Coachella 2011: Rumors, Headliners, rumored Confirmations

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

The Stones are the kind of act you can run unopposed, unlike ..well...you know.

WHO SIR? WHO COULD YOU BE REFERRING TOO?

[newalias]

Yee!

[concertgoer]

So...

Arcade Fire
Daft Punk
Rolling Stones?

Sounds like a party to me...=]

That would be great but what about The Beasties?

Subz.

[HandBanana]

Clearly I mean The Rock A Fire Explosion, who sadly turned in a lackluster set this year.

[Miroir Noir]

Unfortunately, if the Stones, Daft Punk, Arcade Fire, and the Beastie Boys are all on the bill, Arcade Fire would be drawing the small straw (and the short set time).

That would be a perfect mix for headliners. Arcade Fire is the young "indie" band who has graduated to headliner. Daft Punk is the holy grail of electronic music. The Stones are the legendary band that most Coach fans have never seen and never would pay to see their tour but would love to see them as an inclusive part of the 3 day pass. I support this 100%!!!

PS-Don't worry about the lower tiers, Paul always comes through there.

Woo! Well said. I am liking this combo of headliners more and more.

[concertgoer]

Those three would be ideal for me

hopefully we can end the who is the 3rd headliner talk.

I had a feeling about that when I had posted this:

Apparently Ron Wood says that The Rolling Stones will all get together to confer on what the itinerary will look like for 2011 and that they should "know something by December."It's not necessarily an indicator at this point, but personally, it raises the question of whether they'd be a priority headliner or possibly a part of Paul Tollett's contingency plan of some sort - I reckon since they've yet to headline that they're considered in any case event.

[obzen]

And, yes...

Arcade Fire
Daft Punk
The Rolling Stones

would be an excellent billing (headliner-wise).

I think our headliner work is done here.

[concertgoer]

I just hope our headliners are
The Stones, DP and Arcade fire and not The Stones, Beastie Boys and Arcade Fire

[newalias]

Daft Punk has the entire Tron Legacy Soundtrack in their arsenal now. Could make for an interesting live show. 3d glasses anyone???

Nope. Bboys would sub.

Coache11a?

Friday: Strokes->Arcade Fire
Saturday: Bboys->Daft Punk
Sunday: Interpol->Stones? Coldplay? Radiohead? The Aquabats?

By the way, I am not buying into this Stones story... anyone remember last year?

Ugh, I give up on Radiohead. Jonny already said no plans until the album is done and no one but RH will know when that is. I would rather see the Stones over Coldplay. I think we are getting the Stones. I feel that the Strokes would be much better off subbing under The Stones. Perfect combo.

[TallGuyCM]

I'm not so sure about the BBoys subheadlining. Especially if this was their first show back, the hype would be ginormous. Imagine KROQ just blowing up the shit out of it, and the ticket sales that would result.

[Miroir Noir]

I hope you're right. But I don't see how the Beastie Boys -- who have already headlined this festival, have a huge back catalogue, and have a large fanbase -- come back for the first performance in forever anywhere and don't headline.

Why would performing a movie score make for a good party? New album perhaps, movie score no.

[rage patton]

I could easily see the Coachella headliners being Arcade Fire, Daft Punk and The Beasties. Arcade Fire are headlining, no matter how you slice it.

[Mr. Dylanja]

They headlined Bonnaroo last year. Are we talking doggy years?

Oh easily. But I feel that the BB's are their fall back headliner.

Let us now unimagine it, shall we?

This should go without saying, but qft.

D'oh!

I doubt it would be a Tron exclusive. Daft Punk will probably bring a visual show the blends everything from their repetoire...including some Tron elements, just saying. Daft punk is Tron. It's going to be a robot takeover regardless of what they play.

[bobchella]

It's not a Tron show

[paulb]

from June 09 to April '11, almost 2 years...thats a fuckin long time now a days for a band not to be touring....

[sbessiso]

Not to mention the fact that they had a tour planned and a new album to release

Almost two years = FOREVER

I get it now, I am eternal.
