If it's true, sign me up. Stellar…positively stellar. Roxy Music with Brian Eno would be astounding.

looks like a nice lineup

drool

i didn't even hear about the happy mondays reunion.. nice.

yawn

i saw that on another board!

what sucks though, is that i'm always in california in the end of march/beginning of april. so i'm going to have to wait 'till college to go to coachella; but i WILL be there as soon as i can. wetting my pants periodically, because it continues to boggle the mind how they can get so many good bands together at once…

See it as soon as you can. By the time you're 30, you'll realize that 80% of those bands suck.

Wow, only 80%? I thought for sure you'd say all of them.

i'll go just for primal scream

I'm going to try to pick the 20% of the bands that Rhett likes:

Fatboy Slim
Infected Mushroom
Blackalicious
Ladytron
DJ Peretz
Dieselboy
Grooverider
Yesterdayâ??s New Quintet
The White Stripes
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
De La Soul
Uberzone
Eagles of Death Metal
Fatlip
DJ Icey
65 Days of Static

I said SHE'D realize 80% of them suck. I myself would probably say a higher percentage.

However, I did find 10 bands out of about 75 that I do like:

Portishead
Franz Ferdinand
Buzzcocks
Shins
Richard Hawley
Son Volt
Roxy Music
Boards of Canada
Calexico
Wedding Present

Whew, don't let me down there. I was getting worried for a second that something was going wrong with the world, like it was off its axis or something.

Now I can only hope that the rumored lineup is accurate, the early rumors last year were fairly accurate…. but then again it could all be made up this year!

Dates fall on my birthday, again. I should try and go to this.

I think they are going to have Jazzfest in NOLA that weekend as well. Might be an easier trip from DC.

hey; i kind of hope that by the time i'm 30 i will be PLAYING Coachella. that'd be neat.

excellent line up. much better than this year. it is rumored that depeche mode is headliner.

Yahoo News confirmed Depeche Mode as the headliner of one night.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! that Primal Scream, Underworld and The Coral might be rippin' it up on the 9:30 stage in the future!

otherwise Clap Your Hands Say Yawn….

Can certain members of the Happy Mondays even get travel visas? Beside aren't they a bit dated and blotted at this point…

Don't you mean bloated? Then again, Shaun Ryder always WAS bloated. I'm surprised he is still alive. I still wouldn't mind seeing them, but I have a feeling they would be a bit of a trainwreck. But there are plenty of other bands I'd want to see.
