2011 High Contrast had more females than males it seemed like

Civility is back.

A bit rich coming from someone who hangs out with a bunch of 18-19 year old neon clad prostitot sorority skanks who think drum and bass is "fast dubstep".

Wait wait...need to grab some popcorn for this one....

I saw Calyx and Teebee in Houston last month and I'd say it was half half so anyone who says chicks don't like dnb are obviously anti-social fuckwits who spend more time posting on a board than actually going out.

Ordinarily, I think people just say they're going to grab some popcorn and they never really do. But you, I think you're sincere. And I hope you enjoy your popcorn.

Look on the bright side: We still have a little time where we can kid ourselves all that fun. headlining talk was just a bunch of hooey.

Confirmzed: Hooey Lewis and the News

[travelfan]

I've brewed my coffee, read the Wall Street Journal, taken a shower, and am now locked in and ready for another day of blue balls and broken dreams. (I lied about the shower part).

[Aphxtwinin]

soooooo...lineup?

[travelfan]

If that Bloom video turns into Macklemore or Sky Ferreira or something, thus signaling another six days of videos, I will cheat on Coachella with every lower-to-mid-tier festival available out of spite.

[concertgoer]

No lineup until we arrive at the Polo Fields on April 12th.

honestly I would be ok with that, I just want them to tell us wtf is happening.

[gam3g3ni3]

Civility is back.

How is everyone doing this morning?

Primavera went under the 12th hour until its lineup drops. What will it hold?

Vigo won the fitness contest. I hope he didn't burn his carpet dropping that J

[Smasher]

Another day.....

Here is an interesting fact: Human thigh bones are stronger than concrete

[ameeps]

Since the general consensus is that the Stones fell through and they're scrambling to find a 3rd headliner...
How would it make you feel if they just bumped up like Atoms for Peace and Phoenix to coheadline a day.

interesting you mention 18-19 year olds. drum and bass is for that age range and younger. it sounds just about as silly as dubstep.

well done!

All lies. He doesn't even like popcorn.

[gam3g3ni3]

soooooo...lineup?

Lineup is coming 1/29.

Tickets on 2/1

[anonimouse]

"wtf is happening" is the bloom video was the teaser. by this friday KROQ will likely have some bullshit announcement to tune in to the Herp N' Derp show monday morning for details, which will mean coachella will have already made the announcement

lineup monday-tuesday or so, tickets on sale friday. if not next week then the week after. if it's not out by then something is seriously fucked up somewhere OR gv is just changing the game on us again, but more likely the former


EDIT: fucking ninja'd -.-

You're operating under the potentially false assumption that Phoenix is not already a headliner.

[Pea]

Gaslight Anthem has a show in Portland April 16th. Thread back on motherfucking track.

[igotmyxomatosis]

phoenix is such a fucking obvious friday headliner. as far as im concerned the only question is whether or not they stick someone on the headline with them

[malcolmjamalawesome]

I'm still not sold that Friday is a sure bet for "weak headliner day."

I'm not entirely sure this is the general consensus, and not just a desperate rumor. The Stones have said publicly that they were in some form of talks, and that ultimately the discussion came down to money. When were the talks? How intense and long were they? I don't get the impression the Stones were ever slated for the poster, not to mention I would imagine GV are "in talks" with several acts before ultimately settling on three headliners. This could have easily been just a couple days of putting out feelers, or it could have been months of meetings. Regardless, I doubt Goldenvoice would wait so long for such a notoriously demanding and expensive band without having several solid options waiting in the wings.

This is purely speculation, but people have pointed out that one of the bigger pieces of evidence for Dre/Snoop being the Sabbath replacement and not the Black Keys (which I don't buy for a second) is that the Black Keys had a Coachella friendly tour mapped out and ready to go. If you told me that this tour was mapped out more for the benefit of the Arctic Monkeys, a second line act, and that the Black Keys were waiting in the wings as an official backup headliner for this very reason, I would not be shocked. That year we know for a fact that a headliner dropped out, not out of talks, but dropped out of being actually booked for the lineup, and the lineup still came out the earliest it ever has. I highly doubt that they don't have some form of contingency plan in place, especially after 2009, and especially now that they have to financially bank on two weekends.

People have been ridiculing the idea that maybe the lineup is being held because another festival has paid for the right to announce a major act first, yet there is no more concrete evidence for the "no headliner" theory either.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Not to be that guy but isn't it redundant to say "general consensus?"

[Rolwolf]

I hadn't noticed this particular ridiculing (or considered this explanation), but it makes a ton of sense. Let's hope it's Primavera and the line-up drops in 9 hours 20 minutes.

[TomAz]

No lineup until we arrive at the Polo Fields on April 12th.

this gets said once every 2.5 pages. it's getting old.

it's still better than most of the thread, though.
