Omnibus 2013 Headliner Speculation and Argument Thread

But... How To Destroy Angels...

Lets just all agree: We want Trent Reznor

[TickleMeElmo]

Well, that was easy.

[travelfan]

It's absolutely true. The entire area back of the soundbooth cleared out like a motherfucker as soon as he left the stage. Sad fact. Then again, that's what happens when the two acts on the bill leave the stage after 20 minutes and bring out one special guest after another. You lose cohesiveness.

If you can find one other person on this board to verify any of the bullshit you've been spewing, I'll believe you.

[IlliniQ]

Bjork * No Doubt * The Rolling Stones

Just gotta ask...where does this No Doubt love come from...if they're a good "Coachella Fit," then the definition of "Coachella Fit" needs serious changing...I'd take a return of any of our recent weakest headliners we've had the last few years...Muse, Killers, Kings Of Leon, hell even Jack Johnson...in a heartbeat over them.

[WhatLies]

Better yet why is Muse consistently categorized as a weak headliner on this board?

[TickleMeElmo]

Weak as in quality or popularity? If it's popularity we're talking about, then how is Muse weak while Arcade Fire isn't?

[Nealocus]

Well, that was easy.

I hope for once this bitch is right.

I have paged my Head Of Black Business to the thread to verify. Whether or not she'll get her lazy ass around to it, I don't know.

[WhyTheLongFace]

Andre 3000 is working on his Hendrix movie and by the time that's done he would have to rush to put an album/prepare for a tour by April. Outkast isn't happening......this year.

My picks are
Lady Gaga or Beyonce
MMJ or Phoenix
Some highly respected act

[CoachellaDan]

Who do you guys think would be most likely to headline with a successful new album: Phoenix, MGMT, or Vampire Weekend?

[Miroir Noir]

Phoenix, because I think they have had the most mainstream radio success so far. As ubiquitous as Vampire Weekend have been, I'm not sure they've even had a top ten single on the alternative or rock charts, much less the pop charts. MGMT seems content to follow their own path at this point, and I think it leads away from headlining spots at festivals.

[themonstermash]

Not sure if Big Boi is big enough to headline but with a new album on the horizon, could definitely sub headline one night in 2013.

Still hoping for an entire Outkast reunion to headline, but this would still be very rad!

He's a fourth liner at Outside Lands, he will never come close to subbing Coachella new album or not.

[Bumblebee]

Better yet why is Muse consistently categorized as a weak headliner on this board?

While I think they are a bonfide headliner, does the categorization come from have a Dance act play after them?
Keys, KOL and Strokes were other top line acts that played 2nd last.

[concertgoer]

RCHP also in 2007.

[Coachella Bound]

another album.... i personally dont think they would be headliners, but w/ names like Phoenix and Vampire Weekend being thrown around, it doesnt hurt to stir the pot a little.

[heart cooks brain]

Are you implying gossip will be billed 3rd on their day?

[themonstermash]

Nope, they're probably big enough to close, I'm just throwing it very loosely out there

[concertgoer]

Wut?
Gossip were on their 5th line in 2010 and they were bigger back then(not a fat joke)

[heart cooks brain]

Coachella wont book big noi. He does a bunch or outkast tracks live, and that would cheapen the eventual reunion.

[Mugwog]

wat if outkast never reunite?

[themonstermash]

ahh, good call

[heart cooks brain]

wat if outkast never reunite?

if that was their attitude they would have booked him one of the past two years.

[rage patton]

I've decided Jack White is headlining next year. Just to fill you guys in.

Like Jarvis Cocker/Pulp? I'm sure there's other examples(Patton, head guy from Pavement)

IMO there is a qualitative difference between an act that would headline and an act that would not.

[Gribbz]

GV won't book Big Boi because he plays too many Outkast songs? Are you guys are being serious?
