Kid Cudi as a headliner? Hardly.

That wasn't even the most lulzy part of the post.

That wasn't even the most lulzy part of the post.

It was certainly a lazy post.

In a recent Rolling Stone article Andre 3000 said there are no current plans for Outkast and no future plans for Outkast. I think we can eliminate them.


How long does this upcoming Madonna tour have dates until?

Just because there are no future plans for Outkast doesn't totally rule them out, given they didn't say "broken up," but yeah, it's going to be awhile, I can imagine.

With Madonna, though I do not object, you'd think they'd book Gaga first, since she's a bit more current, and I can only imagine, cheaper.

Serious question, is Metallica realistic? I mean, they've played Bonnaroo and are playing Outside Lands and Lollapalooza this summer. Could Coachella be next?

[Phantasma Del Mar]

If Snoop can play "Drop It Like It's Hot" on the polo fields during a headlining performance then I don't see why we can't have Metallica.

[DeadSkin]

^ No, Metallica will not play Coachella. They already had that Metalchella thing last year right.

[ocbruin84]

I like/love Metallica but please, no. Not appropriate.

This is kind of ridiculous how much bias people put into their "arguments". Most of these picks assume that Goldenvoice has to rely on these big reunions or older acts that haven't released any new material in a decade to sell out or keep its position as the premiere west coast festival. "No Doubt (or Tool or Rolling Stones etc.), Daft Punk, and Outkast" with hardly any new material amongst them seems stupid and completely unlike the booking over the last three years (I'd lump Pearl Jam into there but I guess they're still putting out new stuff and it's allegedly relevant?). Why else would they prefer the "lazy" choices of Black Keys or Kings of Leon? Because those groups just released albums before the festival or they're predicted to have some silly Grammy success or they're just on the fucking radio all of the time and people keep talking about them, plus they're cheaper than the old timers and reunion acts I imagine. Most of this speculation seems to completely neglect the demographic that Goldenvoice obviously caters to: 18 to 22 year old Southern Californian radio listeners who only know Daft Punk through Kayne West and couldn't list more than five No Doubt singles. Not saying that No Doubt or Rolling Stones or whoever can never be a headliner, just expect to see at least one current headliner that is almost baffling wildly popular over their latest album

[Mugwog]

So do you think we'll get the "Pump Up Kicks" guys next year frizzle?

[frizzlefry]

I was thinking about Foster The People when I was typing that, I honestly won't be surprised, how can we be surprised over something like that? Anyone who mentioned Black Keys as headliners for 2012 was ridiculed into a corner and felt bad about ever thinking something so stupid but it still happened, so what's to stop Foster The People from headlining with another album?

[ods..]

.... the Black Keys having been around for nearly 10 years already?

[frizzlefry]

So bands have to have a long history to headline? Black Keys setlist had about two or three songs from before Attack And Release

[ods..]

Regardless, they've been around. Foster's first album was 2011. Seems a bit quick to me.

Also... look at the headliners the last 5 years... The earliest headliner (from debut album to headlining spot) I can see is the Killers and that's still 2004-2009.

[frizzlefry]

I agree but Foster The People seem more likely than most of these tired predictions people keep spitting out

[TickleMeElmo]

I say if we're getting a "new" headliner, it's either going to be Phoenix or Mumford & Sons.

[ods..]

Or....... Drake. :/

Tbh, I'm down with sacrificing one or two headliners to meh acts as long as the EDM lineup is leagues better. I don't mind missing a headliner to be close to a better act closing another stage.

This is why I dug the SHM madness happening on Main Stage. Left the fields so clear to move around for Refused/Horrors/Amon etc. (i know Swedish didn't headline)

[Mugwog]

I say if we're getting a "new" headliner, it's either going to be Phoenix or Mumford & Sons.

[concertgoer]

Man that Horrors set was fantastic.

[Coachella Bound]

I agree but Foster The People seem more likely than most of these tired predictions people keep spitting out

wait... your actually trying to argue that Foster the People could headline.....? They have one stupid fucking song. This was at least the Black Keys 3rd time playing Coachella. Not to mention they have an abundance of material, w/ their last two albums being their most popular among the main stream.

you do know Daft Punk and Pearl Jam are currently working on new albums.......??


and if we're getting a new headliner it would be the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

[thelastgreatman]

That's funny, some combination of any two of the following three are what I'd bet on if I had to: Daft, PJ, and Tool. I think Tool's a cinch assuming they're finishing the album in time, Pearl just because frankly they're one of the last contemporary definite headliners that still haven't been there, and Daft just because we all wish it would happen already.

I'm eagerly awaiting the days YYYs will be headliners and it WILL happen at some point, but it doesn't seem like their drawing power is getting there for whatever reason. I don't know why, they're one of the three best bands of the 2000s, they should be more popular.

[rage patton]

Hasn't Maynard said April shows are out of the question because he has to look over his vineyard?

[thelastgreatman]

No fucking clue. But it's conceivable he might be willing to come out for one night to a place like four hours away for a shit ton of money. In 2006 I'm pretty sure they did Coachella and then no other shows for a couple of weeks, right?
