The demand is so high that some fans have decided to even auction off their pre-reserved hotel rooms and their places at the official camping sites.

the Radiohead curse isnt over maybe
RADIOHEAD PULL SHOW
RADIOHEAD have cancelled their final Australian show at MELBOURNEâ??s ROD LAVER ARENA after lead singer THOM YORKE was diagnosed with a severe throat infection.
A joint statement released by promoters Michael Chugg Entertainment and Radioheadâ??s manager says Yorke developed a "significant loss of vocal quality" during the bandâ??s first Melbourne show on Monday (April 26) and was "barely able to finish the concert.".
At the show the previous night, the singer had apologised to the crowd, and said they had also considered pulling that gig.
The statement reads: "This morning he was attended by a Melbourne ear nose and throat specialist who diagnosed Thom with marked hoarseness of voice, a significant upper airway infection and associated heavy inflammation of his vocal chords. It was advised that if Thom was to sing in the next few days it could cause irreparable damage to his voice. Consequently and regrettably tonightâ??s concert had to be cancelled.
"Thom and the band would like to apologise to all of their fans, they are aware that people have travelled from all over the country for tonightâ??s show and would like everybody to know that this decision was not taken lightly.
"The band want to thank all of their Australian fans for their support at this time."
Promoter Michael Chugg told radio station Triple J that Yorke has been put on antibiotics to assist with his recovery in time for the bandâ??s appearance at the Coachella festival in California this coming weekend.
Radiohead had already completed two dates in Sydney last Friday and Saturday (April 23-24) as part of the final leg for the promotional tour in support of the release of last yearâ??s â??Hail To The Thiefâ??.
While there is no news as to whether the band will reschedule the show at a later date, fans have been advised they can receive a refund for tickets from point of purchase.

I don't care…as long as I get to see the Pixies, I'll be happy! But it looks like they're announcing the next batch of dates on their tour, and they're arenas. Looks probably like they'll end up doing the Patriot Center, which I am NOT happy about. I'm praying that IMP will put them up at Bender Arena instead for a few nights (hint hint Seth!!) :)
That's a pretty good stretch of days in which to get well. Here's hoping for a full recovery. I'd be quite pleased with just a repeat of the show I saw this summer. I know they get slagged on this board a lot, but it really was pretty great: all the songs were transformed into something very different - a very energetic show - great Close Encounters-like wall of lights.
Here's a set-list from a recent show, before he got sick:
setlist:
01 there there
02 2+2=5
03 myxomatosis
04 morning bell
05 kid a
06 my iron lung
07 backdrifts
08 pyramid song
09 i might be wrong
10 go to sleep
11 where i end and you begin
12 you and whose army?
13 climbing up the walls
14 national anthem
15 exit music
14 paranoid android
15 sit down. stand up
Encore #1:
16 planet telex
17 sail to the moon
18 idioteque
19 how to dissappear completely
Encore #2:
20 karma police
21 everything in its right place
You can view them all @ atease .

I'd love to hear Planet Telex! Last time I saw them play that was at the Black Cat in 1995. That show wasn't even sold out, LOL. Ah, what a difference 9 years makes.
And FYI, the Pixies are doing a "secret" Coachella warm-up gig after Moving Units play. It's somewhere in Pomona, but tickets are already sold out. My flight doesn't land until that evening, so I can't really go anyway. Sigh. There might even be other special guests, but the cover has been blown already and it's definitely the Pixies.

Dayum…that reminds me of the old PSA about not leaving your dog in a car with the windows up: "Hot enough to fry an egg? Hot enough to fry a dog's brain."
I think this will be a vacation where everyone comes back a few pounds lighter.

from atease:
"A lot of Radiohead fans are worried about the band's performance on Coachella this Saturday after the Melbourne cancellation. According to Radiohead management the band are still heading for California, hoping Thom's throat will be healed by then: "At the time of writing this the plans have not changed beyond the cancelled show in Australia".

I think Beck is going to play at Coachella.
thats all i am going to say.

Beck! Day 1. Check out the site map posted today… my only question for those that have been there before, are there limits to these "tents"… I know it's a tent, so I would think so.
the tents, from that i can remember are open air tents. i seem to remember them not really have sides so much. Day 1 should be packed though, so get there early for an act you want to see.
At $2 for a bottle of water? that's a bit expensive, I mean warm.
(visions of Woodstock riots…)
And the FAQ says no squirtguns… and no misting tents… I feel the love.
sunblock, anyone?

I can handle 2 bucks for water. GLad it's not $4 or $5.
So, I can only hope that the site map is no indication of the timing on these bands… I'm not ready to decide between Belle & Sebastian and Bright Eyes…
Hopefully the so-called Coachella stage starts later and they have nobody playing against Radiohead and the Cure….

Will you all stop making me cry everytime someone posts in this thread…. :(
If you haven't already done so, it's a good idea to sign up to receive the What's Up Coachella text messages.
Going to Coachella this year? Sign up to receive Coachella text updates direct to your cell phone or 2-way. You'll get all important festival updates: band set time changes, schedule reminders and more!
