3 acts you really hope play this year

[ciaoq]

im just interested in who everyone wants to play and there are far too many threads on the old board! maybe not super headliner groups just ones you would love to see

for me its:

Arcade Fire
i really love funeral and their new stuff sounds really good, plus they put on an amazing live show.

Soulwax (nite versions)
i saw these guys before in a tent and it was one of the most intense, amazing musical experiences ever. they woud make a brilliant sahara headliner.

MEW
ever since i heard and the glass handed kites i have been addicted to them, i imagine they would put on an incredible show too.

anyway, thats my two cents, whats yours :)

[amyzzz]

Portishead, Air, something with Damon Albarn in it (Blur/Gorillaz/TGTBATQ).

[fatbastard]

The Shins: They've come through a couple of times over the years. This would be an ideal place and environment to see them.

Morrissey: He would be a great presesnce on the main stage.

Paul Weller: Coachella is the place for surprises and reunions. Not only would it be great to see Paul but even better if they had a Jam reunion.

[Bosco]

nice pick with Soulwax! I would like to see them alot too!

but here are mine:

The Chemical Brothers: Im a super fanboy whos never seen them live, new album out sometime this year.

Portishead: A fantasic combination of hip hop, jazz, and blues. Their music is so good its creepy.

A Tribe Called Quest: My favorite Hip Hop group, who I regret missing play live this past September. We got the Jazz, We got the Jazz.

Rage Against The Machine (I know thats 4) got into them after their breakup, a reunion I would love to see.

[Boourns]

Portishead, Jarvis Cocker, Asobi Seksu

[boyalien0]

Portishead, Annuals, Grizzly Bear

[suprefan]

Arcade Fire
Interpol
The Mars Volta
The Dillinger Escape Plan(yeah 4th one but I think this will happen in 2008 since their new album comes out in September)

[summerkid]

Daft Punk

The Arcade Fire

The Roots

[superfiction]

i'd love to see

unkle. with dj shadow and james lavelle
boards of canada. just cuz
basement jaxx. they had a new album out this year...i know its only been two years but its possible

[suprefan]

I think electronic acts returning every couple of years isnt such a bad thing. The tough one is getting good electronic headliners because the rest sort themselves out usually.

[CuervoPH]

The National
The Hold Steady (but they're playing in Baltimore in March, so I can catch them then)
and I liked the Portishead and A Tribe Called Quest mentions above, but I'll throw in Electric President to be different (unless a Talking Heads reunion was somehow possible, which it isn't)

[Alchemy]

1. Jarvis Cocker
2. Damon Albarn
3. Air

[SometimesNJ]

Arcade Fire, Explosions in the Sky, Boards of Canada :thu

[alpharuin]

Arcade Fire, Explosions in the Sky, Boards of Canada :thu

I'm gonna go with these as well.

[dvdestrd]

One act that I can totaly see playing at coachella would most deffinitly be Murder By Death. Their whole old west desert theme would fit in with the fest.

[chunk]

The Thermals, Modest Mouse, Ghostface

[bartelby]

arcade fire (can't see them enough)
radiohead (ditto)
basement jaxx - didn't see them in 2004 and its one of my biggest regrets...we were over at the cure's 'weak' set and looking longingly at all the people going crazy to the jaxx's set...arg

[imart5]

-Interpol
-Doves
-Sasha/Digweed

[knate]

Interpol
Explosions in the Sky
Arcade Fire

I (almost) don't even care who plays. There is always someone I've never heard that blows me away and makes the entire trip worth it.

[Kampy]

I swear I wrote my signature before I saw this thread!

[Kampy]

Interpol
Explosions in the Sky
Arcade Fire

I (almost) don't even care who plays. There is always someone I've never heard that blows me away and makes the entire trip worth it.

excellent suggestions knate, and I'm with you on the not caring part... it's not that I don't "care" it's more like, I trust GV to put something new in front of me that will blow my mind

[sonofhal]

Band Of Horses, Department Of Eagles (which probably won't happen with Grizzly Bear playing already) and I Was A Cub Scout.

[sddoctor]

Justice This hot french duo is mandatory this year...

Soulwax (Nite Versions) It would be ridiculous!

Thom Yorke should be very interesting

[KenMixtape]

Lemon Jelly
Stone Roses
The Smiths

[ciaoq]

I (almost) don't even care who plays. There is always someone I've never heard that blows me away and makes the entire trip worth it.
that was jamie lidell for me last year, did anyone else see him? WOW is all i can say

[bmack86]

My Bloody Valentine
The Arcade Fire
Tom Waits

I would be more excited for Grizzly Bear if I weren't going to be seeing them twice in February

[idrive1life]

Editors Muse Kasabian

[daft$tar]

goldfrapp underworld justice (hopefully uffie will come with them also)

[itsalltoomuch]

bjork

fatboy slim

del, dan and kid for some deltron 3030!!!

[superfiction]

i think there is a good chance for fatboy this year, he has been touring in support of his greatest hits and to my knowledge has yet to do stateside show...

[FriskyDingo77]

THE HIVES- so good, so hard, so loud, so Coachella


THE FLAMING LIPS- the visual/musical spectacle that you wont forget.+ They havent properly headlined a fest yet....nows the time.


THE ORB- I'm not even a big fan but my buddies would quit their jobs and come to Coachella if these guys made a return.+ my buds said there was some issue the year that orb played. like they got cut off or ran out of time er sumthin. but I guess the crowd and the ORB were both visibly pissed! this is a good year to make it up to them and us and you C0VCHE77V

[sighlent]

The Arcade Fire - They've put on one of the most passionate and involved performances I've ever seen from a traditional band.

Radiohead - I don't think this needs explanation

The Smashing Pumpkins - I doubt they'll be ready by then though

Bjork - Cause she evades me everytime she tours and I still haven't seen her.

[josephv909]

interpol

bloc party

carl cox





maybe daft punk again, heard they rocked it last year.

[Alejo]

David Bowie...
Bjork...
Smashing Pumpkins. ..

I never got to see any of them.. So coachella would be a perfect scenario.

[jamesc2929]

Morrissey
Interpol
Midlake

[amdux]

bjork (in the almost-full moon on main stage)

doves (just after sunset on coachella stage)

juliana hatfield (with just a few of us in the small Lounge Tent)

David Bowie

It's really hard to list only three, but there it is ...

___

sub headliner Goldfrapp, Royksopp, The Knife

[AMultitudeOfCasualities]

1. Portishead - like most other folks
2. Beirut - havent seen them yet and i love their record
3. Soul Coughing - its really time they got back together, Mike Doughty solo is kind of lame
:2c

[matt504hrs]

One act that I can totaly see playing at coachella would most deffinitly be Murder By Death. Their whole old west desert theme would fit in with the fest.

i'm really hoping they'll be playing also, although i think it is unlikely :(

so yea my hopes are..

murder by death
bjork

Bjork

Peaches (in the fucking dance tent)

[sithlord]

portishead

[Not Afraid]

I want Justice and Daft Punk to play at the same time - one on each of the two large outdoor stages. ;)

[sacleonard]

juliana hatfield (with just a few of us in the small Lounge Tent)

Can I be invited? I have always wanted to see her in concert.

BTW, here are my three (in no particular order):
1. Interpol (missed them last time)
2. P.J. Harvey (haven't seen her since '95; a perfect fit for Coachella)
3. Morrissey (always wanted to see him live)
(special wish: stellastarr* --- not likely to repeat, but it's my friend's first Coachella, and he's a fan)

[All That I Am]

Radio****

and Regina Spektor

[TheCutestBoyAlive]

The Blood Brothers, Gossip, Help She Can't Swim

[KungFuJoe]

3. Soul Coughing - its really time they got back together, Mike Doughty solo is kind of lame
:2c

I totally agree with you there, but I don't see this happening. Why must the world be deprived of Yuval Gabay & Sebastian Steinberg??

[KenMixtape]

none of the bands I want are getting bleeped out. crap.

[amdux]

reverse psychology. they censor words and phrases we think won't play, but its to get us to think that so we don't expect them to play, but they probably will play even though we think they won't, but if they make us think they won't, maybe they will or maybe they won't, and maybe we think they will, but they might not because they have gone to so much trouble to make us think they won't, but they may have thought of that, which means, they will, but they might have thought of that too, so maybe they won't, so what they are really doing is making us think they will play by making us type in who we think will play, who maybe won't play, because they might have thought of that, and they might have thought of us thinking that, which means we are just rats in a circular maze, or rather, just me
:nono

I'm looking forward most to Regina Spektor, but also Gotan Project.

[Maris]

The Shins: They've come through a couple of times over the years. This would be an ideal place and environment to see them.

Morrissey: He would be a great presesnce on the main stage.

Paul Weller: Coachella is the place for surprises and reunions. Not only would it be great to see Paul but even better if they had a Jam reunion.

MORRISSEY would be bloody grand! He's playing in Pasadena on Feb 1. Are you going to that?

[ciaoq]

they need to add the shins and the sounds oha and also imogen or frou frou wouldn't be bad either

[dinowhore]

[arbouler]

KENT, octopus project, midlake

[dozer]

Eagles of Death Metal
Heavy Trash / Jon SPencer Blues Explosion

And i like the A Tribe Called Quest mention

[Kampy]

THE FLAMING LIPS- the visual/musical spectacle that you wont forget.+ They havent properly headlined a fest yet....nows the time.

Ok, so my three acts . . .

The Shins: I missed them last time through AZ, so I would dig finally seeing them live.

Ben Kweller: I can't believe I haven't seen his name pop up on more lists! He rocks live, and seeing him at Coachella would seriously make me peeeee. . .

BRMC: Coachella would be a perfect place for them - short set list, so no room for them to do the boring "jam" session bit - just straight up rockin'!

That is my .02

[GALfriday89]

1.neutral milk hotel
2.lou reed
3. libertines
4.nouvelle vague
5.morrisey/the smiths

. . . i got really into making my fantasy lineup

[Hillary]

1. Matt Mays
2. Tragically Hip
3. Ben Lee
4. Ben Kweller
5. Ben Harper
6. Tegan and Sara

Ok...I'm done for now.

I'm new to Coachella, so I have a question: Are many bands added to the lineup after they put the posters up on the website?

Thanks

[Melissa]

MOFRO
Modest Mouse
Jack Johnson

[Son of MJK]

Modest Mouse
Puscifer
The Raconteurs

[jcconnors]

I agree with everyone from above. Here's my list of stolen ideas: SMASHING PUMPKINS; MUSE; TENACIOUS D; MODEST MOUSE; MORRISEY; BEIRUT; and the HOLD STEADY.

[el_harderino]

Maroon 5
The White Stripes
Sufjan Stevens

[mojomixup]

Modest Mouse
Jack Johnson
Ben Harper

I'm finding my way down from Canada along the west coast. I hear this is modest mouse's domain, so I would love to fulfill a dream and see them at coachella.

Gogol Bordello Rocks!!!! I hope Eugene sings back up in Know Your Enemy with RATM!!!! That would be funny as hell.

[twosunee]

The White Stripes/ The Raconteurs

Dj Danger Mouse (or Gorrillaz)

Rilo Kiley/The Elected/ Jenny Lewis & the Watson Twins





waahhh why jenny and blake, why arent you in coachellaaaaa arghhh

[Da_Bears]

My Bloody valentine
Echo and The Bunnymen
Cocteau Twins (You owe us Liz)

[renholder]

PREFUSE 73

PORTISHEAD/MASSIVE ATTACK (+ TRICKY)

LAMB OF GOD

[renholder]

puscifer would be awesome. but for the benifit of mankind, i want him to get back into his tool outfit:):):) missed them last year as this is my first going, but would come back again to see them in indio

[dingleb]

Pixies, Haiku d'etat, Hank III, Mike Ness, Beasties

[PassiveTheory]

In terms of my 5 (couldn't pick 3)? I honestly thought would end up playing Coachella, to tell you the truth...

Muse
The Strokes
dredg
The Dresden Dolls
The Shins

Ah well, I'm more than happy with the lineup. However, when it comes to fantasy, fantasy reunions and the like...

New Order
Oingo Boingo
Talking Heads
The Smiths
A Perfect Circle

^ I'm going to get alot of crap for saying APC over Tool, but Tool's coming to my town on their lonesome, so I'm going to get the chance to see them regardless.

[kaeso]

I very deeply desire for broken social scene to play which i am not sure is particularly feasible.

[offyerhead]

Some good picks. I'll echo...

Violent Femmes
Tragically Hip
Love and Rockets

And in the 'would love, but won't happen' category
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Broken Social Scene
Stone Roses (now hoping they'll headline 2008)

[RienOneTexas]

Built to Spill
Daft Punk
Melvins - then we could get a Fantomas set because Mike Patton will already be there

[circles]

kenna
vedera

[Surrealkiller]

1. Bjork...she's everything to me. My number one listened to artist.

2. Paul Van Dyke. Never seen him, I wish I would have paid the $50 I spent on Tiesto, on him.

3. VNV Nation. My favorite industrial/EBM band. However, Assemblage 23 would be nice too.

[nocturnalhabits]

Modest Mouse
Miguel Migs
Shins
