So a flier’s been going around lately, the 2008 Coachella Line-Up. Thank-you Stereogum for clearing up the line. ITS FAKE! Quite a pitty, too, who wouldn’t love to see The Knife, Radiohead, David Bowie, My Bloody Valentine, PJ Harvey, Muse, Chemical Brothers, and Animal Collective on the same card? I think a few essential acts are missing from this fantasy line-up, though.
For one, where’s Justice, M.I.A., Sufjan, Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, DAFT PUNK?! Even some Nine Inch Nails action would be awesome.
So lets make this interesting, what artists would you add or boot out on this fantasy Coachella Line-Up?
MP3 | Arcade Fire – Burning Bridges, Breaking Hearts (live, unreleased)
MP3 | Sufjan Stevens – The 50 States Song (live)
MP3 | M.I.A.- What I Got

I’d love to see the Arctic Monkeys on that list!
That would be really fun
Hmm, the Field, Kanye West, Miranda Lambert, Foo Fighters come to mind
I’m happy with Radiohead! haha.

Of couse, Bloc Party!
Of Montreal, MIKA, Arctic Monkeys, Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsytem
Panda Bear!!
Grizzly Bear!!
OMG YES!
Would be great to see some Raveonettes, Pipettes, and Gossip
I think I saw the Gossip on the flier.
I’d go nuts if Bn Harper was tthere
I’d like to see the Killers, Babyshambles, Jimmy Eat World, Justice, Diplo, and Panda Bear!
I think Bloc Party would be awesome @ coachella
I’m happy with all the bands already mentioned. Jose Gonzales, Yo La Tengo, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs woule be cool too
What’s the deal with everyone falling for fake lineups that don’t have enough hip hop or dance tent acts or the token “why are they playing” acts (James Blunt, Fountains of Wayne, etc) every year. A lot of these big names are to die for, of course. Kudos for the headliners, Portishead, The Verve, Portishead, Feist, The Knife, Aphex Twin, Beirut, Battles, etc.
The following acts should not be on any poster, real or dream:
Louis XIV (terrible)
Lauryn Hill (washed up)
Queens of the Stone Age (boring live, don’t make good music anymore)
The REAL lineup should also include these:
Asobi Seksu
Amanda Palmer
St. Vincent
R.E.M.
Spiritualized
The Magnetic Fields
David Bowie
Akron/Family
Islands
etc
Umm…. Portishead is playing. Get excited about that.
Dredg should be on that lineup
THE PRODIGY are going to be playing this years coachella, back with a new album to rock coachella harder than anyone else. I cant wait to see them!
i bet the hives play coachella
Hmmm…my understanding is that Muse and Radiohead will NEVER play together on the same bill, based on some reports that the two groups can’t stand each other?
Or was this years ago?
Can someone verify?
Ive contacted several bands on this flyer and they have all verified that they will be at Coachella……
as for Justice, LCD Soundsysem, Arcade Fire and Daft Punk they have all played Coach. in the last two years, keep it fresh dude.
I’d dig seeing Weakerthans
smashing pumpkins and animal collective !
the fake linuep was such a bullshit thing to do
that would’ve been the greatest coachella yet..
SIGUR ROS
JACK JOHNSON
CHEMICAL BROTHERS
how about some Lil Wayne on dat list too?
Hello. And Bye.
