Coachella '06

Tickets on sale saturday. Does anybody know anything about the line-up this year?

supposedly getting announced in an hour? (according to threads on their site)

i'm sure it'll be the usual mix of bands people cared about 15-20 years ago and bands people won't care about at all in 2-3 years.

isnt that like 95% of all bands though?

yeah, it is. but you don't have to pay hundreds of dollars and stand in the desert with 40,000 other people to hear most of them.

BookerT is pretty spot on… I only see FF, BP, and MMJ lasting past the three marks if they can deliver an album or two that sets them apart from the pack. Sigur Ros is in it for the long run as they are jam music for indie set. Paul Oakenfeld has been kicking around since the 80s,but where outside the UK does he sell his records/remixes. His name will ensure he gets paid heaps in the US to "spin" whatever they are calling trance that week. The rest gathering lots of dust in cutout bins…

Tool would be pretty cool to see.

but Kosmo, could you pick 80 bands for a 2-day festival that are not only in their prime but bands that will release 10 albums and be adored for decades? there arent even 80 bands like that on earth. maybe say 30. and out of those 30, 10 are probably not touring. 6 probably played last year and probably half of the other 14 will be there this year.

Tricky is also on the bill. and Common, while a rapper, has plenty of staying power….


has beens and never will be's are 90% of the industry.

no but then again i'm not a festival promoter and have little desire to spend any time in the desert or tn with a bunch of people listening to crappy sound.

Isn't that the main reason most people attend such fetes?
