I would bet that the average Coachella goer DOES know who Atoms for Peace is, and if they don't, a little research would lead them to find out that it's a side project of one of modern music festivals' favorite artists. That's what makes it weird to me is that said favourite band of the festival would headline the previous year and then Thom's side project would headline the next year. That and I can't think of a headliner in the last few years that would make the average radio listener say 'who?' Then again I don't live in California so maybe they are a much bigger deal down there.

For the record, I don't think they would be a headliner. Definitely sub.

That fake poster must have been made by a canadian because Metric and Tegan and Sara shouldn't be billed that high.

That fake poster couldn't have been made by a canadian because Dan Mangan isn't on there.

Blur aren't headliners either.

Which is exactly what they played at Coachella 2010. The full band is more or less a progression of that project.

The Eraser is boring. Everything I've heard from Atoms for Peace is also boring. Also Atoms for Peace is a stupid-ass name.

I agree with most of that. I don't get as hung up on names as you do though, so I don't really care about that aspect of them either way. I would probably take the opportunity to go check out a much less crowded stage during their set, to be honest. I remember getting really excited for One Day as a Lion last year because I had never seen ZdlR live, and then thinking to myself, "Oh yea, this isn't Rage. This actually kind of sucks."

I'd go see Atoms for Peace at a festival, don't get me wrong. I'd watch Flea in pretty much any capacity, and Thom Yorke is still one of the greatest performers alive. I'd be holding my breath for 'Morning Bell' the whole time, though, and my verdict would inevitably be 'Eh, that was alright.'
I sure do get hung up on crappy names, though. Nothing to do about that.

Atoms for Peace were great the first time they played Coachella as ?. They used the original Radiohead light show. Flea is boss on the bass.

Has anyone made travel arrangements for Coachella? If so, when/where are you flying/driving in? Also, who has camping?

There was a big discussion about this when the pre-sale happened, but i'm not sure of all the details any longer. The first post on here is a bit devoid of details.
All I know is: 1. Shax has my ticket, and is going to deliver it in person 2. Pea and Mrlahey are flying to SD 3. The three of us are driving up and camping together, I would assume arriving Thursday.
If we're going to attempt a wal-mart meet up / camping coordination, Thursday afternoon is probably the best time.

I only vaguely remember the conversation. I didn't buy a camping pass because I was going to jump in with someone else...but I have no idea who. Nater and Shax?
