2013 Lineup Confirmation/Rumors Thread

[Silence Kid]

Why don't you morons just stop responding to him?

[MotorAve]

then try harder.

You'll need a new avatar before you're taken the least bit seriously, fyi.

[Drewski27]

My buddy today was hinting at RHCP being approached awhile back like someone was saying on here months ago, but didn't full on know what the outcome was.

[RotationSlimWang]

Why don't you morons just stop responding to him?

Seriously, what the fuck else is there to do? There's almost no speculating left.

In an annoying admission, I had a horrible dream the other night where I had convinced like 10 people who'd never attended Coachella before to come out with me at the last minute and for some reason the lineup wasn't revealed until you actually set foot inside the fields and got your booklet, and everyone flipped through and found out The Killers and Muse were headlining and then I had to try to cheer them up.

lol

[RotationSlimWang]

Here's one reason that this scenario really doesn't make sense to me: you have RHCP on FRIDAY? I mean, they have evolved into a bunch of bags of shit, granted, but they're still such a huge draw it seems utterly absurd that they'd be playing on the first night with the fucking Killers closing. We've been through a repeat headliners year before, that isn't beyond the realm of possibility (hell, there's only so many combinations of bands big enough to headline) but you're putting the biggest one on Friday?

How about we discuss any of the four artists that were more or less confirmed today? Although I assume everyone saw Of Monsters and Men, Alabama Shakes, and Alt-J coming from a mile away. Alt-J are pretty mediocre live, they were outplayed by one of the their openers when I saw them at Rickshaw Stop over the summer. Looking forward to Alabama Shakes, still haven't had a chance to see them play yet.

[RotationSlimWang]

... because I don't give a flying fuck about them? Look, I don't come on this board to discuss new music. I come on here to call people names, you ass suck.

"Open your mouth and swallow these. I'm not saying they'll make this shitshow any better, but..."

[Drewski27]

I don't see why that would be the first threepeet headliner. they really aren't even that great anymore. My friend who was relaying this was even doubtful himself.

[RotationSlimWang]

And then, promptly--testicles.

And this is why I love all you crude assholes.

[RotationSlimWang]

Stop interrupting me and Guedi being witty, dickless wonder.

WHAT THOUGHTFUL COMMENTARY

[RotationSlimWang]

WAY TO KEEP THE THREAD ON TRACK. WE REALLY NEEDED YOUR HELP.

[guedita]

I'm still amused by this morning's moronic assertions that Monklish was an alias AND NOTHING ELSE BUT. Thanks, thread.

[RotationSlimWang]

Hehehe, I saw that on my phone while I was at work and felt an immediate overwhelming sense of pride.


Goddamn, I am GOOD.

[MotorAve]

I don't see why that would be the first threepeet headliner.

You've got a more Southern Californian band in mind?

I like how I was totally full of shit but now you have a friend who might have said that one of the things I said was right.

[guedita]

Also, I like MotorAve.

Or at the very least, I hate how pitiful everyone else's attempts to ridicule him are.

[Drewski27]

He said they were approached, not signed. That doesn't make you "right". If their name pops up on the lineup, then you would be right. I only think you're full of shit for suggesting the Killers and Muse.

[RotationSlimWang]

RHCP I buy I suppose, they're just easy plus it makes Atoms for Peace logical. The Killers even I guess I can imagine being a likely choice cause how many other newer headliners are there out there. The Muse thing makes fucking no sense though. Also, I'd like to think that GV wouldn't lazy out on us just because they no longer have to worry about whether or not they'll sell tickets.

[MotorAve]

He said they were approached, not signed.

When did he say they were "approached"?

[guedita]

what about bjork

[RotationSlimWang]

You are like an entire universe of assholes that has experienced the opposite of The Big Bang and been condensed into one infinitely pure, small molecule of pure condensed asshole.

[gswhooper]

I'd like to think that GV wouldn't lazy out on us just because they no longer have to worry about whether or not they'll sell tickets.

This.

[RotationSlimWang]

I'm holding out hope for Bjork. I bawled like a fucking baby in 07 during her set, like seven separate times.

In my defense, I was on about 10 really nice rolls and things were... moving.

[Drewski27]

He didn't say how long ago.

[MotorAve]

Yeah, I believe they were signed over a year ago.

[concertgoer]

I just don't buy all three headliners being KROQ acts
Two maybe, but not three.
