[Coachella Bound]

You can go ahead and add Devotchka to the confirmed artists or rumored artists... either way theyll be there in 2011.

Source: i know shit.

[heart cooks brain]

Awesome, they are great live

[summerkid]

added OMD to rumored.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I don't know how I feel about that.

[summerkid]

I don't know how I feel about that.

Well I'm excited. They have some great albums and its long overdue that they play.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

it mostly due to the fact that I only know the name and not their work.

Ah well



I highly recommend Dazzle Ships, Architecture and Morality if you want to research them a bit. Sadly, by the time they became popular in the States they had stopped making interesting music so now they are kind of known as a cheesy 80s band.

[Gribbz]

OMD?

[summerkid]

OMD?

Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark. Synthpop band from the early 80s. Kind of took their cues from Kraftwerk and gradually evolved into new wave.

[Boourns]

They had that song from Pretty in Pink

[captncrzy]

Dreaming was always one of my favs. This will be great if Paul T gets them.

[drowningmatt]

Yes. OMD would be awesome.

[paulb]

I just tweeted to Huoratron's record label and asked if there is any way in hell he would play Coachella 2011 and they replied "YES!" I dont know if thats just positive thinking, or if he is really booked...

[Boourns]

An artist saying they would play Coachella, or really want to, doesn't mean they are. But in this case, I don't know...if it's his label, that might be a good sign? Next time ask "are you" rather than "would you"...but this stage in the game doesn't really begin for a few months.

[paulb]

exactly...ill clarify later.

Add Big Audio Dynamite

wiki page

In April 2010, Don Letts revealed to Billboard.com that he and Mick Jones broached the idea of a Big Audio Dynamite reunion, which will likely happen in 2011. He explained, "I could lie to you and say 'Not in a million years,' but...if Mick wasn't tied up with Gorillaz it might happen this year. (Jones) has looked at me and said, 'Maybe next year,' but who knows. I've got to admit that in the past I'm not a great one for reformations; I always think if you're lucky in life, you get a window of opportunity, use it to the best of your ability and then fuck off and let someone else have their turn. But here I am 25 years down the line considering the thing." Besides a Big Audio Dynamite reunion, Letts says he's also hopeful for more Legacy Editions of the group's albums after finding more unreleased material -- including live recordings -- in the vaults. "There's definitely more stuff; whether Sony thinks it's worthwhile, that's another matter. But there seems to be a lot of respect for Big Audio Dynamite. Time has shown that a lot of the things we were dabbling in back then have come to manifest themselves today...so hopefully we'll get to do some more

if i was ignorant i would say during PiL's set time for 2011

[ELECtROjan]

Dr.Dre/Arcade Fire/Daft Punk

[teknolog1c(mikeB)]

ZEUS himself will be closing the Sahara Tent on Saturday night. He's going to have lazers that look like lightning bolts shooting from the stage into the crowd. THIS IS FOR REAL! I talked to Poseidon...

[Boourns]

Zeus was good until he became popular with the HARD kids.

[Smasher]

When is the actual release date for performances at Coachella 2011?

[rskapcat]

Usually January-ish. We have a while to go.

[tyles]

I would really be down for next year's Coachella to be the first return show for the Beastie Boys...

[shakermaker113]

totally dig the thread title change.

[amyzzz]

It said confirmed before? haha.

[runbowsky]

IN FOR LATER.

[Kropladop]

bump

[rasooli]

you're bumping this because you have new news to add, right?

Because if you don't, SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!

With that said, I would also be EXTREMELY happy if the Beastie Boys return in 2011. It should be either them or A Tribe Called Quest who get billed as the big hip hop act of next year.
