Guess that means 2 years in a row playing Coachella!

Why oh why Terminal 5? It's the worst venue!

I'm so irritated! I got tickets to their Highline show, but can't go because I now have to go away that weekend. ARGH!

hellz yeah!

DC, sell me that ticket please.

i hope they play coachella again. last year was a disappointment. not their fault at all, just that they played too early in the day (too hot) and in the wrong tent (too small and crowded) it was impossible to get in. they definitely would have fit into the Sahara's lineup.

whaaa?? hot chip at coachella last year was awesome, great performance. no chk chk chk, but still great. theyve gotten bigger since, so theyll probably play the sahara.

Boo for no Toronto date!

Speaking of Coachella. I have confirmed through 100% reliable source who books bands for Goldenvoice that the Talking Heads are reforming and headlinging with REM, Beastie Boys, Stone Temple Pilots and the Kinks.

Can u say weak lineup...lineup is better suited for Bonnaroo.

if i was 40 and trying to convince my kids that i was once cool, that'd be the greatest lineup ever.

It just wouldn't be a proper BrooklynVegan comment threat without someone bitching about Terminal 5, now would it?

That is the first rumor I have heard for headliners that could actually make sense. Even though I havent heard anything solid about Talking Heads.
Does anybody else have info on this years Coachella? Minus Portishead, MBV and the Verve?

a shitty room deserves bitching. it just wouldn't be BV without someone defending such lousy space. close already.

Talking Heads are not reforming. Not in this lifetime anyway. Anon 2:30 is trying to start a rumour. Nice try jerkoff.

Fuck yourself anon 3:16. I hate the Talking Heads so why would I start that? David Byrne is a washed up artsy twat.

My Bloody Valentine will unfortunately not be performing because Kevin Shields does not feel confident in returning to the stage that soon. Those previously announced dates will be the first. However, Coachella 2008 will have more than enough reunions: The Verve, Swervedriver, The Breeders, a No Doubt headlining set, and most surprisingly: Pulp.

Goldenvoice went through great lengths to get Jarvis Cocker to play Coachella last year and Cocker was so impressed with the vibe and weather at the festival that Paul Tollett was able to talk him into bringing the band back together for a one-off performance in 2008.

Gwen Stefani wanted to perform in the dance tent last year, but for various reasons it did not work out, but the Empire Polo Fields have been chosen as the first venue for the reunion of So-Cal favorites No Doubt. Gwen's contributions to the upcoming album are expected to begin next month.

Wow...worst lineup in years. Think im going to Sasquatch or Lollapalooza this year. Sucks cause I love the Polo grounds.

I know for a fact that the line up that "The Calculator" just posted is complete bullshit.....it's not official until its on www.coachella.com, that's been proven year after year...and the only thing on there now is last years line up... nice try peoples..

HEY DC

can i get that ticket !!! ??
asDASDASD

for hot chip please

Worst lineup? I know, right? Seeing R.E.M., Portishead, the Verve, Chemical Bros, Underworld, Pulp, Sufjan Stevens, and so on all in one weekend would suck. No Doubt and Kanye West as headliners sucks, maybe.

you would actually have more fun seeing sufjan stevens than no doubt?? hipster snobbery at its worst.

r.e.m. is likely not headlining, as its doubtful they could sell that many tickets.

Fuck No Doubt...

I saw No Doubt years ago and it was not that fun. Maybe if Gwen didn't sound so terrible live it would have been decent.

I think I love their new publicity shots too much

that lineup is speculation, but INFORMED speculation.
I know a large number of the bands listed have offers, but have not confirmed yet, so there are no guarantees, but the calculator def knows what he's talking about.

"you would actually have more fun seeing sufjan stevens than no doubt?? hipster snobbery at its worst."

. . .ironic hipster snubbery at its worst . . .

saying that no doubt is better than sufjan is like saying pb+j is better than filet mignon (or your vegan equivalent). no doubt were good when i was a kid and my mom packed my lunch.

>>>that lineup is speculation, but INFORMED speculation.

well if you list enough current popular bands you are bound to be right on some of them...but I know for a fact that a few of the bands on the list never received offers and wont be playing..

Nice try The Calculator.

At least get the headliners correct if you're going to make a long winded lying post. None of your headliners are a British band...

I hurd talking heads, coldplay and beastie boys are headlining. And its blur playing, not pulp. Portishead and my bloody valentine will play too.

okayyyy it's up on ticketmaster - who's got the presale password?

Silly as it may be, that's a bit closer to the truth BROTHER.

So who is Monklish and why does he "know" everything, but won't ever specify what he "knows"?

Does anybody know the presale password for Hot Chip @ Terminal 5????????

I saw these guys at Bonnaroo and need to see them again. The Highline Shows sold out so quickly.

i'll tell you after i get tickets LOL

Quotation marks give "words" an added smarminess.

I'm not going to reveal the lineup, because the it comes out in the next few weeks, and everyone has the patience to wait a few weeks. I'll probably continue to tease it, though, because I possess privilege, and most people enjoy the excitement of "knowing", whereas most Coachella fans seem to enjoy the excitement of guessing about "what could be". Some foolish person decided to post an overly long-winded bunch of lies pretending to be in my position. I don't want people to get really excited about a grouping of headliners that are essentially incorrect. I'll say something based on fact without being revealing, but with enough truth to show the rest of readers that the fool's post was based on nothing more than his own creativity.

being vague without ever revealing a single band is an effective way to give the impression of being in the know, but minus the risk of being wrong. but its no fun, so spill the beans! if your post ends up correct, you will become a god among us, and if not, then it's not your fault your sources were inaccurate!

i doub anybody actually knows the whole lineup except for mister tollett.

dunno if you got the presale code yet but it's "madeinmn"

it was madeinny

if anyone has an extra for the highline show, i'll gladly trade a 1/26 ticket to the dj shadow/cut chemist show at irving.

thanks.

Lineup?

No that's a fake lineup. It's actually decently correct, though, but with some noticeable errors though: Justice isn't playing. Islands aren't playing. Xiu Xiu isn't playing. The headliners are mostly wrong. It's missing a big electronic name. They're thinking too young with the headliners. No Doubt might have signed on, but they're not headlining a night. Portishead will be there, but they're not headlining a night (unless they're moved to Friday). Where's Lupe Fiasco? The Raconteurs? People really think the Black Kids will there?

way for everyone to believe the fake coachella lineup that has been circulating for about 2 months now

Ooh. Who are the correct headliners and the missing big electronic name? Will My Bloody Valentine and Pulp and the Verve be playing?

no and yes.

to clarify:

MBV: no
Pulp: no
Verve: yes
Portishead: yes (though you didn't ask)

Oh hey look... I said "They're thinking too young with the headliners."

and a few days later:

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/buzzbands/2008/01/death-cab-for-c.html

Thanx. No My Bloody Valentine or Pulp would be a gigantic let down! Plz tell me theres a surprise reunion to make up for that.

Veteran acts? The Kinks and REM?

no, not the Kinks.

Is that a yes for R.E.M.? What about love and rockets and prince?

Rob from a comic strip's idiot brother.

How about the video to Hot Chip's video for "Ready for the floor"? to get back to the original topic ;-)

Hey? How about the "Ready for the floor" music video?
