Keep calm everyone. I see my prediction did not come to fruition. Keep in mind we are nearer today than we were yesterday. Rest assured the Kingdom of Goldenvoice is working hard to please all classes of people with their showcase. The electronic fans will rejoice to the return of a fruitful bounty of artists. The giant sunglass, glo-paint fashionables will all be pleased with the latest hipster tween rock. The geezers will find plenty of solace in generational guitar rock gets. The urbanites will rejoice with much glee when they see who Paul T. has placed under the palm trees. There will be rocking, bouncing, oontzing and fist pumpking for all! The art this year will be like glorious treasures from other worlds. The sun will shine bright and throughout the land the Kingdom of Goldenvoice will rejoice once again comparing this year to the greatest lineups of yesteryear. I just ask that you
KEEP CALM AND WAIT FOR THE DESERT BREEZE TO BLOW IN THE LINEUP
Churros.

even though there is no doubt in my mind that he is not playing coachella, maybe we can just discuss how amazing Bowie is. We can all agree and be civil about that right? How amazing would it be to hear him sing the man who sold the word with sound city players.
Coachella 07 (the introduction), 08 (the bands), 09 (the documentary), 10 (the people i came with), 11 (the relationship test... we passed), 12 (whatever the weather, Dirty Epic forever), 13 (taking the good with the bad)

I don't get why they sell tickets on Friday, they could announce the lineup today and sell the tickets on Sunday. Which would be a lot more confortable to buy on a weekend day, I'm sure a lot of people miss the sale because they're working...
What if they announced the lineup and put tickets on sale THE SAME DAY??!!! Have the gods not granted us this ability?
Actually the more I think about this, the more ludicrous it becomes. I think you're high by a factor of at least 100, and maybe quite a bit more than that.
75,000 attendees times $350 a pop = total ticket revenue of about $26 million. They have of course collected most of this already through the presale, but let's keep it at $26 million just to humor you.
Current yields on short term treasuries are well under 1%. bankrate.com is showing 1 year treasures at .14%. Note that's not 14%, no, that is 0.14%. But to humor you I'll use a full 1% APR, which is much higher than what GV can get.
$26 million times 1% divided by 52 (weeks in a year) equals $5000.
but if we use more realistic assumptions.. say they've collected half the cash already through presales, and can only get treasury rates..
$13 million times .14% divided by 52 equals ... are you ready? ... $350. Which makes you 214 times higher than that figure.
edit: yes I have excluded hotel revenues from this because "they" (GV) don't actually own hotels or anything.
In short, 'your estimations' are fucking stupid, and you should go fuck yourself.
So word on the street is that Bonobo is out, you guys.

In other news, The Mars Volta broke up.
Deez nuts :
Not the Devil :
If that Safari tent e-mail was true, and they had three business days (not inclusive of the day it was sent) to pay off in full, I'm guessing that means lineup is Monday. Which is absurd, but hey, their choice. I'm sure what's left of the undercard will self-confirm over the next few days, so at least something will get me there.
It's almost to the point that Justin Timberlake is obviously going to headline this year.
And another idea that has been lost that is certainly a possible headliner in a year with "no headliners"-
Beastie Boys with MCA tribute/fillers (Eminem, Kid Rock, Nas, etc)
