2013 Lineup Confirmation/Rumors Thread

[Drewski27]

I'm hoping it's not true and they come back a few years later.

[Alchemy]

So wait... Motor isn't just saying that Muse and The Killers will headline, but that Muse and The Killers and Red Hot Chili Peppers will headline? And that RHCP will headline on Friday, with The Killers closing out Sunday?

[Mugwog]

But what about Daft Punk?

[microcuts]

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

You really think that GV is signing bands for the next year's festival when the current festival hasn't even happened yet? And that if they actually need to do something like that, RHCP is a band that warrants that kind of action? K.

[marcoslegaspi]

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?

What about Coachella 2009 and Paul McCartney headlining on friday, before The Killers?

No way the Killers close it next year. One thing that could explain 2009 was the idea that people would drive/fly out for Friday and decide to stay for the weekend since they already made the trek to Indio.

Wasn't that back when they were still selling individual day tickets? They clearly wanted some kind of incentive for people to go on Friday.

"think"

[Alchemy]

Well, all this contradicts what my friend at Capital Records told me: Friday - Dexys Midnight Runners performing Searching for the Young Soul Rebels. Saturday - Dexys Midnight Runners performing Too-Rye-Ay. Sunday - Dexys Midnight Runners performing One Day I'm Going to Soar.

[Drewski27]

Sounds better than the Killers - Muse - RHCP combo

[obzen]

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.

Upon closer inspection I'm sure those booklets contained dickbutt.

[obzen]

RHCP were signed on a year ago? That's doing too much.


Only a soulless ginger would try and sell some bullshit like that.

Maybe Paul wanted to be the "highest" name on the poster. Maybe he wanted the Thursday evening soundcheck. As a last minute headliner replacement maybe Cure/killers couldn't swap days?

[themonstermash]

Daft Punk The Rolling Stones Outkast

Grizzly Bear Sigur Ros Jack White Beck

Portishead Devendra Banhart The XX Yeasayer RUN DMC

all confirmed through mind tapping goldenvoice

You know, I don't know if you're joking, but this could be as valid as any other suggestion. Still to this day I think that Prince refused to be listed half-way down the 2008 poster. It is rather intriguing how 2008 had the same exact format as any other year, but as soon as he got added, they suddenly switched to a weird "single-event" kind of layout with his name listed as the very first one.

[santasutt]

Led Zep on Letterman tonight.

What are the chances..............?

[Drewski27]

Zilch.

[Mugwog]

Led Zep on Letterman tonight.

Anything is possible.

[menikmati]

I heard the exact rumor at Coachella this year about RHCP already being signed a year out...and this was coming from someone who managed a few of the bands who played this year, so um yeah...

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Well this has become quite awful.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

For what it's worth...I know for a fact Arcade Fire were signed for 2011 before 2010 even happened so yes.

See my arcade fire post.

[Drewski27]

Well, fuck. So RHCP then. That day better have a strong undercard.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

A bag of mislead Doritos.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's totally incorrect. I remember waiting for that poster to come out in the chat room that year, Paul was announcing it live on some radio something, and it came out all as one big poster first with just Jack, Portishead, and Roger.

Well this has become quite awful.

Look, anybody who expects all three headliners to be something they like are assholes.

[Alchemy]

I remember the poster that was only the Prince symbol and nothing else. That was cool. I don't remember the poster without the separate days, though.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I remember seeing the split poster only as you were walking into the festival that year.
