Also, I am now really fucking scared that the XX appear to be big enough to headline Sasquatch. They are billed above Sigur Ros and the Postal Service. Oh man, I might skip Sasquatch out of spite if that happened. THIS. They're billed second on Saturday. What. The. Fuck. If the XX do play Sasquatch, I hope they are at least a subheadliner for SRO playing the music of Stars of the Lid, otherwise known as the "free wallets for anyone showing up late" combo.

I recognize I'm in the minority here, but I'll take this year's headliner crop over last year's. RHCP > Dre and Snoop; Phoenix > Black Keys; Blur and Stone Roses playing classic shit > Radiohead playing new shit RHCP without John? Better than Dre and Snoop on stage together? ?

Sunday is so bad

I totally agree that Sunday doesn't stack up with the rest of the days. For Catherine, this is a major plus --- as she'll be catatonic from about 11AM until 5PM on sunday.

This is shitty for Coachella. I can't help but think that there was a bigger name intended in place of Phoenix (DP, Rolling Stones), and I think Phoenix is in that zone where they could be the sub-headliner if one of those big acts pulls a Prince 2007.
I think I'm most disappointed that The Knife won't be there, but Pea's news about them maybe hopefully being at Sasquatch relieves that disappointment. Still, there are a lot of bands I've never seen and will be thrilled to see (Sigur Ros, Hot Chip, Nick Cave, WU TANG), many bands that I've seen but am excited to see again (YYYs, Modest Mouse, Grizzly Bear, Vampire Weekend), and a few bands that I am going to have to work on but I think I will like (Blur, Stone Roses, New Order...basically everything Stamper loves).
There is a serious chance, now, that Sasquatch will be as good or better.

Is now too early to try to convince womp he'll like Nick Cave/Grinderman even though we know he'll hate it, then we'll be surprised when he comes back and says he actually likes it, and everyone looks at each like, "I didn't see that coming."

A lot of really cool stuff I never expected on this lineup. Funny how everyone lost their shit over the Primavera lineup because their undercard was so great, yet people are bitching about Coachella because their headliners suck. I wonder what the consensus would be if the Knife was at Coachella instead of Primavera? Major advantages of Primavera over Coachella: Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Death Grips, John Talabot, Fuck Buttons, Jesus and Mary Chain, THE KNIFE, Fiona Apple, The Breeders, Daphni, My Bloody Valentine, Dan Deacon Advantages of Coachella over Primavera: Modest Mouse, Sigur Ros, Violent Femmes, Vampire Weekend, Grimes If I could choose, I would take Primavera. I'm thrilled to be going to one of them.

I've heard from two completely unrelated sources (I know, I KNOW) that two big names bailed. I think we all know at least one of them was the Rolling Stones.

Really happy to see OMD on there. is there an EDM act called OMD or are you talking about THE Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark?

Do you know the other name, or just that there was another name? That makes total sense to me, because if you put Rolling Stones on top of Saturday and Daft Punk (or anybody) in place of RHCP on Sunday, then you have a more typical Coachella lineup.

Daft Punk will come out and play with Phoenix. Duh.
I really like this lineup minus the headliners. The edm is stacked with artists who I enjoy and there are a lot of bands in the undercard that I'd like to see. It's better than last year imo if you ignore the headliners (which is kind of hard to do). I don't understand why The XX and Social D are listed so high though.

Utter shit except I love Nick Cave x2 Nick Cave on the second line for two separate days on a festival that targets people in their early to mid 20's?! Unbelievable.
