Coachella 2013: Full lineup revealed; Justin Timberlake, Daft Punk headline

Years of hopes and rumors have finally come to fruition, for Daft Punk is set to return to the live stage to close the 2013 edition of the dual-weekend Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. Goldenvoice president Paul Tollett felt he painted himself into a corner after last year's edition of the event. "I asked myself how we could live up to the expectations that follow witnessing Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg alongside a hologram of 2Pac, but the stars aligned and I could not be more proud," said Tollett. "We get more requests and fake lineup posters clamoring for Daft Punk than any other act. Getting them to play in 2006 was a last minute miracle that resulted in a worldwide phenomenon, and because of the reputation of that performance, they've been hesitant to revisit, but now they have a new album and a live show planned that is going to blow everyone away." A release date has yet to be set for the still-untitled Nile Rodgers collaboration.

The notion of Coachella as purely an indie rock and electronic oasis has dissipated in recent years thanks to well-received sets from headliners Jay-Z and Kanye West, and now pop superstar Justin Timberlake will shatter that conception as he brings "sexy back" to the opening night festivities at Empire Polo Field, his first performances in support of his forthcoming album "The 20/20 Experience."

Despite the months of intense speculation among bloggers and members of the fest's official message board, AEG-owned promoter Goldenvoice continually shocks even the most jaded of fans and connected of insiders year after year. Keeping the tradition alive are a headlining performance from the reunited Britpop outfit Blur, along with fellow countrymen The Stone Roses for their first stateside appearance in two decades. Joining them for rare festival appearances are the notoriously reclusive Tom Waits and Swedish electro duo The Knife. Also reuniting are Ben Gibbard's electropop sideproject The Postal Service and 90's shoegazers Slowdive.

Completing Coachella's top tier are breakthroughs Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Modest Mouse, The xx and Phoenix, legends Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and New Order, Trent Reznor's new band How to Destroy Angels and dance sensations Skrillex, Pretty Lights and Bassnectar.

Surprisingly absent are recent chart-toppers Mumford & Sons, but folk-tinged indie pop is more prevalent than ever in 2013, with The Lumineers, Of Monsters and Men, Father John Misty, Ben Howard and Emmy the Great on the bill. Rounding out the rest of the lineup are rising stars including Solange, Alt-J, 2 Chainz, Angel Haze, Sky Ferreira, Bat for Lashes and Odd Future's Earl Sweatshirt.

The majority of passes for Coachella went in a pre-sale last May, but the remaining supply of three-day general admission wristbands will go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. for $349.

I'm grateful for this thread as this has been buried too many times in other threads not dedicated to this.

[|\| | |/|]

Would be stoked to see: Tom Waits, How To Destroy Angels, Daft Punk, Nick Cave and Modest Mouse.

I will be utterly dissapointed if JTimb is a headliner. Not trying to diss him, but shouldn't he be playing a KISS FM show, or maybe Lolla?

Would be stoked to not see Mumford & Sons.

[travelfan]

This is far from real.

[Twattycakes]

If this was real, I would be shitting my pants. Probably also everyone else's pants. Blur AND Stone Roses.

Did you by chance get a screen shot or have it saved some where in your logs?

[doorlock2323]

Someone else posted this on their facebook page (unless its the same person)

[michaele]

wouldn't it list all three headliners though in the sub-title?

[Radtechnique]

lol no. No way the person had time to copy and paste but didn't have time to screen shot.

Someone ban this insufferable douchebag OP.

[TomAz]

You should all go fuck yourselves. Every single one of you.

I am a huge ugly faghat who isn't capable of making intelligent decisions.

edit: this message board sucks so much it thinks characters within a quote do not count towards the 3 character minimum. yeah, A THREE CHARACTER MINIMUM.

this happened to me. i just ended it with an ellipsis

Giannid6: flummoxed by a three character minimum.

great word!

[franticbabe]

NEW ORDER

[Giannid6]

just saying a three character minimum is as useless as a forum post that says "wow" or "lol"

so........if jurassic 5 is really reuniting this year, wouldn't they be included in this article?
just brainstorming. i agree that it's written with a journalistic tinge to it, but nothing that a procrastinating undergrad couldn't whip out in < 1 hr

[Grant]

would be very happy with this if true

[arya.]
