3 acts you really hope play this year

[ciaoq]

im just interested in who everyone wants to play and there are far too many threads on the old board! maybe not super headliner groups just ones you would love to see

for me its:

Arcade Fire
i really love funeral and their new stuff sounds really good, plus they put on an amazing live show.

Soulwax (nite versions)
i saw these guys before in a tent and it was one of the most intense, amazing musical experiences ever. they woud make a brilliant sahara headliner.

MEW
ever since i heard and the glass handed kites i have been addicted to them, i imagine they would put on an incredible show too.

anyway, thats my two cents, whats yours

[amyzzz]

Portishead, Air, something with Damon Albarn in it (Blur/Gorillaz/TGTBATQ).

[fatbastard]

The Shins: They've come through a couple of times over the years. This would be an ideal place and environment to see them.

Morrissey: He would be a great presesnce on the main stage.

Paul Weller: Coachella is the place for surprises and reunions. Not only would it be great to see Paul but even better if they had a Jam reunion.

[Bosco]

nice pick with Soulwax! I would like to see them alot too!

but here are mine:

The Chemical Brothers: Im a super fanboy whos never seen them live, new album out sometime this year.

Portishead: A fantasic combination of hip hop, jazz, and blues. Their music is so good its creepy.

A Tribe Called Quest: My favorite Hip Hop group, who I regret missing play live this past September. We got the Jazz, We got the Jazz.

Rage Against The Machine (I know thats 4) got into them after their breakup, a reunion I would love to see.

[Boourns]

Portishead, Jarvis Cocker, Asobi Seksu

[boyalien0]

Portishead, Annuals, Grizzly Bear

[suprefan]

Arcade Fire
Interpol
The Mars Volta
The Dillinger Escape Plan(yeah 4th one but I think this will happen in 2008 since their new album comes out in September)

[summerkid]

Daft Punk

The Arcade Fire

The Roots

[superfiction]

i'd love to see

unkle. with dj shadow and james lavelle
boards of canada. just cuz
basement jaxx. they had a new album out this year...i know its only been two years but its possible

[suprefan]

I think electronic acts returning every couple of years isnt such a bad thing. The tough one is getting good electronic headliners because the rest sort themselves out usually.

[CuervoPH]

The National
The Hold Steady (but they're playing in Baltimore in March, so I can catch them then)
and I liked the Portishead and A Tribe Called Quest mentions above, but I'll throw in Electric President to be different (unless a Talking Heads reunion was somehow possible, which it isn't)

[Alchemy]

1. Jarvis Cocker
2. Damon Albarn
3. Air

[SometimesNJ]

Arcade Fire, Explosions in the Sky, Boards of Canada

[alpharuin]

Arcade Fire, Explosions in the Sky, Boards of Canada

I'm gonna go with these as well.

[dvdestrd]

One act that I can totaly see playing at coachella would most deffinitly be Murder By Death. Their whole old west desert theme would fit in with the fest.

[chunk]

The Thermals, Modest Mouse, Ghostface

[bartelby]

arcade fire (can't see them enough)
radiohead (ditto)
basement jaxx - didn't see them in 2004 and its one of my biggest regrets...we were over at the cure's 'weak' set and looking longingly at all the people going crazy to the jaxx's set...arg

[imart5]

-Interpol
-Doves
-Sasha/Digweed

[knate]

Interpol
Explosions in the Sky
Arcade Fire

I (almost) don't even care who plays. There is always someone I've never heard that blows me away and makes the entire trip worth it.

[Kampy]

I swear I wrote my signature before I saw this thread!

[Kampy]

Interpol
Explosions in the Sky
Arcade Fire

excellent suggestions knate, and I'm with you on the not caring part... it's not that I don't "care" it's more like, I trust GV to put something new in front of me that will blow my mind

[sonofhal]

Band Of Horses, Department Of Eagles (which probably won't happen with Grizzly Bear playing already) and I Was A Cub Scout.

[sddoctor]

Justice This hot french duo is mandatory this year...

Soulwax (Nite Versions) It would be ridiculous!

Thom Yorke should be very interesting

[KenMixtape]

Lemon Jelly
Stone Roses
The Smiths

[ciaoq]

that was jamie lidell for me last year, did anyone else see him? WOW is all i can say

[bmack86]

My Bloody Valentine
The Arcade Fire
Tom Waits

I would be more excited for Grizzly Bear if I weren't going to be seeing them twice in February

[idrive1life]

Editors Muse Kasabian

[daft$tar]

goldfrapp underworld justice (hopefully uffie will come with them also)

[itsalltoomuch]

bjork

fatboy slim

del, dan and kid for some deltron 3030!!!

[superfiction]

i think there is a good chance for fatboy this year, he has been touring in support of his greatest hits and to my knowledge has yet to do stateside show...
