2012 Lineup Confirmations/Rumors Thread

[Miroir Noir]

If any of this bullshit is true*, please let it be

My Morning Jacket is getting a subheadlining position and an extra long set, although to get that they had to compromise and it will likely half overlap with the headliner of the day and will probably be on the Outdoor

, and please schedule it against No Doubt.

* Non-Tom Waits and Pulp division.

Sahara is essentially not even booked at all, it’s a bit of a mess. There was a big internal dispute over the direction the Sahara will head in next year…some wanted to keep booking EDC/Hard acts, some wanted to go more experimental.

Ha! Too ridiculous even for the anything's possible thread.

But damn how I wish this were true.

From this only one headliner I care about and it's (allegedly) on Sunday. Sounds perfect

[ballroomdancer22]

No way "The Throne" would settle for anything less than a headliner spot

[ballroomdancer22]

Btw, if this is based on fact my lineup pool submission isn't looking too shabby

"that's why they said no"

[guedita]

I'm just glad that Bon Iver has been literally booked since last year; figurative bookings are a bitch.

Funny how such an irrelevant "bullshit from a bullshit blog" post got so many of you dashing to your keyboards to weigh in.

99.99% of the comments on Monk are easily identifiable crap, and that one falls into the other .01 of either potentially legitimate or a very well excecuted attempt at looking so. Worth a read for that alone.

[guedita]

Thank you for your weigh in on our weigh ins.

[nathanfairchild]

"that's why they said no"

and we all know that GV would obviously know this which makes me question it's mention in this article. seems that they wouldn't even waste their time knowing that both performers headlined the last two coachellas.

Yeah, I guess pick whichever of the two you prefer less.

That's because we are bored

Also I would 100% watch Nikki Minaj.

[nathanfairchild]

will she bring guests?

[heart cooks brain]

will she bring breasts?

my guess is yes

[shermanoaksyo]

It's all your fault
I screeeen my phone calls
No maaaatter who calls
I gotta screee-eee-eeeeen my phone calls

[travelfan]

Hoax, but a beautiful and clever hoax indeed.

[shermanoaksyo]

What drugs should one take for No Doubt's 2012 Coachella headlining set?

[guedita]

Just start taking cyanide now. All of you.

[shermanoaksyo]

Sounds cool. Do you know a good cyanide hookup? I can drive up from L.A.

[Miroir Noir]

Just start taking cyanide now. All of you.

Jim Jones and the People's Temple All-Stars will be closing out the Sahara.

[guedita]

They don't play the heavy dubstep they used to, though. NEEDS MORE WOBBLES.

kreayshawn vs. guedita MC Battle!

"You can't know if you don't ask"

[KidRobot]

I think they could possibly ask if the plan was to just perform "Watch The Throne" in its entirety. There would be no way they'd use a headlining spot for two previous headliners within the last two years and if they really wanted them, it makes sense to at least ask.

[guedita]

kreayshawn vs. guedita MC Battle!

Bitch please. I'll do a live abelton set that will shit all over the white girl mob. I'll use some Lawrence Olivier vocal samples.

[Bumblebee]

Headliners have been locked since June according to Paul T. Throne may have come after that was the hiest billing offered.

I doubt that claim since they play SoCal a in December, a couple weeks before Coachella announcement when traditionally cut off is mid October. Also - how long a set time would they each get?

While I certainly do not think any of this stuff happened, one could argue that bands with A-list musicians who could have headlined in other bands have taken a subheadlining spot, or less, before (Dead Weather, Them Crooked Vultures, The Good The Bad and the Queen, Street Sweeper Social Club). Don't think this is exactly comparable, don't think it happened in the first place, just saying. But I do agree that they, in this ridiculous hypothetical situation, would only perform the album The Throne and nothing more.
