RADIOHEAD

[Transitory]

So stoked for this. Shit.

[Iamwelting]

I was so used to seeing their name on every fake poster that it took me a while to realize they are actually playing. So pumped to be seeing them again. The first time I saw them remains unequivocally the best show I've ever seen, so I'm hoping they can top it.

[sonofhal]

Anything else worth seeing on around the same time?

[microcuts]

David Guetta fo sho

[KidRobot]

TKOL is the album that every Radiohead fan loves to hate. I admit upon my first few listens, I was in the same boat. But I put it away for a few months and then returned to it and connected with it just as I did with their previous albums. I suggest this for everyone else. Maybe it won't work, but it could happen the same way it did for me. And, "Lotus Flower" is going to sound godly on the Polo Fields so don't worry.

[nathanfairchild]

i have to agree that at first the king of limbs didn't really do anything for me, but i've since gone back and watched the basement performance several times and the album has really started to grow on me.

[Iamwelting]

If there is a Mangum/RH conflict I may have to cut myself in half in an attempt to see both

[mekanism]

The most overrated band ever! Showertime for me unless someone else decent is playing in this slot.

[bucketofpower]

Be sure not to drown in your shower. Or drown.

[zachyd]

I plan on closing my nights with:

Swedish House Mafia
Radiohead
Justice

Radiohead could possibly top any set I've seen the past 3 years. Haven't seen them since Outside Land first night ever in 2008.

[thom cobain]

Glad about it.

[suprefan]

Yeah right, Mangum cant play with other music playing, really. Its him and a acoustic guitar.

[amyzzz]

I echo the call for a two hour set.

Howsabout a 2 hour set WITH NO ONE ELSE PLAYING on the other stages, huh? huh?

[ficklecycle]

Goldenvoice, do not put some rave bullshit on after Radiohead. Let them close the stage, or there will be blood.

[Bons222000]

I'm thinking Kaskade---> Guetta in the Sahara during Radiohead? Would be brilliant booking actually. Take away that crowd and make the main stage less crowded. I hope they get longer than 2 hrs.

Serious question though, considering the Thom Yorke cluterfuck in 2010 how early do you think you'll have to get there to get a decent spot? I'm not waiting all day, but I think it's not going to be just a case of "get there as Bon Iver is finishing" thing. Will I be forced to watch all of Bon Iver just to get a decent spot (not that I hate him, Just thinking better stuff will be going on like Flylo)

[sacleonard]

Yeah, it's going to be focusing on the new album, but since they're headlining a major festival (twice), I am hoping they'll mix in some older material too (or at least some of the "In Rainbows" material).

[amyzzz]

In 2004, Radiohead did pander to the masses and play Creep, if that helps.

[Phantasma Del Mar]

Wasn't that because The Pixies asked them to play that song?

A decent spot will mean getting there several acts early, and I won't be doing that. Been up front a few times and doing so would mean missing non-main stage acts like Mangum, Godspeed, St Vincent and then having to watch Bon Iver, The Shins, Noel Gallagher, etc while playing the wait game.

[amyzzz]

Well, clearly we need one of the other much-respected Coachella artists to ask Thom Yorke for Idioteque or something.

[sacleonard]

Yeah, I was there. I remember that. I just missed seeing them in support of "In Rainbows," so I am hoping they incorporate some of that material into April's show.

So whats pandering to them this time?

[Abe Lincoln]

They should return the favor and play a Prince song.

[Mega man]

I want to hear Planet Telex, 15 step, and House of Cards. Is this going to be likely?

[Twattycakes]

pretty sure creators project is dead?

Radiohead does not need the creators project. Radiohead is the creators project. Expect brilliance.

[Somewhat Damaged]

"Lotus Flower" is incredible live. That was by far my favorite of the 2nd Roseland show. I wonder if they'll still have Portishead's drummer? Would be awesome if they covered "The Rip," though I won't hold my breath.

FlyLo is the fanboy you're looking for.

How Am I Driving in its entirety.

Also, this thread needs more dancing Thom.

[Highly Refined Pirate]

I haven't been this excited about a headliner since Paul McCartney.
