Have they played Coachella before?

[Miroir Noir]

Here's the tape, folks. Anyone who sees the possibility of further live concert dates out of Led Zeppelin -- much less fucking Coachella -- is engaged in some serious wishful thinking:



Edit: the New York press conference was the one I was thinking of, much clearer:

...but the BODY LANGUAGE!

Nope! I want them to close the night on the Outdoor Theater with "Randy Described Eternity"

[Spooks]

I'm sure someone posted this from Rolling Stone that came out last week....

The idea of a tour was batted around, but Page refuses to divulge the full list of singers who jammed with the group. Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy has publicly acknowledged rehearsing with the group, and Page doesn't deny that. "It sounded premature," he says. "I could see what way it was going. Various people thought we should go on tour. I thought we needed a good, credible album, not do something that sounded like we were trying to milk the O2."

Steven Tyler has also said he flew to England to jam with the band. "The timing wasn't the best," says Page. "We had put so much toward the O2. And the three of us were catching up with stuff. It was very good, seriously promising. But there was this other thing going on. [Pauses] And that's it."

DO YOU LIIII KRIH TUL JEAHL

Here's the tape, folks. Anyone who sees the possibility of further live concert dates out of Led Zeppelin -- much less fucking Coachella -- is engaged in some serious wishful thinking:

Nobody said they were fucking playing. The original post was that they stated plainly they would not reunite. The original press conference and media attention that followed all pointed out that they didn't deny a reunion. The entire band wants to, just not the singer. He was busy with Alison Krauss, now he isn't. The rest of the band looked for other singers to replace him, but abandoned the idea. That's a long way from them saying they will 'never reunite again' at 'every interview they do'.

[microcuts]

55% or 75% full is not a sell out. I don't care what a promoter calls it. 11,127 at MSG is not only NOT a sellout, but probably the lowest attended public event at MSG that year. And if these 'facts' are being used at the basis to say that an act cannot headline Chella because they can't draw at MSG, well, then I think I proved my point.

I don't really see what MSG has to do with Coachella, either, honestly. Phoenix, LCD Soundsystem, and Rammstein all filled that venue, but few people really view them as headliners.

Not to bring Bjork back into this (even though she kind of started it) - but if she's not capable of headlining Coachella*, then she's not coming back at all. No one in Coachella's entire history has come back after headlining to take a lower slot. Beck doesn't count because he's not even on the poster for 2004.

*And she is capable, so. yeah.

So, to summarize, no headliners can perform again and not headline, because that hasn't happened yet, except for the one time it did, which is inconvenient for your theory so it doesn't count.

[nbvcide]

i agree, and that was my point. I don't think MSG has anything to do with chella, that's why i brought up all of that regarding past headliners.

i think Bjork could still headline, chella could have a much lighter lineup than last year and still ensure sell outs. chella has a hip factor that drives interest, particularly in SoCal, that and a devoted fan base. KROQ festivals can draw as much as chella closer to LA, using bigger names. Coachella doesn't have to. there are a few names that would bump bjork to sub, but not many, and even fewer that GV is gonna pay to book at this point.

Yeah, except it really doesn't count. His name wasn't used to get ticket sales. I don't even think he was added until days before the fest, when the set times came out, even. It was more of a special "surprise" appearance than anything.

Built to Spill 2013 Tour dates...Coachella please

This would be awesome.

[RotationSlimWang]

i've argued this point before. And was right. Twice. Both Franz Ferdinand and Interpol were billed 2nd, and when they came back were billed 3rd. (Randy, u still owe me a beer)

I have no idea what the fuck you're referring to. I don't bet beers with people. That's something that guys who knock up fat chicks do.

if you hadn't done so many drugs randy, ivy could've gotten knocked up to.

i don't care if u fucking remember a bet over Interpol made in 2010 (or late '09). You didn't bet a beer, i did. You took the bet (so did Jeff).

Rammstein filled it because were playing their first US show in ten years, and were probably popular enough at the time to headline Coachella, but the wrong demographic. LCD only filled it because it was their "last show ever" (and they're a hometown band). Phoenix, a Coachella #2, sold fewer than 13K seats on the strength of a platinum top ten single and with the aid of hometowners Dirty Projectors. They could conceivably headline a future year if they repeat the last record's success.

[Miroir Noir]

That's a long way from them saying they will 'never reunite again' at 'every interview they do'.

Which is not what I said, either.

[nbvcide]

Phoenix. Once again being liberal with the term 'filling' Madison Square Garden.

[RotationSlimWang]

What the fuck do you know about Madison Square Garden you Orange County twat?

[nbvcide]

Which is not what I said, either.

No, but Phantasma did.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

What the fuck do you know about Madison Square Garden you Orange County twat?

Sig.

[nbvcide]

ORANGE COUNTY?!?!?!

Sounds like a loser from Jersey who couldn't hack it to me..


(btw, i was attending shows at MSG when u were still watching backyard wrestling)

said the guy who tried to fuck the same fat chick 6 months earlier and got rejected. lolz

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Ugh....

It does not matter who we "think" can headline. Does not matter. It doesn't matter if Goldenvoice decides they want Animal Collective to headline or Grizzly Bear or Wilco or R. Kelly or Rihanna or :insert your favorite band, artist or singer here: Doesn't matter. It mattered before when they needed to shift a large amount of tickets but Coachella has shifted, now people go for the "experience" and the music is merely icing on a cake now. Goldenvoice can make whoever they want as a headliner without having to worry about sales. The festival sold out without a line up and will continue to do so going forward. Until the time comes where the festival becomes irrelevant and sales falter then this discussion can be brought up again.

[nbvcide]

i'd love to see Animal Collective headline...i'd love it if we didn't have the 2-4 names per poster that have mass appeal. and if they could use that cash to fatten up the undercard even more, all the better.

am i missing something?

yes, i'd love AC to headline Quatch. they might even do it next year..

if ur saying they don't have the fat on top, i disagree. Beck, Foo Fighters, Bon Iver.. chella tends to be a bit more ecclectic, whereas Quatch can fake it with the vast amount of local acts..and fest regulars that also played chella, lolla, and roo.

[heart cooks brain]

Nope! I want them to close the night on the Outdoor Theater with "Randy Described Eternity"

Spooks, if you werent such a douchbag i'd kiss you

[nbvcide]

i also support Built To Spill at chella....even if it is about ten years overdue. Same with Imperial Teen.

Can we get a separate thread going about fucking fat chicks and backyard wrestling? Sounds promising.
