2010 Coachella Lineup Announced

Coachella

Coachella 2010: Pavement! As expected and feverishly rooted for, the reunited indie-rock gods will be playing the festival on Sunday, with Gorillaz (really?) heading up that night and Jay-Z (yes!) and Muse (blech) headlining Friday and Saturday, respectively. There’s a number of winners in the lineup: Thom Yorke’s solo project (the best show of ’09), Grizzly Bear, Phoenix and Dirty Projectors are the big ones, but also, Sly and the Family Stone, Yo La Tengo and Sunny Day Real Estate — all playing Sunday! Let’s just cross our fingers Pavement plays a secret show in L.A., My Bloody Valentine style, to make up for the lack of headliner status.

Coachella will be held from Friday, April 16, through Sunday, April 18. More updates to come in this space.

    Gorillaz > Pavement? Are Gorillaz even more popular than Pavement?

    and Faith No More? What the what? Shame for Hot Chip and the Dirty Projectors to be stuck on the same night Muse is headlining.

    As a two day festival, this would be right up there with Coachella’s best years. Three days remains a terrible decision quality-wise.

    There were rumors that Soundgarden were going to headline. I guess that would have made it too mainstream…?

    Thank goodness I’m not the only one who thinks Muse is lame.
