The hate for the headliners is sort of confusing to me save RHCP.
For me, it's the fact that those bands are headliners. I don't think Phoenix and Stone Roses are deserving headliners and Blur to me is a borderline headliner and underwhelming. And yeah, RHCP needs to go away.

While The Stone Roses/Blur are freaking amazing and Phoenix are quite good as well, they just seem weird as Coachella headliners. I don't think there's much hate for them as just people being underwhelmed.
edit// I appear to be the 100th person to say basically this same thing. so yeah.

Pretty sure it's more "They're big enough to be headliners?" than "Their music isn't good."
That said, a SH*TTON of attendees won't know the Stone Roses or Blur outside of Song 2.
To me it's kind of exciting because they realized they're going to sell out on whatever plays the Sahara and the name of the festival alone anyway, so they went with smaller headliners the bookers of the festival would be psyched to see.

i'm excited b/c i've run into the first world problem of repeating the same shows at fests and there are quite a few names on this lineup that i have never had the chance to see.
This'll be my third Coachella and every year I go through the initial "eh" phase. Even last year when the lineup was freaking fantastic. Yes the headliners aren't great but I set my expectations low this year hoping to get pleasantly surprised and I wasn't. But that doesn't matter because like a few people have already said that undercard is pretty great. I personally can't wait to see Grinderman, Jurassic 5, Violent Femmes, Wu Tang, How to Destroy Angels, Four tet, and the Postal Service all in one weekend. At this point I go for the experience anyway and the lineup is just the cherry on top.
Coachella would cost me about $1000 this year without spending money factored in...Roo might cost me $500 with spending money...the fact that the Coach tickets are $400 after fees with this lineup is mind-boggling...
There were a few late additions last year right? Bon iver, Dre and snoop were not announced with the original line up last year if I remember correctly? I could be wrong tho
Great undercard. I can't believe someone would not want to go to this.
If Bonnaroo had this exact same undercard, a lot of people here would be beyond thrilled. And is McCartney/Mumford/WSP (of course who knows if this is actually it) that much better than Coach's headliners? I feel like people are really sticking to this stupid Bonnaroo/Coachella "rivalry."
I was already financially pushing it anyways. For me there's just not much here that I haven't seen or won't have the chance to see locally sometime this year. And Saturday night (which I'd be most excited for) is already giving me conflict anxiety.
Just not sure if I'm willing to drop another grand on this lineup. The last five years have really spoiled me I guess. Chella's undercard is consistently stacked (as is the case again) but this poster just didn't give me that wow factor I'd grown accustomed to.

I believe they were both on the original lineup last year. Definitely Dre and Snoop.

When I saw Violent Femmes 15 years ago, they were so pissed off that everybody only wanted to hear their first album. Bet they eat that shiz up this time.
Random thought: It's absurd that The xx are ahead of any of Sigur Ros, New Order (Peter Hook or not), Hot Chip and Grizzly Bear, let alone all of them. And a reunited Postal Service. I don't get it.

There's a lot of this on this poster I've noticed. Head-scratching placement issues all around.
