Coachella

[kingcrawler]

Stupid way to announce the line-up, they do have The Atomic Bomb Band, though. Good for them.

Yeah I quite liked the idea at first but they're really dragging it out.

[dentalplan]

Yeah I preferred last year's announcement with Flaming Lips bashing bin lids together and singing about pancakes but this one gets people talking a bit more I guess. Also Primus.

Edit: Complete lineup:

[jonodillieono]

Deadmau5 for other stage headliner

[DJL]

Good to see ben folds active, would love to see him at glasto. 6th down on the other in 2008, maybe high up on park?

As well as some of those mentioned previously from other line ups i'd take earth wind and fire and gary clark jr...

[ghandi]

I saw Courtney Barnett last year in the Park, she was tremendous, I hope she plays a sunny middle of the day Other slot myself. Also really looking forward to seeing Alabama Shakes as I missed them last time around and as it seems they are everywhere at the moment it almost seems they are a definite for June

[Brave Sir Robin]

Lots of nice stuff there, would particularly like to see My Morning Jacket, Hurray for the Riff Raff and the fuzzy psych of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard at G please.

The scenes on here if we got those headliners...

[LondonTom]

Slayer for Pyramid headliner please Eavi!

[dentalplan]

Seeing as we were all loving American fest lineups the week before last, this one's meant to be Firefly's latest offering. The proximity of dates doesn't usually rule out as many as you'd think but I'd be a little sceptical of Morrissey as we know how America is the world to him.

Good posting

[tevaburger]

She was incredible in the sun on The Park. Flew by! Would love her to be back on there. Maybe high up in acoustic? Maybe very early on Other?

i agree with the few on here on her Park show. it was just phenomenal...perfect place for her to play. I'd gone up there to see her after the brilliant double that was War on Drugs and Rodrigo y Gabriela on the Pyramid, and she was amazing...right up on the barrier i was too, smallish intimate crowd, but just great.

[Matt42]

The killers and kol at the same festival is a grim prospect...

[dentalplan]

Moz is gonna pull out when he sees Cage The Elephant on the bill.

And Prinze George.

didn't want to make a new thread so considering this has turned in to the American festival thread i'll just stick this here: Pitchfork Fest lineup announced (July 17-19)

http://pitchfork.com/news/58466-wilco-sleater-kinney-chance-the-rapper-headline-pitchfork-music-festival-2015/

would take... almost all of that! don't think i've seen Wilco on a lineup yet so that's exciting. long overdue another appearance

[home to you]

Kurt Vile!

[Tuna]

Nice lineup. Don't know that it really affects us too much though. Great to see Wilco active, I've still never had the pleasure.

[dentalplan]

Looks like Wilco's festival is going ahead this year though so no Glastonbury.

[the wonderwhy]

Dunno what's going on with that Firefly lineup dental posted, but they cancelled their original announcement and still haven't released anything. Kinda strange.

pretty sure that was fake, considering Kings of Leon only have 2 gigs in South America in March planned this year, and The Killers have none for the year, and both would be headlining multiple festivals if they were touring.

added to that, of a few acts that i checked, it stands out on their tour schedule, eg. Modest Mouse finish US dates in late May, then are in Europe in late June, a one-off festival in between, the week before Europe doesn't seem likely.

i'm sure with a bit more digging there's probably acts on that poster that are elsewhere that weekend.

[OBface]

The Sunday line up is near perfect for me...

[shoptildrop]

about the only similarity to Glatonbury is that there's bands and stages there.

V is more like Glastonbury than Coachella is.

at least at V you can bring a drink to a stage and don't have to drink it in designated bar areas...

This would be pants and no.1 reason I wouldn't go, no.2 & 3 would be the poser yanks/celebs and the heat (I would just die in that heat)

[Matt42]

Is it just me or is every US festival this year pretty meh

[dentalplan]

Not this again...

[Mezhyp1]

That's certainly pretty meh, a lot of american festival seem to have the top 3/4 lines absolutely nailed on (not in the case) and then the rest just local waffle and stuff nobody has ever heard of
