04/27/08 Sun Indio, CA Coachella- Mojave Tent FIVE PM!

Metric (http://coachella.com/forum/showpost.php?p=564365&postcount=84)

Talked to Joules from Metric after the show(at an Emily Haines DJ set) he said they are playing the outdoor stage @ 6:15... same time as Spiritualized : (




I have also sent messages to some bands on myspace, but none have replied yet. If you run across any official confirmations, post them here. I will update this first post as new information surfaces.

[bballarl]

That set time does not please me. For Spiritualized, I mean. At least I saw them once already.

[M Sparks]

Excellent finds, Rage.

EDIT...Oh, and 6pm in the Mohave for Spiritualized? They are 4th billed! More support for the "silent" Waters set theory.

[orbit]

Spiritualized in the mojave tent at 6pm? Wow, I expected at least outdoor stage. Oh well, I'll try to see them anyway.

[rage patton]

Thanks. I can't take credit for the Spiritualized one though. That was posted in a Spiritualized thread a couple days back. I figured one bands confirmation wasn't enough to start a thread. But a second should be sufficient. Hopefully some of the bands I messaged will get back to me. I doubt it though.

[bobert]

I won't believe anything until I see the official set times. I know the Spiritualized info came from their official website, but why they wouldn't play the main stage (or outdoor theatre) is beyond me.

I appreciate the idea of this thread, but until the set-times are actually posted it's quite useless, at which point it will become completely useless.

[alex gardner]

Excellent finds, Rage.

EDIT...Oh, and 6pm in the Mohave for Spiritualized? They are 4th billed! More support for the "silent" Waters set theory.

dude shut the fuck up with this "theyre 4th billed!" or 9th billed or whatever shit. you don't know what youre talking about.

shut the fuck up. so annoying.

[cansei de ser sexme]

... i know what he is talking about.

[Alchemy]

Spiritualized is going to have a gospel and strings aren't they? Isn't that how Acoustic Mainlines has been going? Does this shit fit in the Mojave?

Well I guess it did for Gnarls, but... I dunno'

An acoustic show next door to the Sahara?

I don't know about this... Either way, I must see them.

[bobert]

As do I. If you don't understand the corellation between the size and appeal of a band, their placement on the poster, and their set time and stage placement, you probably need to think harder (or ask someone who isn't retarded for the correct answer.) Either way, you don't have anything to contribute. "so annoying"

Gnarls was in Gobi, and This is going to be weird.....

[M Sparks]

shut the fuck up. so annoying.

So, I assume you have a long list of top billed acts who have played the Mojave before 7pm? Do tell.

Yes, the billing doesn't mean much when you get down past around 8th or 9th. Yes sometimes a bottom billed act closes a tent or something. But that's not what we're talking about.

Last year in this slot...Circa Survive, Peter Bjorn & John, and CSS.

[ThomThom]

Spiritualized in the Mojave is fucking stupid.

[Alchemy]

Spiritualized would have been a perfect sunset band on the main stage. They SCREAM sunset slot.

[ThomThom]

Spiritualized would have been a perfect sunset band on the main stage. They SCREAM sunset slot.

I was thinking Outdoor.

[rage patton]

I was very surprised by Spiritualized set time too. I actually thought they were going to close the Outdoor theatre.

However, I knew Scars on Broadway would be in the mojave around that time. I am pretty sure I predicted around this somewhere too.

[xbnmx]

[ThomThom]

Mmmm, cookie.

[goatparade]

Alchemy is dead right...spiritualized needs outdoor or main stage sunset...in other news, songs in A & E is pleasing me quite a bit

[Boourns]

I was hoping scars on broadway would conflict with portiswerk, so the other acts i want to see would be less likely to conflict. I thought 5:30 would be a good time for islands in the mojave. Ah, whatever.

Good find, though.

[msklvr]

dude shut the fuck up with this "theyre 4th billed!" or 9th billed or whatever shit. you don't know what youre talking about.

You should be banned from the earth.

[boyalien0]

Good work, rage, I fully approve of this thread. It's been a damn long time since I've said that on this board.

[msklvr]

^
Especially today...

[matsuolost]

fucking beautiful

perfect set time

[Hawkings]

Spiritualized would have been a perfect sunset band on the main stage. They SCREAM sunset slot.

qft, would be very nice

[paulb]

excellent Josh! Its nice knowing what stage artists are playing...way, ahead of time...

[Sushov23]

TIMMY! TIMMY TIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYY

[nbvwes]

knowing it's an acoustic set makes more sense (to me anyway) to have in the mojave (on sunday at least) than outdoor, in a way...

Scars is exactly where i thought... i'm forseeing a Dredg>EnterShakari>Scars on Broadway in the mojave... which probably would've been followed by Turbonegro had they not cancelled...

I thought 5:30 would be a good time for islands in the mojave.
Soooo funny you should say that! i've got The Islands playing across from Scars, but in the Gobi, on my unofficial guess times...

[M Sparks]

... i know what he is talking about.
As do I.
You should be banned from the earth.

Awwww...you guys...(sniff) :)

[msklvr]

We got your back, Sparks!

[captncrzy]

I'm not believing anything until they're officially released. Any new adds (which probably won't happen anyway-more likely, it'll be any more cancellations) will totally fuck with any set time they were given.

[nbvwes]

instead of writing a post speculating on your speculation (like SOME people)^

i've got a tad more info to add...
i wrote a bunch of the bands too, and although some have read the message but did not respond (like Aesop Rock, Black Lips, & The Bees), Midnight Juggernauts wrote and said that they didn't know yet their time slot or stage but were going to be finding out soon...

So it sounds like they're still assigning spots and Spiritualized and Scars on Broadway probably insisted on getting good spots early on that wouldn't conflict with any headliners...

Edit: Slightly Stoopid responded with this: "the line-up for each stage has not been announced yet... we will send out a bulletin when it does get announced." which pretty much means 72-hours prior to show time...

[Boourns]

somebody ask METRIC, plzkthx

[paulb]

I just got a PM back from Metric's facebook and it said

Hi, Thank you for your message about Coachella. We are not 100% sure what time we will be playing, but so far we have been told night time on the Outdoor Theater. Hope that helps.

[Boourns]

awesome! Thanks!

Night, eh? Dear god/allah/satan, plz don't make metric conflict with other night acts like justice and roger waters.

[amyzzz]

oh shit, I hope they don't conflict with gogol or waters.

I also hope Metric withstands the Curse of the Outdoor Theatre.

[Boourns]

indeed. No more 25 minite delays this year would be super.

[woogie846]

Spiritualized in the Mojave? They seemed perfect as a sunset act for either the Outdoor or the Main Stage.

[rage patton]

Great work Paul. Thanks.

So, here is my prediction for the outdoor theatre...
5:10-6:00 Metric --> 6:20-7:20 Gogol --> ?
Then Spiritualized will play at 6:00 in the Mojave. Then, depending on what they do with Roger Waters, Justice will either play before Waters or after Waters in the Sahara. That would avoid the dreaded Justice Vs. Gogol Vs. Waters vs. Metric conflict.

I'm not believing anything until they're officially released. Any new adds (which probably won't happen anyway-more likely, it'll be any more cancellations) will totally fuck with any set time they were given.

Last year we knew Infected Mushroom's set times a month before, and it turned out to be dead right. I think there might have been some other confirmations too.
And just because there are new adds, doesn't neccessarily mean they will mess up the current set times. They could plan around the already confirmed set times.

[paulb]

who knows how its all gonna work out...the main page still says VHS or Beta in the Sahara...so, everything just may be wrong...

[Boourns]

islands on Sunday?

[M Sparks]

islands on Sunday?

Yeah, Rage...Islands has always been on Saturday.

[rage patton]

Yeah, Rage...Islands has always been on Saturday.

Whoops. Totally forgot about that. Nevermind. I just remember Island and Metric have toured together... so I just lumped them into the same day. Nevermind. EDITED.
Either way though, Metric into Gogol would be really fun. I would be all for that.

[darthlaker]

why don't you just wait 2 weeks when they announce the set times! damn kids!

[msklvr]

why don't you just wait 2 weeks when they announce the set times! damn kids!

It's more fun this way. What are you, new?

[Veloco22]

My bet is SOB play around 6ish in the Mojave.
I am pretty sure I predicted around this somewhere too.
i'm pretty bored right now. good call.

[ArcadeParade]

Metric are going to have a Sahara conflict for me. Nothing I would miss their set for, although OT is not where I would like them to be.

[braundiggity]

5:00 doesn't seem like "Night" to me. I really, really will piss everywhere if they conflict with Roger Waters or MMJ. I was truly hoping to get a nice run there leading up to Waters, cause those two are certainly the top two draws of the fest for me.

MMJ --> Love and Rockets --> Waters would disappoint me. I want none of L&R.

[nbvwes]

MMJ --> Love and Rockets --> Waters would disappoint me. I want none of L&R.
then go to a different stage like a normal person and then come back for Waters...

i can guarantee that L&R is playing main stage (most likely right before Waters) ... MMJ may even wind up playing Outdoor (maybe during L&R), especially now that the next band down on the lineup is in the mojave... i predict Gogol to do main stage right before L&R and Waters, even though i'd rather see them doing Outdoor (but i think Metric will be playing there at that time)_

A Gogol Bordello and Metric conflict would kinda suck.

[M Sparks]

MMJ --> Love and Rockets --> Waters would disappoint me. I want none of L&R.

Too bad, cause that's almost a given.

Though I GUESS it's possible L+R and MMJ could conflict on the Main/Outdoor. If they do a Waters silent set. I could see something like this...

MAIN
Waters 9:30- End
MMJ 7:40- 8:30

OUTDOOR
L+R 8:40-9:30
Gogol 7:25-8:15
Metric 6:15-7:05

BUT...in this scenario, it would make more sense to have Spiritualized on the main stage from 6:30-7:20 or something like that. If Spiritualized are really in the Mojave, I would think they'd be a little later.

I wonder if they will just swap L+R and MMJ so L+R play that 6:30 or so slot. It would flow better...I think MMJ is a more sensible lead in to Roger Waters.

I wish I DIDN'T want to see L+R...I have a feeling they are going to be the thing that screws up my schedule no matter where they go. I forsee half sets on Sunday.

[Trick Loves The Kids]

I don't really want to see Gogol Bordello outside

[Boourns]

love and rockets and mmj will definitely be main stage. There's very few acts that day that scream "main stage" and those are two.

Sunday is weird. Even if waters plays unopposed for 2.5 hours, it's still unpredictable. Even with an average of 7 acts per stage, there is enough time for multiple acts to get an hour or so instead of just l&r

I think Sunday might be an experiment. If it goes over well then headliners may play unopposed in the future

[nbvwes]

i agree... Love & Rockets are DEF. playin main stage...

[rage patton]

A Gogol Bordello and Metric conflict would kinda suck.

It really would. But I really don't think its gonna happen. I also really don't think they will be mainstage. I really hope Metric-->Gogol on the outdoor theatre happens. That would be perfect. But then... who would close the outdoor Theatre? Chromeo? I would normally say both MMJ and L&R are mainstage acts this year, but with how weird Sunday is, I wouldn't be surprised if L&R played the outdoor theatre.

[M Sparks]

I think Sunday might be an experiment. If it goes over well then headliners may play unopposed in the future

OR...leading to a time when only 3-days are sold, and there is a single "headliner" on Sunday night with a silent slot, and "lesser" subheadliners the other two nights. Which, let's be honest, is the case this year.

I don't know how well it would go down every night. You would have to have THREE massive headliners. Otherwise, people who aren't into the headliners are going to get pissed. But I think you can do it the last night. If you're not into the headliner, you're going to be exhausted by then and it's a chance to get out of the parking lot early.

[Blinken]

I don't think it will completley silent on Sunday. Probably someone still DJing in the Sahara, to accomedate all the ravers.

[nbvwes]

OR...leading to a time when only 3-days are sold, and there is a single "headliner" on Sunday night with a silent slot, and "lesser" subheadliners the other two nights.

and last year... (and arguably the year before)

[beavington]

i have a feeling mmj will be sunset on mainstage.

me too.

I know, I've just gotten lucky a few times the last few years with mainstages that I want to hang out at for a few acts in a row, thus ensuring I'm near the front for the headliner (which, frankly, is worth it). Not expecting that to happen this year, just sayin' I was holding out hope.

[rage patton]

and last year... (and arguably the year before)

Umm... whether you like them or not, Red Hot Chili Peppers are most definately a headlining band. Bjork, is arguable though. And 2006 had Tool and Depeche Mode. Definately 2 healining quality bands. No arguing that.

[braundiggity]

Yeah, I'd really been pulling for some sort of Spiritualized --> MMJ --> RW transition. If Gogol, MMJ, Metric, and Spiritualized are all playing around that sunset time (6-8pm), I'll be pissed.

I also agree that MMJ makes more sense as the RW lead in. I'd love that.

[nbvwes]

Umm... whether you like them or not, Red Hot Chili Peppers are most definately a headlining band. Bjork, is arguable though. And 2006 had Tool and Depeche Mode. Definately 2 healining quality bands. No arguing that.

i wasn't saying they weren't headline material, i was saying that Rage was the definite headliner of the fest as a whole, while RHCP and Bjork were really only headliners of their days... and i said 'arguably' about Tool cause i knew someone would bring up Depeche Mode...

[fiopadp7791]

To take this conversation in a different direction-

JOHN DIGWEED'S MYSPACE- Has him and Sasha scheduled for Sat the 26th. It's billed as a 2 hour set, sorta... because he has it listed for him playing 7PM and 8PM? I interpret that as a 2 hour set (me like math...). Anyway, even if that date or time doesn't turn out to be true, they're definately not playing Fri, because they got a gig in San Fran that night.

Sorry if this info is already well-known. It just seems relevant to this thread.

How could you possibly say that one of the biggest bands in the world (TOOL) wasn't a headliner...

I mean...

seriously...

[artisticcreator]

I heard that they maybe changing Roger Waters to saturday to give him more time at the end of the evening!

Don't be retarded...see how many bands are on Saturday???

This single post is dumber than every single April Fool's post combined...

MMJ right into Waters is the only way to go. If they relagate Spiritualized to one of the tents, it will be an epic mis-step. Here's hoping that Goldenvoice won't be that foolish.

[Blinken]

i want Gogol in a tent, but i will settle for outdoor

[braundiggity]

Gogol's gonna be outdoor. Totally.

[bmack86]

Rage, as you get confirms, could you update the first post? That would be helpful

RHCP sold out sat single days, in the first few days they went on sale. BJORK is big in the indie scene. So all 3 where definite headliners for their respective days. GIVE IT UP.

[digitaldragon03]

You just said the same thing he was trying to portray.

[PassiveTheory]

I really don't think that L&R are going to be relegated to the Outdoor Theatre... Although, what we might see happen is L&R play the Main Stage at sunset, lead into My Morning Jacket, and then Roger Waters... Just saying.

[nbvwes]

exactly!

um, yes & no...

Rage Against The Machine single days sold out first... RHCP soon after... and I believe there were Bjork single day tickets available until nearly the day of show...

[Sushov23]

I said that, RHCP sold out in the FIRST FEW DAYS. So RHCP is as big as any band out there. So 2 BIG headliners in 07

[nbvwes]

I said that, RHCP sold out in the FIRST FEW DAYS. So RHCP is as big as any band out there. So 2 BIG headliners in 07

if you think (after the single day tickets were sold out) that all 3-day passes sold out too, as fast as they did, because everyone was rushing to see RHCP and not Rage, then i can't help you...

[Sushov23]

what i'm saying is that it was primarily because of BOTH BANDS. amongst other bands like Arcade Fire, Bjork, Interpol, Arctic Monkeys, Manu Chao, and so on.

I will for sure. But I don't really think that Metric message and the John Digweed myspace really count as confirmations. I have messaged a couple bands on myspace, but they haven't replied. So as of right now, Spiritualized and Scars on Broadway are the only confirmations we have.

[PassiveTheory]

Sushov and n... however you spell your goddamned SN, stop fucking arguing over meaningless shit and fucking argue over set times instead...

[jazzz]

That set time does not please me. For Spiritualized, I mean. At least I saw them once already.

but have you seen a Jason Pierce VS. Richard Ashcroft with Kate being the prize? Boxing has been added!! LOL

[PassiveTheory]

I think he's over it... It's been a few years.

[jazzz]

I doubt it. Unless he free'd his mind with Julian Cope

Well, the times (if they are accurate) are news to me.

But I don't think anyone has ever suggested they were playing Friday. They've been listed on Saturday since day one.

My bet on the set times...the 7pm is accurate. Because when you enter a date in Myspace, 8pm is the default time. So it may have been entered when they were originally booked. And now that they have their 7pm set time, someone entered it again without erasing the old one.

That actually makes perfect sense, to get the Sahara headliner out of the way early before Portiswerk.

[M Sparks]

I heard that they maybe changing Roger Waters to saturday to give him more time at the end of the evening!

BEST POST EVER!

Hey dum dum...Learn how to say what you mean...otherwise don't imply things that aren't true...

that was a response to an earlier post... maybe you should read IT...

i was saying that Tool was the headliner for the entire fest that year, he countered that Depeche Mode was just as big, and then you went off on me claiming i didn't think Tool was headliner material... i didn't IMPLY anything, you INFERED from reading part of a statement out of context, if you had read what i was responding to (i.e. this thread in it's entirety) then you would know exactly what i was saying, instead of assuming...

you're dumb.

That's a lot of 3 dollar words...

[n3glect]

I really wonder why people keep trying to put Love and Rockets on the Outdoor Stage. They'll be playing the main stage before Roger Waters.

They've sold far more records than My Morning Jacket. They're the sole "reunion" band this year. This is a one-off show for them. There's no tour coming. There's no album coming.

Coachella has had a standing offer on the table for them for years (at least since 04), and why would they have taken it this year? Simple. To open for Waters.

Plan your set times accordingly.

[clumsy342]

I want Love and Rockets to play before Waters so I can have a break between MMJ and Waters. Maybe check out someone else I wanna see.

I think MMJ straight into Roger Waters might even bore me.

[Boourns]

I will plan my schedule to avoid both mmj and l&r

[Coachellian]

when were set times announced last year?

[sin213]

3 days before, I believe...

[Coachellian]

thanks sin!

[PanasonicYouth]

It gets dark here at the end of April around 7:45, so the sunset band won't be until around then.

[rage patton]

when were set times announced last year?

It was anounced April 23rd last year. So if they stay on schedule with last year, they will be released April 21st this year.

[nbvwes]

I really wonder why people keep trying to put Love and Rockets on the Outdoor Stage. They'll be playing the main stage before Roger Waters..

yeah, and it always happens to be by people who don't give a shit about L&R too (or MMJ fans)...

That's a lot of 3 dollar words...

at least i know now why you're illiterate...

[TOOLRAGE]

I've bought my tixs at the door everytime the poster says sold out. I end up paying less and you always find someone trying to get rid of their tix. Don't believe that soldout bs.

They've sold far more records than My Morning Jacket. They're the sole "reunion" band this year. This is a one-off show for them. There's no tour coming. There's no album coming.

Coachella has had a standing offer on the table for them for years (at least since 04), and why would they have taken it this year? Simple. To open for Waters.

Plan your set times accordingly.

Or they would have taken it this year because they put Bauhaus to rest again. And thus decided to be Love & Rockets again.

[M Sparks]

yeah, and it always happens to be by people who don't give a shit about L&R too (or MMJ fans)...

Actually, I was one of the people who theorized that...and I've been one of the main L+R cheerleaders around here.

Love and Rockets will be on the mainstage, but there's no guarantee they will be the lead in for Waters. They could easily be given the same time-slot that Crowded House had last year - 2 sets before the headliner. And last I checked, Portishead just returned from hiatus and are playing a one-off show (in the U.S. anyways), so Love and Rockets aren't exclusive in that department.

[M Sparks]

Or they would have taken it this year because they put Bauhaus to rest again. And thus decided to be Love & Rockets again.

Bauhaus released their first new album since 1983, titled Go Away White on March 3rd, 2008. This marks the end of the band and there will be no tour to support the album. Drummer Kevin Haskins said in an interview that they "were getting along really well, but there was an incident that occurred." As a result, "some of us just felt that we didn't want to carry on as a working unit". In an interview with SuicideGirls, bassist David J said about the breakup "You have a test tube, and you pour in one chemical, and you pour in another chemical, and something happens. It starts to bubble. Pour in another chemical, and it starts to bubble a bit more. You pour in a fourth chemical, and it bubbles really violently, and then explodes. That's my answer".

If Bauhaus is standing on a stage, and Peter Murphy explodes, all of the sudden you're in the middle of a Love & Rockets "reunion".

[bballarl]

[nbvwes]

Actually, I was one of the people who theorized that...and I've been one of the main L+R cheerleaders around here.

what reasons do you think L&R would be good on Outdoor (or not a good lead-in for Waters)? i see none...


...and Love & Rockets >>> Bauhaus

[Boourns]

Second-billed acts always play the outdoor, especially reunions. Especially on a day with 34 or so acts.

Oh wait...

[nbvwes]

like MMJ would make a better lead-in to Waters? give me a break! from the time they announced the lineup i thought L&R should go on before Waters, even before they announced they were both playing Sun



EDIT: ohh, Karista Smith has confirmed that she's playing daytime on the Palamino Stage (the mojave) at Stagecoach...
not that it's Coach relevant, but maybe it means they're now assigning stage & settimes and more leaks should be forthcoming over the weekend...

[Edmontonian]

It gets dark here at the end of April around 7:45, so the sunset band won't be until around then.

Ya I remember last year the sun was beginning to set during the end of Kings of Leon (6:15-7:05) but the beginning of their set was full on heat, but the most beautiful part was actually between them before Arcade Fire started (7:30-8:40), it was actually almost dark by the time they took the stage at 7:30 so I would mark it at 6:50-7:30 sunset.

[clumsy342]

Jesus and Mary Chain were on the Main last year (before Bjork+Interpol).
Sonic Youth was on the Outdoor right before Bjork.

And... Love and Rockets is really really cheesy as far as I can tell.
Exhibit A:
-ALRLZQf42s
Exhibit B:
oay9dCPptf4

Do they have any songs that aren't really lame?

[Boourns]

I like "so alive" but everything else I have heard was boring. Oh well.

[bballarl]

Cheesy? Lame? No. No no no.

You can't fault them for having made music videos in the 80s. Download Express and Earth Sun Moon.

[mvanwinkle]

ya they do nothing for me. nor does jamc

[beavington]

what i'm saying is that it was primarily because of BOTH BANDS. amongst other bands like Arcade Fire, Bjork, Interpol, Arctic Monkeys, Manu Chao, and so on.


i cant help but to interject how retarded you sound here.
end of point, coachella sold out last year completely because of rage.
end of story no matter my feelings on the band, its the truth.
they pulled single day tickets also, i am sure because of this fact.
Its simple.

the rage against the machine reunion has probably been the biggest thing coachella has had in their stable.

Yes bigger than daft punk. (but probably not too much)

[M Sparks]

Do they have any songs that aren't really lame?
Yes, "Exhibit B" rules. "Exhibit A" is cheesy but catchy...however, it's a cover song...Motown I think... so not a good example. Pretty much all their videos were awful, though...

Try this..."Dog End Of A Day Gone By." One of my favorites, and the video isn't horribly embarrassing, just dull. If you don't like this...fuck it, you just don't like them.

nATXtu7pv9o

More good stuff... "The Light"...try just listening...seriously, their videos were awful.

[msklvr]

No new tale to tell.

[n3glect]

Unfortunately, there isn't much out there of their late 90's output, which (imo) was stellar.

I'd check out their album Sweet F.A. which had a very dark rock element, with the occasional nod to their more electronic side... which is evidenced on their dance/dub album Lift, and their ambient album Hot Trip to Heaven.

Unfortunately, none of their singles from the 80s have held up well over time.. and these days are my least favorite of the catalog.

Friday and Saturday were strong enough on their own, so you are saying if it had been crap on friday and sat, Coachella would have still sold out? No last year all 3 days kicked ass no matter how you look at it, and that is what caused the sell out. RAGE caused the sunday sell out by themselves, but the 3 days was because of the whole package.

[rage patton]

So, has anyone tried to message any bands? If so, has any gotten back to them? I am guessing not...

[Boourns]

I messaged Metric a few weeks ago. I'll try Sia and Sons & Daughters, I guess. Sunday being so mysterious and all.

[rage patton]

Bands are ususally good at getting back to me on myspace. I sent messags to Justice, Holy Fuck, Gogol Bordello and Battles. Myspace shows that Holy Fuck has read my message.. but no reply. The rest haven't even read it. Perhaps I shouldn't have made the title of my messages "Coachella"...

[clumsy342]

I sent a message to Sunset Rubdown's tour manager.
He said, vey plainly, "no".

I started a thread, but I don't think anyone looked at it.

Anyhow.. I'm just going to wait until the set times are up.
My "set time guessing thing" was fun while it lasted though.
But it ended badly.

[paulb]

we'll find out in 2 weeks...just chill out.

that's EXACTLY what I said lol... i don't know why these people have their heads up their asses

and yes, 'No New Tale To Tell' & 'So Alive' kick-ass!

and yeah, RagePatton, i wrote about 12-15 of the acts, and i already posted the little info i received back... (notably, that most of the bands haven't yet been informed of their spot yet, but said they would post a bulletin as soon as they knew)

[rage patton]

Thanks nbv. I guess either most of the bands honestly don't know, or they do know, but they were told strictly NOT to tell anyone. Oh well... just over 2 weeks now.

[NoizeSelektor]

its maddening. i must know

[nbvwes]

Thanks nbv. I guess either most of the bands honestly don't know, or they do know, but they were told strictly NOT to tell anyone. Oh well... just over 2 weeks now.

i think 'certain' bands have... the ones you confirmed on here make sense too... if i was the manager for a new start-up band like Scars i'd want to secure a good spot for my band, if i was a band member of say, Architecture in Helsinki or Brett Dennen, i think it would matter much less...

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

I won't believe anything until I see the official set times. I know the Spiritualized info came from their official website, but why they wouldn't play the main stage (or outdoor theatre) is beyond me.

I appreciate the idea of this thread, but until the set-times are actually posted it's quite useless, at which point it will become completely useless.

same reason gorgol didn't last year....cant fit them all on.

[frozen pilgrim]

kind of off topic, but previous conclusive posts on the subject were kind of poorly formatted, so:

last years' coachella sold out because of RATM.
single day tickets were only available for a limited time, and sunday went FIRST.
then, three day passes, then sat and friday tickets were re-released.
what this means, is that rage fans snapped up the sunday single day tickets, then the 3 days (to max out sunday attendance), and THEN to even out attendance (somewhat) over the three days, single day passes for day 1 and 2 went back on sale.

I went for the whole thing last year, but for every fifth or so person in the camp I talked to, rage's reunion was the #1 reason for attending.

[beavington]

Friday and Saturday were strong enough on their own, so you are saying if it had been crap on friday and sat, Coachella would have still sold out? No last year all 3 days kicked ass no matter how you look at it, and that is what caused the sell out. RAGE caused the sunday sell out by themselves, but the 3 days was because of the whole package.

no i am sorry but you are wrong.
the reason it sold out was because of rage. because people could not buy sunday single tickets so they bought the fucking three passes.

i dont think chili peppers on name alone couldve sold it out, maybe saturday but the festival sold out completely because of rage. People wanted the sunday rtickets so they bought all three days because it was cheaper buying a three day pass then buying single sunday tickest on ebay.

[Blinken]

I know Rage was the number one reason i went, same goes for my brother and his two friends. Originally they were only going to go Sunday, but those sold out too fast so we all decided to go all 3 days instead. I wanted to see alot of the other bands, but Rage put it over the top. I had been wanting to go for a couple years before, but never pulled the triger. All that said i was going to go this year no matter what because of the great time i had last year.

[rage patton]

^ Wow Blinken. That is my EXACT same story. No joke.

You're wrong. 3-day passes sold out because ticketbrokers were buying them up in mass because single day sunday passes were selling for around $200. Do the math, you buy a 3-day pass for $300, sell the Sunday ticket for $200, and you've still got 2 single day passes and 2/3 of your expenses recouped. That's also why Coachella tickets became a buyers market in the weeks leading up to the event.

[DELTRON30]

my buddies went to a yacht party with Sasha & Digweed at the WMC. I asked them to ask one of them when they go on, they said "7 & 8". That means no conflict with Kraftwerk WOO! Above & Beyond will probably close the sahara?

[menikmati]

My plan is S&D > Portishead > Kraftwerk (I'll have to miss DCFC).

Something like:

S&D: 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Portishead: 9:10pm - 10:30pm
Kraftwerk: 10:55pm - 12:15am or thereabout

I had (almost) the same feeling. I've been wanting to go for years, but never quite justified it in my head (its too hot, its too much of drive, its too expensive, i have to take time off school/work, etc, etc). I made plenty of excuses. It wasn't until I, 1. had plenty of money saved up, 2. heard rumors of Rage reuniting, 3. had a good enough job that i could take time off, that i finally stopped making excuses and went.


I didn't try to buy a sunday ticket only though, i bought a 3 day pass because friday and saturday "also looked interesting," and i'm glad i did, i had a blast the whole weekend.

i started making plans on going this year before the lineups were announced, and im also glad i did, this year looks solid and i know im going to have fun.

The set times have to be close to finished, if not already, right? I mean, they have to be sent to the graphic designer and then to the printer. How long does it take to print 200,000 little booklets?

It takes a few days to print those things, I'd imagine. I've had to work with a few print shops in my day. I guess it's possible GV has an internal printer though. In any case, I'd guess the set times will be out by the end of the week. At least, I'm hoping. I've got a big empty Excel timetable I need to fill.

[msklvr]

Um, I know I'll probably be in trouble for using myspace as a confirmed set time, but Vas Defrens myspace, which is their only website at all, says Sunday Mojave Tent playing at 12:30, which is not a default time. I would tend to believe that.

[MassiveChemicalPunk]

Ok so I did a little research and this were the only things I could find*:
(Sorry if some of these have already been posted)

The Bird and the Bee 2:00pm
Cafe Tacuba 6:00pm
Kraftwerk 10:00pm
Sharon Jones 6:00pm
Dimitri From Paris 3:00pm
Autolux 5:00pm (Outdoor Theater)
Swervedriver ??? (Mojave Tent)

*All sources are from their MySpace and I tried to make sure they were not the default times.

[rage patton]

Holy shit Massive... that is awesome! Thank you! Kraftwerk at 10:00 pm? That doesn't sound to good to me... How would Prince play after that? I am deathy afraid this means Kraftwerk in the Sahara.
Sharon Jones at 6 though? That sounds awesome! If Battles plays right before or right after her, that would avoid my worst fear for night times conflicts.
Thanks for looking around too Matt.

I hadn't seen you thread.

Besides, some of the set times you have are the default ones like:
Vampire Weekend
Minus the Bear
Cold War Kids

and I'm pretty sure Chromeo is NOT playing at 2:00pm

[Genedefekt]

8pm is default on myspace I think, not 1pm.

[kitt kat]

so basically....saturday is going to rape me.

if animal collective and kraftwerk conflict, i'll die.

or, if mgmt and animal collective...

or if....well you get the idea.

i think my brain would go into system overload and explode before i could choose who to miss.

[MassiveChemicalPunk]

8pm is default on myspace I think, not 1pm.

But if you check, a couple of the bands have 1pm as the festival starting time. Besides, it doenst make any sense for Vampire Weekend (so hyped up) and Chromeo (billed high on Sunday) to be that early.

And you know it.

[Genedefekt]

True, but it doesn't invalidate the entire list... also there are some other ones you didn't catch.

[ghettojournalist]

hey rage, just trying to assuage any worries. Kraftwerk was announced to play on the main stage from the beginning. while some things have changed, i don't think that GV would screw over a repeat, classic act, so i think that Kraftwerk could play after Prince.

[shakermaker113]

did we accumulate any more confirmed set times in the 6 pages of thread?

[Todfilm]

Or better yet, Prince being backed up by Kraftwork. How cool would that be? I just hope they don't do something stupid like put Prince on in the Sahrara opposite Portishead or Kraftwork.

5pm for swervedriver and 6pm for spiritualized? Obviously these are rounded up/down.

Sharon Jones at 6 though?

idk why everyone assumes Prince will go on last... i'm not sayin he won't but neither portishead nor kraftwerk should be playing while the sun's still up...

although whoever said Death Cab on Outdoor during Kraftwerk makes ALOT of sense!

Autolux (http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.showDetails&Band_Show_ID=26015073&friendid=3953700)



Swervedriver (www.myspace.com/swervedriver)




I have also sent messages to some bands on myspace, but none have replied yet. If you run across any official confirmations, post them here. I will update this first post as new information surfaces.

Fuck. Here goes the first conflict. Swervedriver and Autolux both at 5pm on Sunday? These two bands share fan bases big time. Conflicts are going to suck balls.

[betao]

prince 10:20-midnight
kraftwerk 830-940pm
portishead 7pm-810pm
rilo kiley 550-640pm

While this is acceptable for me, I really want Kraftwerk to close out the night. That would be amazing for me.

[Boourns]

According to seachanges, Metric will play the Outdoor at 6:15. The same time as Spiritualized. FUCK!

[Xenocide]

btw, it appears that Stagecoach is giving The Eagles a silent field the week after Coach... if that helps further the evidence that Roger Waters may also...

metric during spiritualized kinda sux... not as bad as it's gonna get real soon though... unless MMJ is playing after Metric on Outdoor, they'll be playing during Metric/Spiritualized on main... or overlapping at the very least...

[Boourns]

mmj is on the main before l&r. I know they arent a real subheadliner, but there arent any other alternatives that day.

I think gogol will be on the outdoor, to accommodate crowd surfing better than the main would, maybe after metric but hopefully not at the same time as justice. I doubt that will happen, though, because it would be stupid to put the 2 acts everyone was pissed over missing last year against each other. Maybe at acl.

[Jakewc151]

Autolux would be better in the tent, but beggars can't be choosers.

[roberto73]

Now I'm really glad I'm seeing Spiritualized in Santa Barbara on Wednesday. One less Sunday conflict.

[menikmati]

I'm not sure I buy that spiritualized set time. Swerverdriver say they have the mojave at 5:00pm. I assume they'll play 50 mins, meaning with stage set up, the next act wouldn't really play until about 6:20-6:30. Maybe that's when Spiritualized will play, but I'm not convinced.

Thanks Boourns/Seachanges. I will count that as a confirmation.

I think the outdoor theatre is definately going to go Autolux-->Metric-->Gogol. Which would be awesome. I want to see all 3. I am guessing Gogol are probably going to start at 7:30 and play for either 50 minutes or an hour. Bad news... I anticipate Justice playing in the Sahara at 8:00ish. Perhaps we will get lucky, and they wont start till 8:30ish though.

And yeah, it seems like Sunday already has big conflicts. Autolux vs. Swervedriver and Spiritualized vs. Metric.

if swervedriver goes on at 4:55 and spiritualized goes on at 6:10, it would explain calling it 5 & 6 and still have the normal 25 min. set change... rarely do bands start exactly at the top of the hour, especially in the mojave...

[bballarl]

Autolux and Swervedriver? Really? Really? Fuck. Not even remotely cool.

[amyzzz]

Autolux and Swervedriver? Really? Really? Fuck. Not even remotely cool.
Really. DO NOT PUT TWO SHOEGAZER ACTS AGAINST EACH OTHER!! My God.

[amyzzz]

I think I'd pick Autolux, but I dunno. I haven't seen Swervedriver in...what? 17 years or some shit? I can't remember when I saw them live. Maybe it's been 13 or 14 years.

[menikmati]

uh why would someone pick Autolux over Swervedriver? C'mon now...

[bmack86]

I hope that isn't the case. They overlap fanbases so much

[Cdubby]

just say no to autolux and swervedriver conflict gv

[orbit]

wow. Metric vs Spiritualized and Autolux vs Swervedriver? Not good.

[nbvwes]

just the beginning... just the beginning...


just wait for gogol vs. love & rockets vs. justice... or aphex twin vs. the verve... or the 7-9 acts during Prince...

[GnarVee]

DREDG
10:00 AM ON SATURDAY, APRIL 26, POLO FIELDS


http://dredg.fuzz.com/viewEvent?id=7662


is it me or is 10 wayyyyy too early?

jk...thanks event info link!

Doors open at 11am all 3 days
Show ends midnight all 3 days


so it is wrong.

[rage patton]

They probably mean Dredg at 10pm... which would make sense. That means they would likely conflict with PrincePortisWerk.

[Blinken]

Well fuck i hope it is not 10pm

[msklvr]

FUCK! All the speculation is hurting my brain. I'm just going to go to sleep and set my alarm for Monday evening. Most of my packing and shopping is done. The rest of the ritual all stems from the set times.

[rage patton]

Im calling it. Derdg 10pm-10:50 --> Enter Shakari 11:10-close in either the Mojave or the Gobi.

[nbvwes]

i think enter shakari BEFORE dredg (and after scars on broadway) would make more sense...

i hope that prince is on @ 10pm now... if dredg is on during portishead or kraftwerk, that's REALLY going to fuck my shit up...


btw, the ONLY confirmation regarding set times/stages i've heard Dani come clean on is that Datarock would NOT be in the Sahara (which was pretty fucking obvious i thought, but there seemed to be an excess of threads on the topic)... so i guess we wasted one free PF confirmation :(

i KNOW they know, i just wish they'd spill already... damn you PF, damn you...

[rage patton]

Scars on Broadway are at 5:30. Dredg and Enter Shakari will not be playing right after them. No matter what time they play, both those bands will be conflicting with PrincePortisWerk.

[nbvwes]

i didn't say RIGHT after scars on broadway, i was building the theme of the hardcore mojave saturday night... idk, turbonegro WOULD'VE been in between them, hell throw Flogging Molly in there (although i'd rather see them during the day)...

as long as dredg/enter shakari plays during Prince and not portishead or kraftwerk i don't care... and they would both make a good prince conflict since everyone on here sux prince's cock and shits all over both enter shakari and dredg...

[rage patton]

My bet is Flogging Molly at gonna be at the outdoor theatre around 5. Give or take an hour.

[PassiveTheory]

Well... I WAS kinda looking forward to seeing Dredg w/o a hardcore crowd... But oh well.

[TheWatcher]

My bet is Flogging Molly at gonna be at the outdoor theatre around 5. Give or take an hour.

I'd rather see them in the Mojave. But, would it be too crowded?

[nbvwes]

My bet is Flogging Molly at gonna be at the outdoor theatre around 5. Give or take an hour.

that's what i was thinking/hoping too...

Well... I WAS kinda looking forward to seeing Dredg w/o a hardcore crowd... But oh well.

who knows? they may not even be on the same stage... i think it's ALOT of wishful thinking on the part of the shakari/dredg haters... although i still say they'd make a good conflict choice for prince, less bitching, i'd think...

[Entermanns]

Grand Ole Party just confirmed they are playing the Outdoor Stage, Sunday at 1:55 PM.

[MassiveChemicalPunk]

Outdoor Stage?
I like that :)
I little early though. It seems that I'll have to be there early on Sunday.

[cansei de ser sexme]

can anyone compile a total of confirmed set times please??
i do not really have time to go through 8 pgs.
i can wait until monday if i really must...

[thestripe]

uh why would someone pick Autolux over Swervedriver? C'mon now...

Autolux's new stuff is supposed to be pretty good. Um..but you are right.

[boarderwoozel3]

ditto for the consolidated set time request

And are they really coming out on Monday? That would be most excellent.

[Coachella Bound]

Grand Ole Party just confirmed they are playing the Outdoor Stage, Sunday at 1:55 PM.

Deffinetly my first stop on sunday. Theyve become one of my favoite bands!

[clumsy342]

hmm.
Totally saw them playing the Gobi.
what do I know, right?

[cansei de ser sexme]

ditto for the consolidated set time request

And are they really coming out on Monday? That would be most excellent.

'tis the speculation. i assume tuesday

[paulb]

check the 1st post.

[cansei de ser sexme]

Ah yes. Makes sense, doesnt it. tee hee

[rage patton]

Grand Ole Party just confirmed they are playing the Outdoor Stage, Sunday at 1:55 PM.

Source? Link it too me and I will add it to the first post.

[inutil]

alright, here's my guess for Sat. http://alucinante.net/guessing-sat.jpg

[suprefan]

Hmm I guess I either stay for Metric after Autolux, or go to spiritualized, decisons decisions. But Metric at the very begining of sunset sounds good though.


Edit: how the hell does Enter shikari get Sahara tent and you drop Kavinsky in the mojave?


Cafe Tavuba is OUTDOOR THEATRE, its been stated.

[inutil]

Cafe Tavuba is OUTDOOR THEATRE, its been stated.

where was this stated? did not catch that. I went with the initial statement by GV.

[rage patton]

Dwight Yoakam in the Gobi? Jeeze...

[Foucault]

alright, here's my guess for Sat. http://alucinante.net/guessing-sat.jpg

Not bad, but no way will Hot Chip and Kraftwerk overlap.

[cansei de ser sexme]

animal collective has to be earlier.

[TickleMeElmo]

Now the Vas Defrans myspace says they are playing at 12:30 on Sunday on the Outdoor Theatre which also links to this. (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=28968667664)

[nationocean]

alright, here's my guess for Sat. http://alucinante.net/guessing-sat.jpg

Enter Shikari will not play the sahara.. Kavinsky will.

ur silly.

[bballarl]

Autolux's new stuff is supposed to be pretty good. Um..but you are right.

Autolux killed it when they saw them a couple months back. They sounded fantastic. The new tunes were the rockness. I will be extremely disappointed if they conflict with Swervedriver (who would probably win out because I have already seen Autolux).

[whynotsmile99]

Enter Shikari will not play the sahara.. Kavinsky will.

ur silly.

fuck saturday is going to make me sad. Theres no way I'm going to be able to see Hot Chip, Flogging Molly, Devotchka, Prince, Portishead and maybe a bit of Kraftwerk

[nbvwes]

that's the worst predicition i've ever seen... there are soo many things wrong with it, i won't even get into it...

except to say that you've ignored ALL the confirmed times/stage assignments and your idea of who goes on which stage appears to be completely random... at best.

[Weatherman]

Junkie XL's Myspace now says that he's playing from 7-8PM in the Sahara.

[Boourns]

Now the Vas Defrans myspace says they are playing at 12:30 on Sunday on the Outdoor Theatre which also links to this. (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=28968667664)

This time and the Vas DeFrans time make the Metric and Autolux times impossible.

For example:
Vas DeFrans 12:30-1:20
Grand Ole Party 1:55-2:45
??? 3:10-4:00
??? 4:25-4:35
Autolux 5:00-5:50
Metric 6:15-7:05

I wonder which is correct.

ANYWAY, speaking of set times guesses, here's my latest act of boredom. Passive and I collaborated on set times guesses a while back and this week I've made a bunch of changes, primarily due to all the additions and cancellas. Before anyone bitches about how some band is playing the "wrong stage/time", their name was probably just stuck there as a placeholder because the main focus was obviously the acts I'm more familiar with, as opposed to those I didn't care enough to learn about, so...
Friday:

Saturday:
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y200/frankatcoachella/sat.jpg
Sunday:
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y200/frankatcoachella/sun.jpg

Brutal conflicts are unavoidable. Hell, we already have Metric vs Spiritualized, apparently.

[rage patton]

Boourns... you are genius.

Friday the only act I would be really bummed about missing would be dan le sac. Saturday, I would be bummed about missing carbon/silicon and Sunday I would be incredibly bummed about missing Holy Fuck. Other then that... genius.

EDIT: Ouch. Man Man vs Flogging Molly would kill me.
RE-EDIT: I have a solution. Switch Flogging Molly and Cold War Kid around. It would make more sense anyways.
