2013 Lineup Confirmation/Rumors Thread

[loopy]

So, Black Keys to fill in again?

[VigoTheCarpathian]

And the fact that the stones haven't denied anything. They would have denied it. Or rahter, their publicist would have.

You can say "well spencer krug hasn't denied it either" but it's not the same.

Edit: the Krug would deny it even if he was playing probably mostly out of confusion or something

[gregatron]

Yeah, there is no way that The Knife would make Coachella their first show of the new tour.

The rolling stones app update of the Apr. 12 thing is curious though isn't it?

I still want to know the explanation behind this.

[TallGuyCM]

I still want to know the explanation behind this.

It probably sounds something like this.

Paul Tollett doing his best Trainspotting impression: I JUST NEED ONE HIT

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

EVERYONE STEP AWAY FROM THE INTERNET AND REMAIN CALM.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I still want to know the explanation behind this.

TROLLZ THEY'RE EVERYWHERE.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

We're getting underwhelming headliners.

EVERY YEAR WE GET UNDERWHELMING HEADLINERS. WHAT WILL MAKE THIS YEAR ANY DIFFERENT?

[thom cobain]

one fucking het.

Sometimes we get one good one

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Sometimes we get one good one

REALLY? AND YOU'VE SEEN THIS YEAR'S LINE UP? TELL ME, WHICH IS THE UNDERWHELMING HEADLINER OUT OF THE 3 OR 4?

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

one fucking het.

Then the lights came on, it was all a scene
Bend back, give head it's not pornography
If you do it with lights then it's art you see
If you do it with a twist
Yes, artistically

YEAH, THERE IS NO WAY A BAND CAN OPEN THEIR TOUR AT COACHELLA. ITS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I MEAN LOOK AT ALL THE EVIDENCE....OH WAIT......

[thizzin my brains out]

Because coachella is now 2 weekends the exclusivity of it is completely gone. A group like the knife, or Bowie, or even daft punk are now less likely to play coachella because it is two weekends. It isn't nearly as sexy. Also, I'm sure that bands have to turn down offers to play now all the time because of scheduling conflicts with one of the two weekends.

Yeah I have. I'm just some kind of masochist

Possible, plausible, probable painstakingly pajoritive

[know ID ya]

haha Muse finally filled in those "Polo Field sized tour gaps".

Drats.

[VigoTheCarpathian]

Anything is sexy if you get payed well for it kid.

Own 20 gas stations and I promise you'll be the sexiest gas station attendant.

clearly less sexy. despite the hefty pay loads. Can you prove for a fact that the 2 weekends make it more difficult to book acts? I mean hell, with major touring markets like San Francisco, San Diego and Phoenix what will they do with their time?

[VigoTheCarpathian]

You're really asking some random kid with no concert curating experience if he can prove facts about curating concerts.

I might be inclined to ask you some questions.

[VigoTheCarpathian]

Know when to hold 'em... know when to fold 'em whistle whistle whistle

[know ID ya]

same s/n on the lollaboard.

As well as many many other insufferable aliases over there.

Well, if he is going to speak in facts, then I will ask.

As you were, Sir.

[obzen]

When The Knife doesn't appear on the poster it'll be a bummer.

[VigoTheCarpathian]

Oh man. I'm going for a walk.

[iantmcfarland]

Huh that's weird, the line-up isn't up yet

[thizzin my brains out]

Not really facts, more an educated guess. For example, let's say Bowie isn't opposed to the idea of a one-off. Well, you can't do that at coachella. Now you would have to have a two-off, and that is much less likely to happen with someone like Bowie, who explicitly says he does not like playing to large audiences and has had health problems of late.

Also, having the festival over two weekends with two identical lineups makes it less likely for goldenvoice to book the expensive acts, like the Rolling Stones. You know why? Because it would be twice as expensive.

Logic. I know it can be scary.

Why, because they aren't selling twice the tickets I guess.

Logic. Scary.
