Coachella 2006

[*Tmsta*]

Hey does anyone know who's playing at this years Coachella?
I'm really interested to know and I looked on the Coachella website but the Lineup button doesn't work.

 

[*Tmsta*]

So no one's heard anything?

that's most likely because there is no lineup yet...they almost never announce the full line up until about a month before the festival. if it's in april/may again this year, i wouldn't expect it for a couple more months. sometimes they leak big name headliners, but never the entire line up.

They said tickets go on sale February the 4th. How can they sell tickets for something when no one knows who's playing? How annoying.

Coachella 2006 Tickets - On Sale soon.

Tickets go on sale Saturday, February 4th at noon (pacific standard time). Please check our Tickets page for details. The line up will be announced soon so keep checking back.

that's how it works. i've been twice and both times i only knew of a few bands playing. if it's a 2 day festival with hundreds of bands, in a dessert, with an art show, they bank on the idea that people are going to want to just go. it's basically a big camping trip with 10,000 of your closest friends.

There is a message board on that site with a thread about the rumored line-up. This is apparently the confirmed artists this far (with the confirmed source

• Amadou & Mariam (April 30) [Official Site]
• The Duke Spirit [Startime Records]
• Paul Oakenfold [Rolling Stone]

• The Living Things [LA Weekly]
• Giant Drag [Colorado Springs Independent]
• Lady Sovereign [Official Website (In 'Diary' Section)]
• Imogen Heap [The Press-Enterprise (Registration required, but it just says: "In an interview with The Press-Enterprise, techno singer-songwriter Imogen Heap said she was performing at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The concert promoters would not confirm this fact.")]
• She Wants Revenge [Billboard Tour Finder]
• Minus The Bear (April 30) [Flower Booking]

Coachella lineups don't come out til 3 weeks before the event.


The only band that's confirmed to be there is Depeche Mode.

Trust me, i've heard many other lineups which sound amazing, but none of them are accurate

Like this which is totally wrong.

depeche mode is headlining one night, and it's just been announced that tool is headlining the other:

Tool will join Depeche Mode as the headliners for the 2006 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, which will be held April 29-30 at Empire Polo Field in Indio, Calif. Tool performed at the first Coachella in 1999 but has not played live in the United States since late 2002. The band is expected to release a new album at some point this spring.

Other acts confirmed to appear at this year's festival are Paul Oakenfold, Franz Ferdinand, My Morning Jacket, Bloc Party, TV On The Radio, Sigur Ros, Scissor Sisters, Cat Power, Damian Marley and Tricky. Representing the hip-hop world will be Common, Hasidic reggae rapper Matisyahu, Lyrics Born, Atmosphere, Lady Sovereign, Digable Planets and Gnarls Barkley, a collaboration between producer Danger Mouse and rapper Cee-Lo.

The lineup has been the subject of intense speculation on the Internet in recent weeks, with fake, fan-created show posters spreading like wildfire. At least one major media outlet was duped by a particularly professional-looking fake, going so far as to announce that Smashing Pumpkins would be reforming for Coachella.

"That's not going to happen," Paul Tollett, president of concert promoter Goldenvoice said. "I don't know the story on Smashing Pumpkins. From what I can tell, they're not available." Another rumored reunion that isn't in the cards this year is legendary noise rock band My Bloody Valentine, which has not released a new album since 1991.

"With all the fake lineups out there, it makes it hard when you actually do put a lineup out," Tollett admits with a laugh, "especially when people are saying things like the Beatles and the pre-1965 Rolling Stones!"

Still, Tollett says he's thrilled with the 2006 roster of bands, which will be announced in full later today. He's particularly excited about some of the lesser-known acts, comparing their ranks to last year's crop of Arcade Fire, Keane and M.I.A.

"When the ad came out last year, maybe those bands weren't so big, but when the day came around, they'd blown up," he says. "People will be surprised when they sift through all the band names this year."

Among the up-and-comers set for this year are a host of British acts, including Nine Black Alps, Hard-Fi, Editors, the Zutons, Art Brut, the Magic Numbers and the Subways. The bill is rounded out by the likes of the Walkmen, the Dears, Carl Cox, Wolf Parade, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Phoenix, Deerhoof, Derrick Carter, Devendra Banhart, the Like, Sleater-Kinney, Mogwai, Coheed & Cambria, Mylo, Jamie Lidell, the Go! Team and Coldcut.

Tollett and his colleagues have been confirming acts up until the very last minute for the show, tickets for which go on sale Saturday. "I have the worst flu I've ever had in my life," he says, adding that he spent most of yesterday sleeping in his office. "On Friday, I started to feel sick and I wound up not leaving my couch until this afternoon. But the show must go on."

if the lineup was what ale posted above, i'd so be going...but currently, nothing is impressing me...
