2013 Lineup Confirmation/Rumors Thread

[paulb]

With the lack of Rolling Stones looking probable at the moment, Im throwing my support with what Monklish has listed as headliners, Phoenix/NIN or Bjork/Daft Punk. My 2 cents.

[wompwomp]

I saw Eminem do that same setlist at Osheaga that year. Not great. Lose Yourself was off the chain though.

The backing track is so noticeable for that guy. I know a lot of rappers do it, but it was so bad for him. Really distracting.

[travelfan]

So, a picture of a Ball of Stone in the field = Rolling Stones? Last month they posted a pic of a iron lion. Iron Leon = Kings of Leon? Leon = Lion in spanish.
just sayin'...

If you're taking this as a hint, Gold Lion = Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I don't think it is, though.

Phoenix would have to be a bi headline (probably with YYY's), and don't forget New Order. I would be fine with any combination of these acts as long as I get either DP or Bjork as a matter of fact that would be a decent line-up indeed.

Eminem will surely be a lazy booking if it does come true between Bonaroo & Osheaga last year, and Lollapalooza two years ago. In my mind, same goes for Muse RHCP (Bonaroo & Lollapalooza 2012)

[OKTelevision]

Daft Punk is not playing.. Sadly ;(

[travelfan]

If the Chili Peppers were indeed approached a year ago, I actually don't think it is that lazy if the strategy was, "We're going to go after some really elusive and hard to get headliners this year, RHCP seem interested, let's get one solid headliner on the books so we can put the rest of our focus on getting two rarer ones." Especially since they were doing that Rock and Roll Hall of Fame thing during 2012, maybe they were approached for that year. Some combination of RHCP/Sabbath/Dre/Radiohead.

I am not a fan, but there is no denying that to a KROQ type of audience, they are a gigantic band and have been around forever.

This is all the most desperate of speculation, of course. I needz mah lineup.

Could go either way I guess. I'd rather have KOL over YYY's though. Lesser of two evils, IMO. haha

[bobchella]

Fuck KROQ. LA's #12 Radio Station.

How the fuck is YYY evil compared to the generic sell out crap that is KOL? You're a troll looking for a response.

Except one is pretty much all but confirmed by a pretty reliable source, and the other isn't touring, no album, headlined two years ago, etc.

While I see your point and do think it has some validity I also believe that if the other two big name festivals (Bonaroo & Lolla) book a band and you get them the year after that, it reads off as lazy booking. Especially since I'm sure RHCP are an expensive act to book. I always saw Coachella as being the best US festival and would be disappointed with an Eminen or RHCP

[MotorAve]

Amazingly this doesn't appear to have been discussed. Mick told Rolling Stone they're not in talks with Coachella.

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/ne...-2013-20130104

The first hint of 2013 Stones concerts came the day before the second show in Newark, when the band's iPhone app listed an appearance next April at Coachella. That info quickly disappeared from the official schedule, and Jagger swears he doesn't know how it got there, that he had not been approached about playing at the festival. "I always said that we'd see how this would go, and then we'd think about doing more – or not."

i.e. Mick Jagger himself just told you exactly what I said my Stones source was telling me. And the interview is from 12/17, which means that my lineup source may be correct that talks started in the following two weeks. Or maybe he doesn't know and is hedging his bets, but I don't think that's his style. Either way, lick my hairy balls.

Sorry that we don't have the same taste in music, my friend. No troll here, just posting my opinion. I think KOL are more headliner-worthy then the YYY's though. They're all sell-outs in the end. It's what musicians do :-/

[MotorAve]

I will say this: the leaks and circumstantial evidence confirms seem like they're way down this year. Maybe just my perception, which could be off, but it seems like a lot less news this year. It's part of the reason this thread has turned almost exclusively into navel gazing and the inexplicablely long-running MotorAve troll carousel.

The lineup announcement may actually be pretty damn surprising.

Maybe

[MotorAve]

You can probably fill in....
1) Sigur Ros
2) The Avalanches (The Replacements) - thinking one of those two will play
3) Vampire Weekend
4) Lil Wayne (looking at this list, I can only think of Wayne/Drake that might fit hip hop category: http://www.complex.com/music/2013/01...lbums-of-2013/)

I don't know all the subs, but I think travelfan is going to have a better record than you

[MotorAve]

And also confirms that I was 100% correct when I said, before 3 days ago, that the Stones were not playing Coachella.

[algunz]

Please Motor, as an homage to Camus, just skip the coffee today.

[MotorAve]

Of course, you all will acknowledge that I was correct and not hide in a corner somewhere. concertgoer in particular, given his great concern about the Stones' quick denial of such rumors, will acknowledge that they basically did so immediately.

[Boourns]

Mick Jagger ate a Mars bar out of Moto Rave's wife.

You are the most delusional piece of shit on the planet

[nathanfairchild]

yet you backtracked anyway when you thought there was a real chance they might play...

you're not convincing anyone.

[heart cooks brain]

a polo ball posted onthe coachella facebook page does not make the rolling stones

''less likely''.

A post that deserves TomAZ's "go fuck yourself."

[Tront]

Don't forget RHCP also headlined ACL, as well as played at every single city in the world in 2012.

[Boourns]

RHCP played every city in the world and headlined Lollapalooza in 2006...

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Kind of confirms that you've been 100% wrong for the past 3 days

KOL headlined 2 years ago. YYY's will sub. You're the only one that questioned this.
