Bands which (sadly) will most likely never play Coachella

[SoulDischarge]

We might as well call this what it is: an ATP wishlist.

[Pixiessp]

I forgot

Talk Talk

someone please offer Mark Hollis a ton of money to make this happen.

If this were to ever happen I....I.....I......

Bob Dylan
Stevie Wonder
Jeff Beck
REM?

Not sure why PJ Harvey and Snoop keep skipping

[MarkO]

Mercury Rev

[stephen22]

Neutral Milk Hotel

I actually would not rule that one out. Jeff Mangum is out of hiding and just played a solo show.

[involvelemons]

DJ Quik
James Pants (why the fuck hasn't he played already?)
Tears For Fears
Sun Araw
Gary Wilson
Warren G
Eluvium

Wacka Flocka Flame
Larry Heard/Moodymann/Derrick May etc.
Actress
MV & EE

I can dream....

With you wholeheartedly on Dj Quik. Dude is just not relevant enough to play (but oh man, is he SOOOO relevant enough).

I wouldn't rule The-Dream, Wacka Flocka or Actress out entirely. Especially not Actress. He had a big year. I bet that at least some of the favorites from the Resident Advisor blog (Four Tet, Actress, Mount Kimbie, Shed, James Blake, Caribou, John Roberts) will make an appearance.

Fair enough. Coachella has never been aggressively experimental.
But the Polo Fields are so much more gorgeous than anything in New York (for those three days, at least).

P.F.M.,Gong, Do Make Say Think, June of 44, Slayer.
I never thought Swervedriver would play so I guess anything is indeed possible.

he does that shit once in a while. he's not playing a show in front of 20,000 people. although i obviously wish he would.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Mercury Rev

they played in 2005.

Warren G guest performed regulate during the Travis/DJ Am set in '09, was quite sick!

[SlowMotionApocalypse]

Sparks is playing. I thought we knew that.

And why travel 150 miles to a polo field and pay $300 to see the Urinals when you can see them several times a year in little dives for $0-5?

Premiata Forneria Marconi?

[TickleMeElmo]

Asobi Seksu

[juloxx]

Dj Quik
Funkadelic
DMX
Snoop/DPG
Mobb Deep

Pretty much every non-electronic act on my sig

[fiopadp7791]

Snoop/DPG
Mobb Deep

You really think Snoop D-O-Double-Gizzle may never play? Unfortunately you are right about the infamous Mobb Deep

[pachucasunrise]

Dj Quik
Funkadelic
DMX
Snoop/DPG
Mobb Deep

I could see Funkadelic happen, or at least George Clinton + guests.

[involvelemons]

I love how Juloxx has been pulling for G-Funk since I got on this board years ago.
I moved from LA to Chicago in the last few months, and shit just isn't the same here. The average Chicagoan likes Snoop and Dre, but they're like "DJ Qui-who?" It bums me out.

[Natelevmofuggaz]

Fennesz
Oren Ambarchi
Stars of the Lid/Brian McBride or Adam Wiltze

It warms my heart that other coachella goers miss artists Tim Hecker, Ben Frost, and Merzbow.

[menikmati]

I see no reason why Snoop Dogg would never play.

[Raptor Clinton]

Scott walker

How I cry tears of want

[woogie846]

Pere Ubu

I was thinking about this one the other day. I don't know too much about Pere Ubu, but I could imagine David Thomas getting a group together for a set in the Gobi.

Shit, forgot Fennesz. If anyone has a chance it's that dude. PS your sig is great.

[iliketurtles]

Premiata Forneria Marconi?

I saw them a couple of years ago playing a free show for like 200 people. It was awesome but everyone was like "who the fuck are these guys?"
