The undercard is nice but I'm afraid of conflicts. Like Saturday night for example. I'm bound to run into a conflict between Phoenix, xx, Postal Service, Hot Chip, Sigur Ros, Violent Femmes, Franz Ferdinand. Basically the majority of the top line stuff I'd actually be most excited for.

How in the everloving Quack is Violent Femmes not on like the second line?
Also, an impressive punk line-up. Jello Biafra and the quacking DESCENDENTS.
As per usual the undercard is phenomenal. While I love me some Blur, they definitely dug themselves in a hole by booking Radiohead and Dre/Snoop two weekends and then trying to live up to that expectation again--especially with all the Rolling Stones rumors lurking around. But it's all about the undercard anyway. And there's SO MUCH GOOD HERE that, statistically, a lot of that is going to carry over to Bonnaroo. And that makes me more excited.
And it's also exciting that this may be a year that Bonnaroo potentially out buzzes Coachella.
I went to Coachella once before and was thoroughly pissed off upon seeing the schedule right before I left. If you want to see more than 1 or 2 acts per line good luck, just by looking at that lineup and with the notroiously short 30-45 min sets youll be lucky to catch half of what you'd like to see on Friday and Saturday.
The headliners other than Blur don't do much for me but the undercard is solid if perhaps not wowing. Bummer about The Knife not being there. With no research I want to see 43 bands and 12 of those I'm highly excited for. If Moby is doing a live show I"m going to be so quacking happy. Moby, Blur, and the YYYs are the best things on there for me. Pretty good stuff. Time to stare at this poster more and get to researching.
"In the darkness hundreds of glowsticks streaked the air like tracer shots in war. Giant inflatables bounced over dozens of light sabers pointed skyward. Stuffed animals impaled on sticks danced above the hot crowds, puppeted by someone just given ecstasy by a friend made seconds before."
April 12-14th - Indio, CA - Coachella Weekend 1
May 3-5th - Memphis, TN - Beale St. Music Festival
June 13-16th - Manchester, TN - Bonnaroo
July 12-14th - Louisville, KY - Forecastle Festival
August 2-4th - Chicago, IL - Lollapalooza
September 27-29th - Atlanta, GA - TomorrowWorld
October 25-27th - Asheville, NC - Mountain Oasis
Maybe the two weekend thing is backfiring on them in terms of headliners?
This is exactly what my buddy just texted me. Good lineup obviously, there's a ton of good music to see, but definitely their most disappointing lineup in years. Doesn't really have that "wow" factor to me outside of Blur and Jurassic 5.
As someone mentioned earlier, Primavera destroyed this. Bonnaroo will easily handle this lineup (First time I think that will have happened in a few years) and I wouldn't be surprised if ACL, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands and even Sasquatch had soundly better lineups.

The one thing Coachella does that makes me envious every timeis getting old punks. Jello, Descendants, Dinosaur Jr, The Evens, Violent Femmes... FiREHOSE last year. Why doesn't Roo attract these guys? Certainly it's not being 'more corporate'. Jam band history? Money? In any case, I'm crossing my fingers that we get some of these acts, but I'm not holding my breath.
