Coachella & Glastonbury

[Wooderson]

Is there a consensus on this forum that the Chilis would be a catastrophe?

Does that mean you've gone back to doubting Daft Punk, after what you were saying yesterday? (Might have missed something in between the two comments)

I've not 'gone back' on anything, no.

Things might have changed significantly, which is a very different thing.

[dingbat2]

Is it me, or are there a lot of British bands high up on that bill?

[Trebor]

That's what I meant! I thought perhaps yesterday you'd heard they may be playing Coachella and Glasto well but the fact that isn't happening means it was dodgy news you'd heard

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Chilli Peppers. Nah

[Diva Sam]

Maybe they're big in the States....and whilst I love Blur and the Stone Roses, I didnt think they were big in the US either. Are Coachella goers pissed off at this? I'm delighted with it, looks awesome.

you were thinking wrongly.

Aren't Blur and Roses joint headlining the one night? Bit like Pulp and Strokes?

Maybe they're not big enough to headline on their own in the US?

Great line up in my opinion, I mean look how far down Biffy Clyro are, it says it all!

[Mardy]

Is it just me or is that quite an underwhelming line-up? Nobody really breathtaking there.

NOT ENOUGH LEGENDS

It's good in places, The Bad Seeds and Grinderman playing is a good catch.

Think its spread over two weekends aswell which Id find annoying.

It's not just you.

That's a USA equivalent of a very predictable Reading line-up. I have trouble understanding why people who go to the huge diversity that is Glastonbury would have much interest in it.

Which only gets to mean that most Glastonbury goers would be just as happy going to Reading, and they don't partake in very much of what makes Glastonbury different to other fests.

The undercard has some decent stuff on it, but overall previous years have been a lot more interesting. Maybe the increase in other US festivals has dented their capabilities to get bands they wanted? I wonder if Phoenix were bumped up as well after The Rolling Stones said no...

[Wooderson]

It's the same line-up on both weekends.

Some gems in that lineup that I hope make it to Glastonbury

Jurassic 5 (I didnt even know they had reformed, I thought they hated each other)

The Postal Service

Earl

Hot Chip

Wonder if they've had less money to play around with after their awful SS Coachella idea?

[eFestivals]

most people spend half an hour walking through the green fields on the thursday, pointing and laughing a the people with the funny hair like they would at the chimpanzee enclosure at london zoo, then spend the rest of the weekend at the pyramid stage and other stage, and politely queueing to get in the naughty corner on saturday night where they snort some laughing gas

so aside from the naughty corner bit, they could sit in front of Reading's two main stages and see all the same bands (or in reality a slightly altered set of bands, more tailored for the UK).

It's a great line-up if those bands are your thing, but that's always the case with every fest. There's nothing that jumps out as special tho. It's very uninspiring.

Line up seems to be getting slated in America
