Omnibus 2013 Headliner Speculation and Argument Thread

[ocbruin84]

I never ever ever ever ever ever want to see Adele at Coachella. Blech.

[Miroir Noir]

And New Order would be billed lower now than they were in 2005, too. I read an interview with Alan from Neon Indian talking about seeing them at Ultra this year with less than 1,000 people. Granted, that's an Ultra crowd, but a Hook-less New Order (no pun intended) simply isn't going to be a huge draw in 2013.

Signed,
a huge New Order fan.

Also, seeing the influence recent bands have reaped, I'm throwing this out on a limb: Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers or Michael McDonald. Yes, I'm kind of serious too.

Apparently I need to take Aja out of the cd case in my car.

[captncrzy]

New Order was a sub in 05, Jen.

Oh, shit. Really?

And I agree, a Hookless new order wouldn't be much of a draw.

Why was their experience bad? I've never heard the story. No one ever talks about their performance . . . the only 2006 stories I ever hear are about Daft Punk and Madonna.

I have a bit of inside info. Just that they didn't enjoy it. Heard a rumor that it was just all the dust and dirt and heat, but I honestly think it's because they're not a good American festival band. They don't like to change their setlists (Dave can't handle it) and their tours (much like Radiohead's) focus on their new material and not just the hits or their old bodies of work. Their performance was just ok....they really didn't seem to be having a good time (they were having a hard time engaging the crowd, etc.) The next night in Vegas was hands down the best DM show I ever saw.

New Order was a sub in 05, Jen.

And didn't play Temptation.

[guedita]

Jim Croce.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

I don't know shit about fuck but here are my predictions:

Velvet Underground (indie cred/geezer cred)
Daft Punk (main stream act)
Outkast (hip hop act)

[stellarpoet22]

My predictions

Friday - Incubus - deadmau5 closes main

Saturday - Pearl jam

Sunday - Outkast (reunion) Daft punk closes festival

Please approve, or shit on my prediction

[stellarpoet22]

Please please NO foo fighters

[stellarpoet22]

My Morning Jacket
Foo Fighters
Beastie Boys

I'd be down

Fuck that, you must be a white frat boy

[the goat]

Stone Roses
Stone Roses
Stone Roses

I'd go both weekends.

[wompwomp]

I don't think Foo Fighters would be a good fit next year due to what Miror Noir said -- they've played everywhere these last couple of years, and are a second-tier headliner at Outside Lands. How would that look for Coachella to have an act that's not even among the top 3 names at a mid-tier fest like OSL one year be one of their top 3 acts the following year? That being said, I would like for them to return eventually since I'm not going to pay what it would cost to see them on their own.
.

A second tier headliner? Come on, now you're just being purposefully obtuse. They are listed behind Stevie Wonder, Neil Young and Metallica.

[Phunkevil]

Foo Fighters - generic bro rock.

Stone Roses

This is hilariious. Nobody gives a fuck about Stone Roses in America. Not enough to headline anyway.

It says "dont think" you fool.

[wompwomp]

It says "dont think" you fool.

You want to give that interaction another read over? Because I'm pretty sure I interpreted what they said correctly. That the Foo Fighters would be a poor headliner because they are a "second tier" headliner at Outside Lands.

I think that is a ridiculous statement because there are very, very few acts that would be listed above Stevie Wonder, Neil Young and Metallica.

[DeadSkin]

other people:
Trash Talk
The Flaming Lips
Skrillex
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
Metric

No.

This would make me sell my ticket

[Miroir Noir]

And didn't play Temptation.

What a horrible setlist; out of the eleven songs they played, Coachella got four Waiting for the Sirens' Call songs (these were new songs at the time, but still) and three Joy Division covers:

Atmosphere
Waiting for the Sirens' Call
Regret
Transmission
Hey Now What You Doing
Krafty
Jetstream
Bizarre Love Triangle
Love Will Tear Us Apart
Crystal
Blue Monday

[Rattelwolfa]

It wasn't just that they're a second-tier headliner at OSL but that they've played just about every festival but Coachella the last couple of years. (I know, I know, they haven't played Bonnaroo either. I was exaggerating.) Lolla last year, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage festival this week, Bamboozle next month (another mid-tier festival), then OSL in August, on top of having just toured the country extensively last fall. I noted that I'd like to see them, I just don't think they'd be a good booking next year due to how unoriginal it would be. Like Black Keys this year, although they at least had a new album to promote. (Of course, if Foos have a new album to promote as well, that could be a different story.) But yeah, if Coachella is going to use another festival's headliner next year, at least have the decency to make it one of that festival's top 3. Staying with OSL, let's do Stevie Wonder or Neil Young if we're recycling one of their acts.

[Rattelwolfa]

we can all do with out GreenDay!!

[TomAz]

You've posted this same thing in three different threads now. I would now like to invite you to shut the fuck up.

[Cheddar's Cousin]

Judging from what I saw last night, I'm thinking Goodie Mob is getting the Sunday night spot.

Beasties = not touring or performing any time soon.

NWA = If Ice Cube, Yella, and MC Ren were not joining Dre on stage this year with all endless and dull line-up of guest MCs that joined his set his year, it isn't going to happen, period. Plus, I want to say that they said that the NWA mini-set performed at during the Up In Smoke tour was the last time that a "reunion" was going to take place.

Public Enemy = Played in 2009, on the outdoor. Would love to see them back, but I don't think they'll be headlining anytime soon.

EPMD = That be great for all the true hip-hop fans, but so would Company Flow, and judging by their crowd turn-out this year... yeah, I dunno about this.

[nationocean]

here goes 8 full months of talking about outkast and daft punk...

at least we don't get the radiohead talk this year.

[stellarpoet22]

Friday - Incubus - deadmau5 closes main

Saturday - Pearl jam

Sunday - Outkast (reunion) Daft punk closes festival

[Kropladop]

here goes 8 full months of talking about outkast and daft punk...

Its okay, in about 4-6 months people will have talked about it so much that it in everybody's mind it will be fact and we will all live in blissful denial.

[Coachella Bound]

I heard something through the grapevine during weekend 2...

i think he's trying to tell us something.....

[tyles]

I wouldn't mind the Foo Fighters so long as the counterprograming was good. It's not like I saw Kings of Leon, The Black Keys, or Jay-Z these past couple of years...

[tyles]

i think he's trying to tell us something.....

I hope he tells us, so we can at least have one "obvious" headliner from the start, like we did with Arcade Fire in 2011.
