List of Rumored/not really Confirmed Bands for Coachella 2011

[malcolmjamalawesome]

People seriously trying to talk about Beastie Boys lyrically? Half of their songs are about sandwiches and spelling out their name.

"Joke" band.

[Sanguis]

UNLESS U CAN SITE REAL WEBSITES DO NOT POST SHIT HERE

[TickleMeElmo]

Soooo if you talked to a band member and they confirm, we can't post it here?

Yeah, fuck you.

[rage patton]

I am seeing Gogol Bordello this Friday, and Sunday. I am sure I will talk to one of the band members before or after the shows, and I will ask about Coachella.

EDIT: Also, good to know about Foals. I cant see em here in Vancouver and I was bummed. Also, +1 for my pool.

DOUBLE EDIT: I also don't think Gogol will be there next year... I might as well check though.

Fixed

So Crystal Castles are playing in Ponoma in March.
Does that make them ineligible to play Coachella due to the radius clause?

Awesome. I missed them in LA last wednesday. First time in probably 3-4 years I havent caught them while theyre in town.

No. The company running the festival also runs the venue in Pomona.

nope... few venues (Glass House, Club Nokia) are still allowed.

No. The company running the festival also runs the venue in Pomona.

theyre confirmed by the way... and no i dont have a link. Talked to them when i was in Dallas.

[Darth_Bater]

I've always thought the Get Up Kids would be great, like SDRE last year. Hopefully they'll put them in a tent though, the outdoor theater was way too empty for Sunny Day.

Yeah, considering how f'ing packed it was last year, I was suprised how empty the outdoor theater was for them. I guess all the Thom Yorke fans did not know who they were. Too bad, they put on a great performance.

The Get up Kids would be awesome this year.

Excellent news! I loved their show in Orlando back last month

[Coachella Bound]

i saw C.C. twice this summer (seen um 3 times total now)... though ill say i do have a bit more respect for their material, im just not a fan of the live stuff.... unless (and even that just makes it bearable)

gunna pass on them at Che11a...

[rage patton]

I am pretty stoked about the confirmations thus far. Crystal Castles and Foals? Fuck yeah!

[concertgoer]

Klaxons too!

[RobertGoulet]

Fat Freddy's Drop have received and accepted an offer to play at Coachella this year. They are also playing Outside Lands.

I know they are a small and somewhat inconsequential band, but I figured the info was worth passing along. Unfortunately, I can't say exactly how I know this because I don't want to get the person who told me into trouble. So, take it as you please.

I hope this is true, because this just made my day.

ENDLESS EWE KIN SIGHT REEL WEBSITES DO KNOT POSE SHEET HEAR

[Drewski27]

went to Treasure Island this past weekend. as Kevin Drew finished his crowd surfing, i got the chance to ask him if they planned on doing Coachella. this was his answer: "Um, yeah. I think so, maybe?"

take it as you will.

Dandy Warhols

[rage patton]

So I just talked to Eugene Hutz. He confirmed Gogol will be playing in 2011.

Also, for anyone going to Bonnaroo next year, Gogol will be at Bonnaroo. Not only that though, but they will be currating one of the stages. They will probably grab a couple balkan/fusion bands, and a couple punk bands or something.

[summerkid]

Hopefully they don't put them on the main stage this time.

[Neighborhood Creep]

Can't wait to see Gogol again. I've only caught them at 'Roo 08 and was too far back because I didn't really know who they were at the time.

I can't really handle them outside of a live show though

[danteb]

It'd be cool to see 'em close the outdoor.

[menikmati]

Please tell me the Gogol Bordello thing is a joke? Do they really need to fucking play AGAIN? I mean holy shit, how unoriginal...let's just bring back the Cure, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Justice, and call it a day.

[concertgoer]

I don't know if I will see Gogol again at Coachella but their Lolla aftershow this year was fantastic.
They played in a tiny ass club

god forbid, someone you're not interested in returns. I'm sure that never happens.

[sbessiso]

but seriously, gogol again???

[yeahfontaine]

I feel like I've been complaining about ticket prices a lot lately --Gorillaz, anyone? (since I don't live in the land of suddenly dirt-cheap tix) but I just checked out the Crystal Castles show in Vancouver and tickets are $50 a pop. Fifty...dollars...

[Gribbz]

god forbid, someone you're not interested in returns. I'm sure that never happens.

No kidding. It happens every year. Seems like you guys would be used to it by now. 100% of the bands can't be brand new.

[obzen]

I'm not knocking people's efforts to get an early word on what the undercard will possibly look like but I'm having a hard time believing all of these word of mouth 'confirmations' by that of band members at shows are all that reliable - I doubt these were 100% in years past.
