Main Stage. Sunset. Sunday. Coachella 2011

THEY WILL NOT BE FIELDING OTHER OFFERS.

[TallGuyCM]

oh hell yes! 9 american towns!

NY, Chi, LA, SF, and 5 others (I'm guessing)...wonder where.

[pancakespancakes]

HOLY JESUS H CHRIST FUCKING SHIT GODDAMMIT OH MY.

[pancakespancakes]

holy shit YES. now the question is, how many of nine can I get to?

MY THOUGHTS FUCKING EXACTLY.

[pancakespancakes]

oh man.

[softbulletin]

They have to play Toronto and Montreal, right?

[TallGuyCM]

They have to play Toronto and Montreal, right?

I just mentioned the same thing in the ATP thread, wondering if "American" meant 9 in the U.S. or 9 in the U.S. + Canada.

[pancakespancakes]

Fuck my life.

[shakermaker113]

NY, Chi, LA, SF, and 5 others (I'm guessing)...wonder where.

watch them go and do 9 towns all in the midwest.

[shoegazer76]

watch them go and do 9 towns all in the midwest.

You know thats how its going to happen. Saving for the Chicago show.

[schoolofruckus]

Good chance of that happening, I would say. The idea that an anarchist, stringently anti-corporate band is going to play the nine "biggest" American markets is fallible, at best.

But that said - if the idea is really to play nine meaningful shows, one would like to hope they're at least spread out wide across the continent of North America.

Oh wait, I haven't properly articulated my feelings on this yet.

BEST GODDAMN NEWS I HAVE EVER HEARD.

[shakermaker113]

sigh. better start saving for another trip.

how do you know Paul T hasnt signed em already?

[TallGuyCM]

If they're not gonna play in California, I've got my fingers crossed for a Vancouver date. I've always wanted to go there, and have never really had a good excuse to.

[suprefan]

They are going to play Phoenix, but then, amy will still find an excuse to complain.

[shakermaker113]

how do you know Paul T hasnt signed em already?

they said winter. coachella is not in the winter.

[apostle2]

i just need them to play toronto, montreal, philly, boston, or anyplace in the state of NY. that's all I ask.

I would say there's a very good chance of that happening.

I would almost want to do this even if they DO play California.

[wmgaretjax]

they won't play coachella. seriously folks...

[suprefan]

[send me ctrpllrs]

Oh, that is wonderful. I heard about ATP earlier via Twitter while I was walking and stopped mid stride in awe. I was all set to try my hardest to go to that, but I just read that bit about 9 American shows. One or more of those will do. I do want to to go to a UK ATP at some point, but that would be hard when I'm already set to go to 3 festivals this year.

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

THEY WILL NOT BE FIELDING OTHER OFFERS.

Yes but that's prefaced by "until further introspection". Coachella 2011 is a whole year away. It could happen.

[schoolofruckus]

Once again - an anarchist, stringently anti-corporate band is not going to play a mega-corporate festival like Coachella. I'm not saying they won't play any Goldenvoice-run venues - after all, they've done The El Rey before - but playing a gigantic festival sponsored by Heineken, Playstation, and Microsoft is just not going to happen.


Edit: I don't say this with pleasure. I would love to see them at the Polo Field.

[SoulDischarge]

I figured this would be up to like 10 pages by now. Then again, it's not BoC. Good shit.

[suprefan]

Depends on the post view settings?

[faxman75]

and this apparently is the kind of great music I was missing out on while listening to ICP back in the late 90's... FML

[SonicBluthe]

Bonerific news!

[Natelevmofuggaz]

Godspeed and Tim Hecker are playing at the same place on the same night? What the fuck is going on?

This is a beautiful, beautiful thing.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

and I came.
