2013 Lineup Confirmation/Rumors Thread

[gswhooper]

And? You saying GV booked Dre the day before the announcement?

No, more like 4 months before Coachella. December at the latest. You're assuming they wanted the Pac hologram the minute they were booked.

[PDXdev]

Yeah, it's "fucking obvious" that the filler was the band who stuck Coachella in the middle of a multi-city tour, not the one-off from the guy who hasn't performed in years, because a lot of people misread an article about how long it took to put the hologram together.

Yes, Fucktard. You think GV planned to bring back Black Keys, who was the first act of the second line on Friday in 2011, to headline in 2012? You have got to be fucking kidding me. You really believe the day before the lineup came out when Sabbath cancelled, GV just randomly thought to call Dr Dre? Someone who people have been waiting to drop a new album or make an apperence in YEARS?

[mrhand]

The problem is that you consider yourself some sort of arbiter of what everyone else is allowed to talk about. STFU.

I don't care what the topic of the circle jerk is. I called out people parading opinion as fact.

As a regular purveyor of that kind of bullshit, I can see why you're offended.

[Drewski27]

They originally had other plans to tour with the hologram before Coachella. those plans never came to fruition.

[Mugwog]

Yeah, because you think the "several" and "4" months are in series and not in parallel, probably because the article was written by someone half-literate.

MTV lost its credibility with after Kurt Loder, Kennedy and Matt Pinfield left

[mrhand]

I knew about the Black Keys back in September. They were the first headliner signed.

Oh look it's a Variety reporter with a confirmed fact.

Wait, my bad. It's just some dipshit with a cat avatar.

SOURCE OR GTFO.

[Drewski27]

wheres your source asshole?

i know a few people who work for various artist managements throughout the LA and bay area

[gswhooper]

As they say at Indian Wells.

Game. Set. Match.

(rap headliner in tact for 3 straight years. will it be 4?)

[Phantasma Del Mar]

No. Outkast is the only option left and that ain't happinin.

[Mugwog]

Wu Tang is it with animatronic ODB

[mrhand]

The claim was made that the Sabbath replacement was confirmed. Confirmed means by a reputable media outlet, not your imaginary friends.

No one ever disputed that there are lots of opinions about the issue. Adding yours does nothing to resolve the claim in dispute.

SOURCE OR GTFO.

[Drewski27]

If you want your source other than what anyone here has to say then go fucking call Goldenvoice and ask them.

[Drewski27]

CHANGING SUBJECTS:\

Who is more likely to headline, Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Phoenix?

[Phantasma Del Mar]

Phoenix granted their next album is as big a hit as their last. Yeah Yeah Yeahs will never headline, they lost any momentum they had.

[MotorAve]

I just have a hard time understanding why they would book Black Keys to headline when they had just sub-headlined the year before.

Yes, Fucktard. You think GV planned to bring back Black Keys, who was the first act of the second line on Friday in 2011, to headline in 2012? You have got to be fucking kidding me. You really believe the day before the lineup came out when Sabbath cancelled, GV just randomly thought to call Dr Dre? Someone who people have been waiting to drop a new album or make an apperence in YEARS?

They likely booked TBK for the same reason they've booked Muse, RHCP and the Killers for next year - they're an arena-filling act (who were blowing up at the time, cause for back to back appearances) popular with the kiddies who fill the Polo Fields, not old men who hadn't filled anything but blunts for a over a decade like Dre and Snoop.

Fucktards.

[heart cooks brain]

1. Who actually cares?
2. Please, go on.

[Mugwog]

So with that being said, what about Green Day? The kids seem to love Green Day

[MotorAve]

Maybe they're committed to another festival next year.

[TallGuyCM]

You really believe the day before the lineup came out when Sabbath cancelled, GV just randomly thought to call Dr Dre?

Maybe not randomly, but actually yes, that's exactly what happened.

[RodFed1993]

Green day would be the first headliner in my four years of Coachella attendance that I would have absolutely zero interest in seeing.

[FEELS]

My friend saw Divine Fits the other day and after the show they indeed confirmed that they will be there this year.

[mrhand]

Yeah, because you think the "several" and "4" months are in series and not in parallel, probably because the article was written by someone half-literate.

"Several" and "4 months" were clearly not in parallel.

WSJ Article dated April 16, 2012: Dr. Dre and his production team first approached Digital Domain a year ago to discuss the possibility of creating a virtual Tupac. They began work in earnest on the Coachella performance around four months ago.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...109842490.html

Approached Digital Domain in April 2011. Began work in December 2011. But yeah, they got the call from Coachella in January 2012. Makes a lot of fucking sense.

Yeah, it does make a lot of sense. Read your own fucking article. Dre approached them with the notion of doing something some day in the future, maybe a tour, then they kicked into gear when he got the Coachella call.

4 months ago from April 16 is December 16. 3.5 weeks before the lineup.

"Several months of planning and 4 months of work" means planning, then work. If he had intended it to be parallel, he'd have said "4 months of planning and work."

English. Learn it sometime.

My better genes and more advanced training have taught me to recognize and exploit ambiguities in language that lesser minds such as yours fail at. Absent a "then" or "followed by," one such ambiguity exists here. In this case, the planning and work probably were largely in series rather than parallel, but your need to believe that you're right is leading you past the key distinction - the planning only became work about four months before Coachella. What else happened four months before Coachella? Oh yeah, Motherfucking D.R.E. got the Motherfucking C.A.L.L.! What, you think they had to wait for the lineup to become public to actually start working? Also, no one said four full months. January, February, March, and April are four different months. People estimate and exaggerate. Get over it.

I'll give you credit for being hilarious. And fucking stupid.

If I start a job on January 31st and I finish it on Feb 1st, that's "2 months of work." Got it, dumbshit.

So in your own deluded world of dipshittery, "several months of planning AND 4 months of work" took place between the first week of January and the second week of April, or as its known to the non-retarded, 3 months and 2 weeks.

4 months before Coachella is December 16. According to the legend, DRE got the call just a few days before the lineup dropped on January 9th. Something no add up.

Please tell me more about the training that brought this genius about. You do realize what the word "and" means, no?

[WhyTheLongFace]

LOL at people focusing on the 4 months of creation and not several months of planning.

Like Paul T said "Hey Dr. Dre we need a headliner, can you help us out?"

"Well I was planning on selling headphones and just counting my money but fuck it why not? Hey Snoop we should do that holagram thing we were talking about. Yeah it takes exactly 4 months and there's a risk it might not be done in time and I am a perfectionist who hasn't put out an album in 13 years but fuck it why not? It's not like we can say no and Coachella would allow us to play next year cause we might not be in demand even though we haven't toured in forever and all of our guests would bring little publicity that Coachella wouldn't deem worth it."


But yeah Dre & Snoop replaced BS not the band that subheadlined and only got a little bigger just to come back.

[nathanfairchild]

Has anyone noticed the Coachella sized gap in Muse's tour dates?
