A few days ago, Coachella website showed some activity and posted a video of Azelia Banks, confirming she was booked for the next festival. The young rapper got all excited to share on her Twitter account that she had effectively gotten a spot at Coachella.
Then araabMUZIK dubstep live! was featured on their page,… well 30 seconds of that shit was enough for me.
One thing is sure we will know soon the complete lineup as it was announced on January 18th last year, but remember? This year the festival runs over two weekends, April 13-15 and April 20-22.
There are speculations all over the blogsphere, and the LA Times blog has compiled a list of probable performers based on deep research and the browsing of many other websites, and here it is:
ASAP Rocky
Azealia Banks
Band of Skulls
Childish Gambino
Danny Brown
Elvis Costello
Grouplove
Justice
Keep Shelly in Athens
Laura Marling
M83
Metronomy
No Doubt
Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds
The Head and the Heart
Wild Flag
Young the Giant
Sure it is very short compared to the actual lineup, and there is No Doubt, but where are the other big headliners? Of course big names like Radiohead, David Bowie and the Rolling Stones are coming back every year, and everything is possible…
What about Coldplay, they have a tour and a new album,Queens of the Stone Age will release a new album in 2012, and the Stone Roses? TheShins? Daft Punk? Outkast? Florence and the Machine? Justice?
People spend time making fake posters once again. Well, they can keep dreaming their ideal lineup, we will know for sure soon anyway.
