently not supposed to be a headliner, anyway.

[Drewski27]

zombie young.

[familyguy420]

Neal!!!!!!

See the trouble was that Neil would only play if Radiohead were there and when they said no he said "fuck this shit! I am going to write an album about ecofriendly cars!".

[Blinken]

Yeah I think Paul T realized that all Neil wanted to sing about was cars, so he said fuck it.

[obzen]

hes gonna be added to Saturday along w/Metallica-wheres yo head@!?

[flowbee]

Glad I got to see him on his US tour at least. Thoroughly good concert.

[sbessiso]

He saw my thread and got sad

Hey is another theory...Brandon Flowers made a stink about Neil headlining but then Paul T said "No, its cool. Bono will bump you guys down just chill".

[sbessiso]

Why do you keep talking about U2??

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Cuz it will happen...if it doesn't then I owe you a churro...

[sbessiso]

Awww, why. Why. why.

Im expecting a PM with the answer

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I don't have an answer actually.....just when it happens you can thank me...and if it doesn't happen, well then you get your 90 minute Killers set.

[sbessiso]

Fuck dude, I dont want to see fucking U2

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

you would rather see Neil Young or U2?

[sbessiso]

THE KILLERS

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

well...I don't think the Killers will mind opening for U2 considering they are headlining a mess of festivals in Europa.

[sbessiso]

whatever

[greenbored]

i'm guessing it went something like this:
GV: hi neil, how would you like to play coachella?
NY: sounds awesome!
GV: great! you'll be going on right before the killers
NY: hahahahaha ::hangs up::

see Salita? it is either U2 or this.

[tigermilkboy]

U2 are just so difficult to work with for festival organisers. Glastonbury tried for years to get U2-the only sticking point was U2 did not want their set to appear live on TV or radio because they like to own all the rights and have the final edit on the pictures and sound. They like to make sure they look good!

[Blinken]

Mettalica/Neil Young would be awesome. Salah I think U2 is gonna be added to the lineup on Sat.

Why can't it just stay the way it is?

Yes, the difficulty would explain all the delays with releasing the lineup last month.
