Before 2011 I had never been to Coachella before, but I had always wanted to. After waiting too late to purchase a ticket for the 2010 festival, I promised myself I wouldn't make the same mistake in 2011. And I can proudly say that Coachella 2011 was one of the best experiences of my life.
This past year I jumped on the Coachella lineup announcement hype-train and I had a lot of fun following the speculation every day, viewing fake lineup posters that "leaked" and sorting out the likely performers from the unlikely performers. It was frustrating at times, but also really exciting, especially when mid-January arrived and I was frantically checking Coachella's website every hour to see if the lineup was announced. It wasn't until I was driving home from eating dinner with my girlfriend on the night of the 19th that we both heard the lineup announcement on the radio and naturally began to flip out. Naturally, I proceeded to book it home to ogle the lineup poster for hours.
This year I'm gonna bring the Coachella hype machine to SuburbanSound and post lineup updates, rumored artists, fake posters, etc. until the real lineup is actually released.
So without further ado, here is the first "leaked" lineup poster of the season:
The poster was leaked by Starz Uncut a couple weeks ago. They claim that they received this from an inside source at Goldenvoice, but that the a few artists are not 100% confirmed yet. This would be a superb lineup, but unfortunately that's why I'm not convinced that this is the legitimate one. It's almost too good. The real give-away that it's a fake is that Daft Punk doesn't even share a top line with Foo Fighters on the Saturday night shows. If anything Daft Punk would be the top-billed act. Fans have been pleading for Goldenvoice to bring back the French electronic duo ever since they blew the lid off of the main stage in 2006. If this were the year for it to happen, they'd at least share a line with Foo Fighters. And LMFAO at Coachella? Get that shit out of here!
Since the print gets pretty small, here's a full list of the performers on the poster:
