List of Rumored/not really Confirmed Bands for Coachella 2011

[RedThom]

no

with Beastie Boys probably gonna be there, should we consider Santigold and Nas a possible option?

I jumped the gun I will admit. I thought maybe only on the basis that De La Soul had their slot in connection with Gorillaz playing. How

[Miroir Noir]

If the Beastie Boys come, what about Biz Markie? And if Biz Markie comes, will Jeff Goldblum?

This thread should be split into 3 levels... Confirmed with link, rumored with link, confirmed by a member of the forum. I tend to not put too much trust into these word of mouth confirmations.

EDIT: I see you all have already had this conversation.

Last year the bands that were on the list that were confirmed this way were:

Vampire Weekend
The Cribs
Edward Sharpe
Dirty Projectors
Mew
Baroness
Girls

I think all of those played except for Mew and The Cribs who were initially on the lineup.

They are pretty accurate. I don't think many people come in here setting out to disappoint everyone.

I too am happy that I got to see the "Sly Stone Gong Show Experience". The musical highlight of the set was after he left and the band busted into "Thank You For.." to close. Awful as it may have been it was 4 original members onstage for a full set - first public show with those 4 since 1972 or so.

AFAIK, 7 months later and he hasn't appeared in public since Coachella. I don't think promoters or even the other musicians on that stage that night will ever bother again.

Sosince daft punk won't be playing the uk at all next year, will the same be true for the US?

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Where did you get that info Frankie goes to Hollywood?

[Boourns]

Seriously? I assumed it had already been posted. The bestival powers that be said so on their board:

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Yeah, I don't think that means anything for the rest of Europe, Japan or America.

Why would they skip the uk and play everywhere else?

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Why would they skip the uk and play everywhere else?

Because they're French.

[Bud Luster]

Why would they skip the uk and play everywhere else?

Probably because their tour isn't going to start until mid to late 2011. They will play the UK, they just won't be there in 11.

[Cpt. Funkaho]

Because they're French.

God I love this so much.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Cpt. Walrus,

Shut up.

Any information about Daft Punk taking the stage is good news. I would hardly call it a confirmation that they are playing Coachella, but it does not hurt the chances that it is a possibility.

[Boourns]

Apparently Rob da Bank changed his tune via twitter:

"Just to undo any rumours I'd spread about daft punk not doing any uk festivals...they may well be.. But not bestival"

followed by:
"And when I say festival I mean that in the loosest sense of the word"

Guess he changed his tune yet again, because said tweets have been deleted.
