Omnibus 2013 Headliner Speculation and Argument Thread

[Weatherman]

Bands that open for Linkin Park do not headline Coachella. This is 2012.

snoop dogg?

[xuclarockerx]

But what if the undercard was beyond cats in space?

Maybe, but just seeing my friends who have never been go gaga over the shitty headliners w/ no care ever for anything else would annoy me a little.

Sounds like you need to get better friends. Admittedly, so do I.

Jack White
Pearl Jam
Beastie Boys < Daft Punk

you would love more hologram sets, wouldnt you?

[Mugwog]

OHHHHHHHHH

[Coachella Bound]

you would love more hologram sets, wouldnt you?

No... It was cool for the Dre set, but it wouldnt have the same effect if anyone else used it. Sadly i feel the Beastie Boys will always be about the 3 of them. Would i hold it against them if they toured w/out him, no.... They deff would have been on my lineup pool (that post is almost 2 weeks old).


I have absolutely no idea who our headliners are going to be next year....Oddly enough i feel there are more possibilities this year than there were the past 2.

Jack White < Daft Punk
Pearl Jam
Elton John

Pearl Jam also once said they would never ever play festivals again....so I don't buy for a second Eddie wouldn't play because he doesn't wanna play on the polo fields....just seems to me that GV has never approached/asked them all these years as other festivals have (in fact, there was just some article that stated Paul T. hasn't contacted PJ about headlining because he worries fans would just park it at the main stage all day for that...big wtf? on that).

Pearl Jam have several festivals booked this summer. It did take them awhile to play a festival after the Roskilde deaths in 2000.

I saw Pearl Jam at a festival about 2 years ago. Virgin Fest in Calgary.

Phoenix
Depeche Mode
Daft Punk | The Knife

Elton John feels more like an Outside Lands act than a Coachella act.

So far mine goes...

The Flaming Lips (Main Stage before "Headliner") > No Doubt (New Album in September) > Soulwax (Mainstage after No Doubt)
Rufus Wainwright > Simian Mobile Disco > SoundGarden
Armin Van Buuren > A Perfect Circle > EMPTY SPOT*

*This used to be the Beastie Boys spot. I think if they do a retirement show with special guests it would be held in New York rather than Coachella.

aaaaaaaaand Coachella would be back to 1 weekend in 2014 if this were the lineup

[gswhooper]

Have you guys eliminated a rap headliner for 2013?

[guedita]

It's hard, factual science that there will be a rap headliner there on Sunday of next year.

























.............................but who?

[Gribbz]

Who was the classic rock headliner the last 3 years?

[guedita]

The Black Keys
The Arcade Fire
Muse

[guedita]

ALL CLASSIC ROCK IN THE FUTURE

[Gribbz]

I think Die Antwoord is ready to make the leap.

[guedita]

Phoenix is definitely the classic rock headliner this year, though.

Because they played the outside stage

And had a few radio hits a few years ago

You're the worst at this.

[GuyInTucson]

It's a proven, undisputed fact that the headliners will go as follows:

Friday - Previous sub-headliner
Saturday - Classic Rock act
Sunday - Hip Hop Headliner

There will also be a really bad dance act / DJ on the main stage .

[GuyInTucson]

I think Die Antwoord is ready to make the leap.

Well, duh.


Or maybe they can headline the mojave tent.

[Coachella Bound]

a little bird flew into my work today and let me in on a little bit of info......


GV is going after the Stones, the talks have already begun.

[Miroir Noir]

If they're actually going to do a 50th anniversary/farewell tour, Goldenvoice would be crazy not to kick the tires on the possibility.

[amyzzz]

Meh to the Stones.

First Black Sabbath, now this. Someone at GV thinks their boner for geriatric rockers is universal.

[Miroir Noir]

Oh, I imagine that there's a tiny bit of difference in popular sentiment for the Stones as compared with Black Sabbath.

David Bowie
No Doubt
Outkast * The Beach Boys (ala Kanye West * The Strokes)

[SUSHIXXXXX]

Following template of last three years

Outkast or Eminem fill rap slot - darkhorses Drake, Lady Gaga

My Morning Jacket or Green Day fill the contemporary classic rock slate. Darkhorses actual classic rockers - Stones, Neil Young, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, Bruce, Paul Simon - or maybe quick Black Keys Turnaround for Florence.

Daft Punk leads arty fare slot, followed by Tool - darkhorses The National, big time older act like Bowie or Talking Heads or quickly Reunited REM.

Personally, I'd like to see the fest take a year off the rap Headliner if can't get Outkast and go with an Old Timer in one of the three slots next year.

No MMJ. They got hardly any response when they played in 08 and that was when they were at their peak.
