2012 Lineup Confirmations/Rumors Thread

[nathanfairchild]

You think they are just skipping LA on their tour or are you thinking that they would be a sub?

I'll be surprised if they are there at all.

[heart cooks brain]

let's all be surprised together.

Lazy booking is lazy.

Maybe they just haven't announced the LA date because they're playing with the arctic monkeys?

Do you read the Coachella facebook wall? I seriously don't understand how whoever moderates that can handle the constant flooding of, "lineup pLeEAzE?!?!" posts

If The Black Keys and Bjork headline one night I wouldn't have a problem, but Bjork alone or TBK alone would suck

Yep yep.

I do sometimes. I tend to avoid it around this period though.

Ok, someone just texted me the headliners. I'm too scared to tell you, but I've put a clue below (in white, in case you don't want spoilers).

This.

My apologies. Removed.

[Pea]

Radiohead Foo Fighters Sigur Ros = 28
Radiohead Foo Fighters Daft Punk = 28

Final answers (dreams). I can't believe I played into that 28 bullshit.

[obzen]

Fuck me!

[faxman75]

Black Sabbath guys. They would be a logical headliner. Of course.

[Miroir Noir]

Recyclechella!

Has anyone mentioned Frank Turner yet? He played an awesome set back in 2010 and just released a new album last year. I just took a look at his tour dates and it looks like he's got a month off in April while he's in the so cal/Arizona area...

Nice.

[Alchemy]

So they're playing on Saturday. Awesome.

[nyarlathotoats]

yes. i flew to coachella on wings of glass.

Glass as in the slang for meth, or another type of glass? Perhaps a Heart of Glass? And speaking of, what about Blondie being on the lineup?

[HandBanana]

Just like The Black Keys benefited from the vacuum created by The White Stripes, The Shins owe their entire career to emerging during the shitty barren musical wasteland of the early 2000s.
Not a bad band, but not a really great one either.

[nosurprises12]

The Shins + late afternoon set + Fresher = not a bad way to spend 40 minutes.

[Alchemy]

The Shins owe their career to Garden State, maybe. I think they're amazing.

Beautiful, thanks for this.

After ducking out of LCD Soundsystem, I cut through the Mojave during the downtime before The Black Keys and the place was a total ghostland. I only remember because Pulp was playing over the PA.

They can put Perry Farrell and his wife embarrassing themselves under yet another name as the headliner and I'll still go if the latest rumors/leads pan out.

Are you missing the fact that he's playing in the UK on April 13?
