Omnibus 2013 Headliner Speculation and Argument Thread

[RotationSlimWang]

Neither one of those bands can headline.

After last year are there any rap acts left we need to worry about boring the shit out of us? It feels like every hip-hop act left capable of headlining was there last year, and it still sucked.

So wrong

I'm curious to why this thread is titled Omnibus. Methinks Mirior doesn't understand the word. Mirior, care to hop in and defend yourself?

i think op sees that what goes on here will be getting to the point where the headliner slot becomes a democracy and the highest amount of posts about certain acts will become the headliners.

[TickleMeElmo]

Since when have the postal service announced that they're coming out with their second album? Your lineup seems very plausible, but I have yet to hear the news that the postal service is coming out with new material...

They haven't announced anything at all, much like how At The Drive-In and Refused didn't announce anything at this time last year. Just a simple guess at the reunion booking.

[WhatLies]

....I would rather have someone else than the Stones at Coachella. They would be a better fit at Roo.

Ughhhhh are you high? The stones would fit perfectly at coachella, hearing start me up and sympathy for the devil at the polo fields would be uncanny... The best part of it all is that a good portion of tickets have already gone to the Coachella demographic, so there won't be a bunch of old timers Filling the festival

Gotcha.

[concertgoer]

The Stones on the Polo Fields would be fantastic.

What would be uncanny about hearing those songs at Coachella?

One's resemblance to another person can be uncanny. Hearing songs that you like at a music festival you attend wouldn't be.

[Neighborhood Creep]

I would be ecstatic

[Miroir Noir]

Yeah, the more I think about it, I would be as happy to see the Stones as anyone, including Bowie or Byrne.

Kanye & Jay Z could possibly Headline one night after they drop, 'Watch the Throne 2.'

That's not really an accurate definition. "Omnibus" specifies the combination of multiple individual things into one item that covers all of them. You can't create an omnibus in advance of the parts, it defies the meaning of the word. If there were already several threads and they all got combined into one, then it would be an omnibus.

... so we're going to have a double repeat of boring headliners respectively two and three years after? Fuck that.

uncanny describes my idea of the rolling stones at Coachella for many reasons. My first Coachella experience was seeing Paul McCartney so having the stones there brings a sense of familiarity to the polo fields that macca brought in 09. It would also be uncanny because I foresee an image of the stones rocking the polo fields in my dreams, so if they were actually to play and for me to actually be there would make the experience uncanny

fuck that is right, but you do realize that this could actually happen

[RotationSlimWang]

For this year? No, it will not happen.

Back to a conversation that actually means half a shit: are there any hip-hop acts who HAVEN'T headlined already who could?

[GolfWang]

Outkast and Eminem. But neither of those are happening. I'd put my money on Jay and Kanye headlining together in 2014.

Anyone who thinks The Fugees, A Tribe Called Quest or Wu-Tang could headline are delusional, btw.

[WhatLies]

A conversation that has meant half a shit in 100000s of other threads

[RotationSlimWang]

The Fugees could absolutely headline, you're out of you're fucking mind. Outkast yes, good call, forgotten about that, probably because they're so resistant to the idea. Em could and should have instead of Dre and Snoop. Half the audience left after the white man exited the stage anyway.

[GolfWang]

The Fugees could absolutely headline, you're out of you're fucking mind.

I dunno, I guess it's possible. I've seen The Fugees before. Although it was at a KROQ Weenie Roast in 1997 (I think). They were on at like 3pm and they were awful. They showed up late and got really pissed when the stage started turning on them when they were still in the middle of a song. Nobody cared. Again, it was the KROQ crowd and after being gone for a while I'm sure some people probably care more now than they did back then, but I still don't think they're big enough to headline.

[RotationSlimWang]

Being boring/shitty didn't stop a lot of other headliners. The point is they'd be a draw. I suppose they might sub, but I think given how popular a string of motherfuckers on stage with just a microphone has been I think GV would jump at the chance.

I think Eminem could do it, especially if he brought D12. They aren't super spectacular or anything but gives them a bigger catalog to choose from. I wish Outkast wasn't so upset with one another cause' I think that they would be by far the best choice (if they were going with the usual hip-hop headliner).

[RotationSlimWang]

D12 really adds to his catalog all that much? Dude has hundreds of songs and more hit singles than I think anybody else from our generation.

Bjork * No Doubt * The Rolling Stones

[Coachella Bound]

Jack White & Friends < DP
Neil Young < Pearl Jam
Sigur Ros < Rolling Stones

[RotationSlimWang]

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.

Monklish's early guesses were Phoenix, Nine Inch Nails, and Daft Punk.
