I really don't think they would be put on the mainstage again. My bet is that they will be a night time Outdoor act... but I hope they don't close the stage.
Hot Chip has played the last 3 out of 4 years and they are one of the most unlistenable bands out there.
EDIT: Didn't see there was another page. Look like Boourns beat me to the Hot Chip shot.
I can understand this. To be honest, I am a litte skeptical on the Crystal Castles confirmation. But who knows!
As for Gogol, when I talked to Eugene last year, I asked him if they were playing in 2010, and he said that they haven't gotten an offer yet, which he said probably means they arent going to play. When I talked to him yesterday, he said they got the invitation a little while ago and just recently confirmed. He then went on to say they are playing Bonnaroo and, maybe, curating a stage. So, I really don't think he was saying they are playing Coachella just to make me happy.
I just find it funny how we consistently disagree on bands. Hot Chip last week was one of the greatest concerts of my life. I still cant stop thinking about it

I think word of mouth confirmations should be listed as "rumored" until an official confirmation from the band comes out.
Last year the bands that were on the list that were confirmed this way were:
Vampire Weekend
The Cribs
Edward Sharpe
Dirty Projectors
Mew
Baroness
Girls
I think all of those played except for Mew and The Cribs who were initially on the lineup.
The White Stripes 9/18
Wow, yeah, all those word of mouth confirmations were on the initial line up last year.
EDIT: Also, I just thought, when I saw Surfer Blood a couple weeks ago I should have asked them if they were gonna be there. Oh well.
i wouldnt have called Ed Sharpe it if it wasnt true... just like C.C. this year. Im not here to make shit up, its an honest effort to bring something to the boardz.
and for what its worth, Devotchka is a lock.
....and Electric Touch seems to be the new Hot Chip, but worse.
Windish has a Ladytron update
Coachella isn't late spring, and if the tour follows the album release, then I guess they won't be around until after. But on the other hand, available for festivals...Late Spring new album and a tour to follow with Mexico and the Americas avails. Available for festivals and DJ set
Mono has an availability of "FESTIVALS" for 2011...here's hoping!
Asobi Seksu's new album will be titled Fluorescence, according to what appears to be a prematurely posted press release.
Royksopp touring in March. Hmmm.
Lykke Li touring in May.
We Are Scientists seem likely, and Warpaint a given.
