Coachella 2008

so far nothing to make me jump on a plane. i'd consider it if rem, verve, portishead, tribe, are confirmed.

Raconteurs, Rilo Kiley, My Morning Jacket, and the Verve are all playing.

They will announce the rest of the lineup today!

Peter Gabriel is rumoured to be playing :)

Portishead confirmed as saturday headliner supposedly.

Jack Johnson confirmed.

Roger Waters recreating Dark Side of the Moon
Kraftwerk

Kraftwerk is huge. Most likely means a US tour.

If Seth got Kraftwerk, the Verve, or Portishead at 9:30 I'd be really excited.

interesting. i saw gabriel in '92, one of my first "big" concerts. it was amazing, to this day one of the best stage shows i've seen in terms of using technology creatively. not saying that a festival set of his would necessarily live up to those standards, tho.

kraftwerk: if they're at vfest, no way that they'll be playing the club. probably will have to go to philly (if not NYC) to see them in a club/theater.

verve & portishead: the 930 isn't be big enough. it would indeed be a treat to see them there, but i'd expect them to book a bigger venue.

Obviously 9:30 Club would be preferable, but I'd go to Merriweather or Patriot Center for any of those. I don't care the venue, if Seth can get any of those to DC in 2008 he'll sell tickets to me!

That line-up is pretty "meh" so far.

That line-up defines "meh" so far.


I guess we can hope to see a good size chunk of those bands in this area a week or two before or after that weekend, though.
