auctioneer69 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 That's a fantastic line-up. Crying in my cornflakes as there is no way I can go. Would love to see the Specials, Sly and the Family Stone, Pavement, Vampire Weekend, LCD Soundsystem, Gorillaz, Thom Yorke, Spoon, Grace Jones, MGMT, Hot Chip and above all Orbital who are renowned for their legendary festival appearances. At first glance an amazing musical smorgasbord of talent. Plus lots of great up-and-coming bands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I'm not the sort who enjoys festivals, but SLY & THE FAMILY STONE???!!!!???!!!One of my all-time favorite groups. Saw Sly perform with the band on TV not that long ago, not sure how he'd be in a full length set... would be fun to check out nevertheless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare In The Alley Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Great lineup. If I was anywhere near there, I'd go for TCV, Gorillaz, Sly, Jay-Z, Spoon, Thom Yorke, Casablancas, and probably others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 that's a whole lot of blah, esp on the 2nd day...there's really not one band i'd want to see that i haven't already aside from gary numan(add Wobble to PiL and i will change my tune on that particular band).

fatheadfred Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Snore. I wish festivals would go away. Sardines. Half sets. Amusement parks. Stink. Trash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 I hate them, and will never go to another one -- it's been ten years since my last one. I posted the lineup mostly because I was excited to see Sly Stone on the schedule. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sureshot Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Saturday is truly awful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 If it wasn't in California, I'd love to do Coachella. I've been to each of the past three Bonnaroos, and I'll probably go to this year's too but I'd like do another. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
luke79 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 This is my 4th year. I'm guessing the average Wilco fan isn't hot on Faith No More, but for me, this is just slightly less amazing than seeing Tom Waits. Plus Pavement....If you've never gone, you should.
