Who Could Realistically Be Added?

[starrdogg]

There have been rumors galore about who might still be added to Coachella, but most have been proven wrong, (Smashing Pumpkins, Daft Punk, Gwen Stefani, The Shins, The Knife, etc) and we're just going to have to wait until after the Grammys on The Police. My question is, what other bands could actually be added to Coachella this year? I really can't think of too many medium-sized bands that could be added who would draw in more people. All I can come up with is Modest Mouse and Queens of the Stone Age. Who else could possibly be added?

I would definitly enjoy one of my favorites QOTSA

[arlyn]

The Sunset Rubdown aren't touring during Coachella.


Edit: CYHSY! didn't suck at all last year.

[gaypalmsprings]

Madonna? Celine Dion? Barry Manilow? Barbra Streisand?

OMG - Madonna was at Coachella last year - what was I thinking?

[devilray223]

I think I heard something about the reunion of the Rat Pack

[Boourns]

Close, it's the brat pack.


IN THE TENT!

And just wait until you hear Mighty Duckman (Emilio Estevez DJ set)

[boyalien0]

I'm sorry, I love CYHSY, but they did indeed suck major balls last year. I still want to see them in a small club setting, however, before I make my final judgment on their abilities as a live band.

[Boourns]

They can't be any more unlistenable than they are on CD

Wrong. Sunset Rubdown is touring with Xiu Xiu, they play Pomona and LA like four days before Coachella.

Also I enjoyed CYHSY last year. And I enjoy them on record. I like the voice.

Wilco is very possible, although I might prefer to see Jeff Tweedy solo.

Wilco live is amazing, but Tweedy solo is unreal.

[GirlFromMars]

The shins and Ash would probably be more possible and realistic.

[C DUB YA]

Shins and Modest Mouse - very possible.

[garrett222]

Barenaked Ladies...nah..best band though..

[garrett222]

Dresden dolls please

[garrett222]

I'd pay an extra 50 bucks to see postal service there!

[celisnet]

I think and i hope:

Wilco
Yo La Tengo
QOTSA
Modest Mouse
Muse
Of Montreal

[Natelevmofuggaz]

Isis.

[Son of MJK]

The Raconteurs and Green Jello

[jtovar21]

Underworld. They have a new album coming out this year. They've been putting out music over the web. They love playing at exotic venues. They put on a stellar show.

[Benis23]

The Shins are impossible cause the will be out of the country.
