the confirmed list from various sources as of 1/3/08

[kreutz2112]

I hope so.

[microlovebeat]

i don't even consider them "the smashing pumpkins". i consider them "billy corgan".

that bald-headed cunt has no business being at, or anywhere near coachella.




and chris cornell???? solo???? come on.


that list was weak. hopefully there's no validity to it whatsoever.

[kreutz2112]

I agree about that list being weak, except Boredoms.

[microlovebeat]

i'd see a few off that list. certainly not the majority though.

[A((wake))]

Agreed.

Although it isn't the complete lineup, besides the first 3 names the rest of the list is completely missable.

[scoop49er]

any festival i have gone to (around 100) i have always only saw a few initially i wanted to see, but once it gets closer and i get familiar with the bands, i end up wanting to see about half the lineup. so to each his own and its all good.

and the corgan has always been the smashing pumpkins. he is a bit of a c-rag but mellon collie is one of my all-time favorites so i wouldnt mind hearing some songs from that album live.

i never had anything against corgan until he brought the pumpkins back.....him and one other guy. i like a lot of older smashing pumpkins, too.

March 29 Boulder CO - Fox Theatre

God I hope these guys are at coachella. I'm definitly going to the boulder show.

Also here is a list of bands given to me that do not have confirmations but were being thrown around as possible. Most have already been rumored but some are interesting:

REM
Muse
Incubus
Kayne West
Portishead
Chemical Brothers
The Black Crowes
The Smashing Pumpkins
Queens of the stone age
B52's
They might be giants
Feist
The Lovemakers
Pinback
The locust
Rabbit in the moon
The boredoms
Wilco
She wants revenge
Chris Cornell

Now all of them im sure wont be in but I would put money on thinking at least a few will be on the list when announcements are made… we shall see!

Ugh, that's a painfully mediocre list. She Wants Revenge and Incubus? What a joke. Haha, Interpol Wants Revenge is such a pathetic joke that they just painted their first album cover black for their followup.

[scoop49er]

lets just say this: if corgan plays coachella, cool. if not, i wont lose any sleep!

and yeah the gutter twins for sure looks like a lock for coachella. no l.a. date at all. so we shall see.

[theonewiththewurlitzer]

I would like to see the Locust, I missed them when they came to Mexico...

[drowningmatt]

I want the Dulli tripple threat at coachella. Afghan Whigs reunion, The Twilight Singers and The Gutter Twins. Nothing could top that for me.

[summerkid]

Cafe Tacuba being confirmed is great news.

i guess they are a gulity pleasure but ive seen interpol and she wants revenge 2 times each at different festivals and interpol for me is 0-2 and she wants revenge is 2-2. revenge was good both times but interpol made me sleepy!

[scoop49er]

the breeders have put coachella on their tour itinerary so i put them first in my coachella download folder. put cannonball and sanints in there! looking forward to seeing them.

[starrdogg]

Here's one I haven't seen mentioned at all. Sun Kil Moon has a new album out April 1 and Mark Kozelek has shows in Seattle and Portland leading up the festival and in San Francisco on Saturday, April 26th. Could definitely see him being there.

[Botrocker]

That would be awesome^

[scoop49er]

good find there. anything is possible at this point

[DanMonk]

to lazy to weed through six pages... what is the deal with the Verve? was that speculation? i tried searching and didn't find much except that the did some UK shows...

[summerkid]

Some blog who said Scarlett Johanson was playing with JAMC last year and leaked the set times before they came out said the Verve is playing.

[scoop49er]

the verve is one of those that is questionable and we r only going by what the blog said but it was reliable last year so it gets a little cred but we'll see soon enough.

[dontfeedthebird]

If this list says it, I find myself believing it. I think the Verve will be there.

[scoop49er]

i think so too. im not really into them so ill have to refresh my memory on them.

[scoop49er]

hey what about these artists?:

robyn hitchcock
meshell ndegeocello
puscifer
dilinger escape plan

any thoughts on these 4?

[Max Cady]

Puscifer is a solid idea.
Maynard is really behind this album and solo effort by all articles and interviews i've read.
He lives down in the SW near his vineyard.
Tool is on a rest at that time after this long tour.
It makes sense and all the Tool fans probably wouldn't show up like they did two years ago, just some of them

please let this happen. i just have to add that so god knows i want puscifer there.

[karecares]

I'd be pretty psyched to see puscifer and gutter twins. Actually i'm really hoping to see the gutter twins there (so i can save some $$ to go to Coachella)

[dorkfish]

for what it's worth, Les Savy Fav is playing Great American in SF on April 27th.
