Coachella 2011: Rumors, Headliners, rumored Confirmations

[GeezrRckr]

What about Linkin Park? They are gonna announce their North American tour on Monday.

so this is where the short-bus kids hang out.

and, kanye as headliner....hahahahahaha. GV ain't hopping on your bus, fuckwads. they need to get paid.

Holy shit, hahahahaha

[obzen]

Kanye...


























fuck yeah.

[303dubbin]

SCIENTIST!!! Get some old dub reggae in there already. I watched him dub over a live Roots Radics band and it was amazing. That would be so fucking cool at Coachella. Lee Scratch Perry, The Congos, etc.

this would be dope. the outdoor i think would be perfect for this

[LurkerFromTheFuture]

I'm not saying Kanye SHOULD headline, but I'm saying it's not outside the realm of possibility.

If anyone said Jay-Z was going to headline at this time last year people would have called them a fucking idiot.

[obzen]

Yes, Goldenvoice should just book cheesy whiteboy music acts like Beastie Boys or The White Stripes...

your stop is next on the short-bus express. just remember the in door is the same one as the out door.

[pachucasunrise]

Kanye's really more Grindcore than anything.

please, you just can't appreciate his crossover post-avant jazzcore appeal

[liquidsnake28]

Wait, so Geezr is serious? He doesn't think Kanye is big enough to headline?

[LurkerFromTheFuture]

Wait, so Geezr is serious? He doesn't think Kanye is big enough to headline?

I guess not. I mean, it's not like he's a superstar who sells a shit-ton of albums or anything. It's not like he has crossover appeal.

He could easily headline, and draw a huge crowd while doing so.

I'm not even trying to argue the merits of whether he SHOULD headline, but just the fact that he could. He'd be a much better headliner than Kings of Fucking Leon.

[GeezrRckr]

i'm looking at this purely through the business lens.

Jay-Zed >>>> Kanye at selling tix to Coachella. period. this is why the former headlined last year and the latter will not this year.

let me be clear, just in case my usual sarcasm is throwing people off....Kanye will not headline Coachella in 2011*. i will lick my own ass if this comes to pass, so feel free to qft.


*i hope he is on the bill though.

[sbessiso]

I can't even imagine what Kanye's next tour gimmick will be. That Glow in the Dark bullshit was nothing but some Papier-mâché space rocks, a glitchy computer screen and....thats it.

I honestly felt embarrassed for him at Bonnaroo

[Kyliediscope]

I think he could headline, but I don't want him to.

lolznigga you crazy Kanye has headlined festivals wordwide and the number of tickets Jay-Z sells will have nothing to do with Kanye or whether he appears at Coachella as a headliner.

You're being silly. You're forming your entire opinion of his live show on the one clusterfuck show of his tour that didn't even have his entire stage setup.

[sbessiso]

Im basing my opinion on what I saw and experienced. How is that silly?

[faxman75]

It's silly because not a single other date on the entire glow in the dark tour was a clusterfuck, had the scaled down setup or the glitchy screen.

Will you licking your own ass be on the main stage?

[Fourthisto]

Main Stage
1st night Radiohead /w Arcade Fire /w Sufjan Stevens
2nd night Daft Punk /w the Knife /w Empire of the Sun
3rd night Blur /w Velvet Underground /w Beastie Boys(for paulb)

Sub in Pulp for Suckjohn and I'd vote for you for President.

You mean you stayed awake? I honestly felt zzzzzzzzz for him.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Everybody in this thread would recognize at least 10 Kanye West songs if they heard them. By the time April comes around, you'll be familiar with at least three songs from the new album if you're not already.

And what about him coming out with Daft Punk to do Stronger? Come on, you know that'd be awesome.


Also, nobody is as big a Jigga, so stop that comparison.

[sbessiso]

Still doesnt change the fact that it was just him up there. Contrary to how a lot of ppl here feel, Kanye does NOT have the swagger and stage presence to anchor an entire show just by himself.

You mean you stayed awake? I honestly felt zzzzzzzzz for him.

I dont know how I did it. What a nightmare that was

[faxman75]

OUTKAST
LAUREN HILL
WU TANG

GET READY HIP HOP RAPCHELLA!

[faxman75]

This is awesome though! lol

Biggest highlight: huge, amazing landscape set complete with reflective rolling hills and a rising, moving, smoke-spouting, underlit and overlit platform that was angled at about 30 degrees at times so that, with all the projections firing, Kanye was standing/floating in multiple planetary and atmospheric spacescapes—lava floes, explosions, waterfalls and galaxies. Another bold move: the set was positioned so that the band & backup singers comprised in an orchestra pit—they remained unseen unless you were in the nosebleeds, which I was, so Kanye, in all his glory, appeared as one emcee in space solely commanding the 20,000 attendees. He was all you needed

Oh and yeah, he's by himself on the stage but he has a band...unless of course that was missing from the Roo as well.

[sbessiso]

yeah we had none of that. and if there was a band I totally missed it

and even if he had all that good stuff, it would have been wasted considering he didnt decide to start until the sun began to rise.

ultimate douchebag

[Mr. Dylanja]

lol

Oh, Salahja

[faxman75]

and even if he had all that good stuff, it would have been wasted considering he didnt decide to start until the sun began to rise.

ultimate douchebag

I guess you didn't hear his side at all. In caps. Bolded. In this thread. Read it squid brains! lol Kanye loves you Salah.

THEY TRIED 2 GIVE ME A TIME SLOT WERE IT WAS STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE … I HAVE A FUCKING LIGHT SHOW DUMB ASS, IT’S NOT CALLED GLOW IN THE DARK FOR NO REASON SQUID BRAINS! MY PEOPLE WORKED OUT A COMPROMISED STAGE PLOT AND A 3AM TIME SLOT AND I AGREED. FAST FOWARD TO THE DAY OF THE SHOW. MY PRODUCTION MANAGER TRIED TO LOAD IN FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE I WENT ON STAGE BUT THE FESTIVAL WOULDN’T ALLOW US TO DO ANYTHING UNTILL PEARL JAM LEFT THE STAGE. PEARL JAM ENDED ONE HOUR
LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT THAT POINT WE’RE RACING AGAINST THE SUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AT 4:20AM DON COMES BACK 2 THE BUS AND TELLS ME, ” IT WOULD TAKE 45 MORE MINUTES TO PUT ALL YOUR PYRO IN!” I SAY I HAVE TO GET OUT THERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE . I HIT THE STAGE AND PEOPLE HAD BEEN THROWING SHIT ON THE STAGE AND HAD ACTUALLY HIT THE JANE SCREEN WITH, I GUESS BOTTLES OR SOMETHING AND HAD BROKEN MY FUCKING SCREEN. REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A SHORTY AND WATER WOULD HIT THE TV?????? WHEN I GOT 2 “THROUGH THE WIRE” I STEPPED ON THE FRONT PART OF MY STAGE AND THERE WAS SO MUCH LIQUID ON THE STAGE I COULDN’T MOVE WITHOUT SLIPPING. I HAD TO ADJUST MY WHOLE PERFORMANCE STYLE BECAUSE OF IT. A FEW MORE SONGS IN AND THE SONG WAS ON IT’S WAY UP.. I CUT A FEW SONGS FROM THE SET BECAUSE I WANTED PEOPLE 2 EXPERIENCE STRONGER WHILE THERE WAS STILL SOME DARKNESS TO PERFORM IT IN. I’VE STRUGGLED WITH STRONGER FROM IT’S CONCEPTION. REMEMBER LAST SUMMER WHEN I CANCELED SOME TV APPEARANCES. IT WAS BECAUSE I DIDN’T WANT TO PERFORM STRONGER IN THE DAYTIME. ANYONE WHO CAME TO THE GLOW TOUR CAN UNDERSTAND WHY I WANTED PEOPLE TO SEE IT PROPERLY.

[GeezrRckr]

you missed it.

[Gribbz]

Has Kanye gotten any better lyrically? I've only listened to his first two albums, but his lyrics always seemed to be his weakness. Rhyming "and" with "and" 8 times in a row, "klondike" with "blond dyke" etc.

Downloading the new one now...

This, would be way better than Beastie Boys into Daft Punk and actually makes sense.

[summerkid]

This, would be way better than Beastie Boys into Daft Punk and acutally makes sense.

It would be too difficult to set up Kanye's stage show (which will be elaborate) and then take it down to set up Daft Punk's stage show. If Kanye is playing he's headlining anyway.
