Coachella lineup: Roger Waters, Portishead, no MBV
Hey! The Coachella lineup was announced! Coachella organizers went to Mexico City for the press conference announcing the initial lineup.
"The press conference Monday was staged in Mexico as an acknowledgment of the country’s strong fan, artist and press support for Coachella, which was staged for the first time in 1999. This year Austin and Porter TV will be among the Mexican acts playing the festival." (via)
As expected (with the exclusion of Tom Tancredo), everyone is hung up on the headliners. The anticipated percentage of complainers is already screaming and moaning and threatening nobody with threats of skipping the desert fest. Head over to the "Official Whine Bitch and Sob Thread" on the Coachella message boards if you're a sympathizer of the latter.
Here are a few quick thoughts after perusing the initial lineup.
-Bunch of artist repeats from last year, this is not a complaint (Spank Rock, Justice, Hot Chip).
-Hot Chip and Krafterk both playing Saturday...in the tent?
-Roger Waters performing Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety will recreate many hazy high school memories. Fact.
-Do people care about the Verve?
-Jack Johnson's crowd will rival all the competing stages during his time slot. Only snobby hipsters will be surprised.
-Friday: The Breeders, Raconteurs, The National, Animal Collective, Battles, Diplo, Jens Lekman, Vampire Weekend, Dan Deacon, Black Lips
-Saturday: Portishead, Kraftwerk, Death Cab, Rilo Kiley, M.I.A., Hot Chip, Stephen Malkmus, Mark Ronson, Islands, The Teenagers, VHS or Beta, St. Vincent, Akron/Family, Grand Ole Party,
-Sunday: Roger Waters, My Morning Jacket, Gogol Bordello, Justice, Simian Mobile Disco, The Field, Les Savy Fav, The Cool Kids, Holy Fuck, Black Mountain, I'm From Barcelona, Manchester Orchestra
