Coachella: Prince added to lineup?
How about contrasting the previous post with rumor mongering on a much better music festival? Ok lets. Earlier today, the LA Times blog reported that Prince was added to the Coachella lineup. Pretty awesome right? Well, turns out it was bogus.
*Correction: Brandon K. Phillips, CEO of AEG Live, writes in an email: “Paul Tollett, the head of our Goldenvoice division and our partner in the festival, just called to tell me that the LA Times put on their blog that Prince was playing Coachella. This is absolutely not true… Regardless of what the Times was told, there is no commitment from Prince to play Coachella.” Stay tuned…. this is the Purple One we’re talking about, so anything could happen.(LA Times via Urb)
It should be noted that Goldenvoice parent AEG are organizers of the terrible aforementioned Denver festival. Hey AEG, get the purple one to commit and shape up with Colorado events.
For those not paying attention, here are some artist additions since the initial lineup announcement:
Goldfrapp
Aphex Twin
Serj Tankian (of System of the Down)
Redd Kross
Kate Nash
