2013 Likely Artists with New/Recent Releases

[tyles]

No way, that's gotta be a separate thread my boy.

I know. I realize the way I wrote it made it look like I wanted the confirmation/rumor thread to be within the headliner thread.

I think I may just end up starting and updating the new thread myself...

I just want some god damn David Byrne. His new album with St. Vincent is really, really good and he is long overdue on the polo fields. Talking Heads is, let's face it, never going to happen but I would be more than pleased with a solo set or St. Vincent collab.

this needs to happen

[Larry Farnsworth]

Brother Ali & Jake One. Please.

[Bob_Loblaw]

Not a lot of hip hop speculation, so here's what I got.

I'm guessing Killer Mike and El-P are in with all the buzz they're getting.

NaS is a good look with the strong review on the last album.

I'm guessing Earl Sweatshirt and (most likely) the other guys will be up to their usual shenanigans, but I think Earl will be the only name listed.

Kid Cudi and Common are overdue at Coachella, so G.O.O.D. music may have a few artists, including 2Chainz as the hyped up rapper (i.e Wiz, A$AP, Lil B)

Lupe is vey likely with F&L 3 dropping soon and im guessing as a strong sub-headliner.

Other hopefuls with new/upcoming releases I'd like to see are:
Blu and Exile
Brother Ali
Talib Kweli
Dom Kennedy
Busta Rhymes
The Procussions (seriously overlooked)
Slaughterhouse

Others that may be there that I'd prefer to miss:
Meek Mill
Mac Miller
Wiz Khalifa
Machine Gun Kelly
Tyga
Big Sean
dare I even think about it...Lil Wayne (eww)

Probably others and we still have some time for some random rapper to blow up and get booked.

[Sladokusac]

just heard that Tool are definitely not doing summer 2013 festivals in Europe, which means the record wont be out by then
if the record would come out anytime before May 2013, they would do June/July EU festivals
so pretty certain no Coachella in 2013

Are you saying you heard this yourself from Sufjan, or read it in an interview somewhere? I'm not being snarky; just curious.

It would be a big bummer if he's stopped playing at the more energetic venues (someone else said he doesn't like shows where people are standing, or something like that).

Not sure if I ever responded to this but yes I heard it from him after his Oakland show in 2010.

Yeah. I'm gonna go the complete opposite of this post in a lot of ways. I want these rappers at Coachella this year:

Schoolboy Q
Danny Brown
Phony Ppl
Ab Soul
Killer Mike

I'd take Meek Mill if it came down to it, but I don't think he's gonna play.

[Karnifexlol]

tennis!

YEA!

[Karnifexlol]

Tame Impala is very likely and I REALLY hope it happens. They're festival fiends.

Today's news is about my band How To Destroy Angels. I'm happy to announce we've formally partnered with Columbia Records for our next series of releases. The first of these will be available in November and it's called An Omen EP. As you may have guessed, it's an EP. It contains six songs, some of which are from our full-length LP which is coming early next year.
We are making some videos, we are going to be performing live, and that's all the details I have for now on those matters.

Regarding our decision to sign with Columbia, we've really spent a long time thinking about things and it makes sense for a lot of reasons, including a chance to work with our old friend Mark Williams. There's a much more granular and rambling answer I could give (and likely will in an interview someplace) but it really comes down to us experimenting and trying new things to see what best serves our needs. Complete independent releasing has its great points but also comes with shortcomings.

We are all very excited about you checking out the new stuff. Wish I could tell you more, but you know how this works... it would take all the fun out of it!

Thankfully nobody from that list will be booked.

MEEK! so sophisticated

WOOP

fuck really? source on this?

[mrhand]

fuck really? source on this?

Likely someone unimpeachable and well connected. Like a dude with a Tool t-shirt at the end of the bar.

[Bob_Loblaw]

I'd take Meek Mill if it came down to it, but I don't think he's gonna play.

I forgot Danny Brown wasn't booked last year at Coach, I know he made an appearance and played every other festival. I think he's a for sure booking this year, along with Schoolboy Q.

[PJandBompton]

I think the hip-hop lineup will look similar to this...

Missy Elliot & Timbaland
Nas
ScHoolboy Q
Danny Brown
El-P
Ab-Soul
Joey Bada$$
Curren$y

possibly Wiz if they are thin on subheadliners.

[Sladokusac]

i promote regularly in Europe so when i post something here, its a direct source, either from agent or management

[heart cooks brain]

which tool shirt are you wearing?

[Baby Sandwich]

which tool shirt are you wearing?

probably something an Alex Grey -ish.

[Sladokusac]

i have two tool t-shirts! yes!

[Sladokusac]

so as far as i know at the moment; daft punk, tool and nine inch nails are all a NO for coachella 2013

what seems very very likely to me right now is Depeche Mode being one of the headliners

[citizenerased]

what seems very very likely to me right now is Depeche Mode being one of the headliners

why's that?

[Sladokusac]

i dont know, i just think that GV is after them, the band has a history with Coachella, they attract that older crowd, very influential band, Paul loves the band etc
the new record is coming out soon, they are touring the States during March/April, and if that semi-fake touring route that leaked is something to judge by, they are in California and Mexico around Coachella weekends, with no LA date on the whole tour

i just think its very very possible now

[Tront]

Is this a direct source, either from agent or management?

[heart cooks brain]

fake dates usually show up on a msg board at 2 in the morning.

[concertgoer]

So a semi-fake list of tour dates confirms a band?
Good to know....

[heart cooks brain]

it worked for bonnaroo and radiohead this year.

[captncrzy]

they are touring the States during March/April

No they aren't.

a) those tour rumors (at least the US ones in March/April) were debunked months ago
b) DM does not start touring before their album is released
c) DM could make a shit ton more money doing two full shows at the Hollywood Bowl

[Coachella Bound]

wait what..... i agree w/ most of what u just said. But theres no way they make more money doing two HB shows than 2 headlining spots at Coachella..... do they....???

[captncrzy]

I guess it all depends on what they get paid. But three sold out shows in the LA area versus two festival appearances? I'd say they'd make more on their own.

In any case, what has been trickling in indicates to me that they're starting their tour in May somewere in Eastern Europe and touring through the beginning of 2014. I assume they'll come to the states in the fall.
