Daft Punk is a promotion not a repeat.

Sounds about right. As for #3...Beastie Boys? The return didn't happen this year and the other major fests seem to have their headliners squared away, so 2011? It could also end up being Kings of Leon instead of Arcade Fire, though.

Wilco is due to return, Gnarls Barkley is due to be the next "we played the Gobi and now we're billed high on the main" act if they have a third album and hit single by then, Feist is overdue to play and surely will have a new album out by then, and if we're really lucky...The Knife? If Beck will take second billing at other fests, maybe he can be a solid #2 next year? What about reunions? Does Jeff Mangum playing live again make a Neutral Milk Hotel reunion highly improbable instead of completely impossible? Did the buzz surrounding those recent Glasto rumors finally warm Jarvis to bringing Pulp out of hiatus? Something completely random (Mazzy Star, Curve, Ride, Cibo Matto)?

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Kings of Leon won't headline next year. If they would've taken the rest of the year off and not toured I can see them being asked first but given that they decided to keep going will make them feel "used". I can see them being called in if a headliner drops out though.

Daft Punk makes sense. I didn't think Arcade Fire but then I heard a comment today that got me to think otherwise (I guess we'll have to wait and see what their fall tour looks like).

I honestly do feel that its Radiohead time to return. Since they will probably have a new album out by then.

[rage patton]

I think if Arcade Fire played... it would be then or never for Bowie.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

yep.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

I think if Arcade Fire played... it would be then or never for Bowie.

I'm pretty sure this was said about Nine Inch Nails AND the "10th Anniversary".

[summerkid]

Daft Punk, Interpol, REM.

[beavington]

3 repeats? I doubt it.

2007 had three repeats

[FoxeyLady]

I know, I just think it's unlikely is all.
